The main purpose of this paper is to study the effects of initial stress, gravity, anisotropy and porosity on the propagation of shear wave (SH-waves) in a fiber-reinforced layer placed over a porous media. The frequency equations in a closed form have been derived for SH-waves by applying suitable boundary conditions. The frequency equations have been expanded and approximated up to $2^{nd}$ order of Whittaker's function. It has been observed that the SH-wave velocity decreases as width of fiber-reinforced layer increases. However, with the increase of initial stress, gravity parameter and porosity, the phase velocity increases. The results obtained are in perfect agreement with the standard results investigated by other relevant researchers.

Multibody system dynamics is based on classical mechanics and its engineering applications originating from mechanisms, gyroscopes, satellites and robots to biomechanics. Multibody system dynamics is characterized by algorithms or formalisms, respectively, ready for computer implementation. As a result simulation and animation are most convenient. Recent developments in multibody dynamics are identified as elastic or flexible systems, respectively, contact and impact problems, and actively controlled systems. Based on the history and recent activities in multibody dynamics, recursive algorithms are introduced and methods for dynamical analysis are presented. Linear and nonlinear engineering systems are analyzed by matrix methods, nonlinear dynamics approaches and simulation techniques. Applications are shown from low frequency vehicles dynamics including comfort and safety requirements to high frequency structural vibrations generating noise and sound, and from controlled limit cycles of mechanisms to periodic nonlinear oscillations of biped walkers. The fields of application are steadily increasing, in particular as multibody dynamics is considered as the basis of mechatronics.

Experimental and theoretical study of the non-planar response motions of a circular cantilever beam subject to base harmonic excitation has been presented in this paper work. Theoretical research is conducted using two non-linear coupled integral-differential equations of motion. These equations contain cubic linearities due do curvature term and inertial term. A combination of the Galerkin procedure and the method of multiple scales are used to construct a first-order uniform expansion for the case of one-to-one resonance. The results show that the non-linear geometric terms are very important for the low-frequency modes of the first and second mode. The non-linear inertia terms are also important for the high-frequency modes. We present the quantitative and qualitative results for non-planar motions of the dynamic behavior.

In this paper, the purpose is to investigate the stability and variation of natural frequency of a Timoshenko cantilever beam subjected to Subtangential follower force and tip mass. In addition, an analysis of the flutter instability(flutter critical follower force) of a cantilever beam as slenderness ratio is investigated. The governing differential equations of a Timoshenko beam subjected to an end tangential follower force is derived via Hamilton;s principle. The two coupled governing differential equations are reduced to one fourth order ordinary differential equation in terms of the flexural displacement. Finally, the influence of the slenderness ratio and tip mass on the critical follower force and the natural frequency of a Timoshenko beam are investigated.

The vibration analysis of a rotating cantilever beam made-up of functionally graded materials is presented based on Timoshenko beam theory. The material properties of the beams are assumed to be varied through the thickness direction following a simple power-law form. The frequency equations, which are coupled through gyroscopic coupling terms, are calculated using hybrid deformation variable modeling along with the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode methods. In this study, resulting system of ordinary differential equations shows the effects of power-law exponent, angular speed, length to height ratio and Young's modulus ratio. It is believed that the results will be a reference with which other researchers and commercial FE analysis program, ANSYS can compare their results.

A method for the dynamic analysis of curved beam conveying fluid presents. The dynamics of curved beam is based on inextensible theory and the fluid in curved beam has uniform velocity. The equations of motion of curved beam are decoupled by in-plane motion and out-of$.$Plane motion. The solutions of equations are presented by a finite element method and validate by comparing the natural frequency with analytical solution, straight beam theories and Nastran. The influence of fluid velocity on the frequency response function is illustrated and discussed.

Equations of motion for a 7 DOF full car model is developed in detail and used for the design of LQR based active suspension system. The frequency response to road disturbance input and the motion of a car passing unequal bumps were used to analyzed the dynamic characteristics of the 7 DOF full car with passive or active suspensions. The resulting linear equations of motion may be usefull in designing other types of active suspension.

The differential equations governing free vibrations of the elastic, horizontally curved beams with unsymmetric axis are derived in Cartesian coordinates rather than in polar coordinates, in which the effect of torsional inertia is included. Frequencies are computed numerically for the sinusoidal curved beams with both clamped ends and both hinged ends. Comparisons of natural frequencies between this study and SAP 2000 are made to validate theories and numerical methods developed herein. The convergent efficiency is highly improved under the newly derived differential equations in Cartesian coordinates. The lowest four natural frequency parameters are reported, with and without torsional inertia, as functions of three non-dimensional system parameters: the horizontal rise to chord length ratio, the span length to chord length ratio, and the slenderness ratio.

In the practical engineering fields, the horizontally curved beams are frequently erected as the major/minor structural components. The effects of both variable curvature and variable cross-section on structural behavior are very important and therefore these effects should be included in structural analyses. From this viewpoint, this paper deals with the free vibrations of horizontally curved beams with variable curvature and variable cross-section. In this study, the parabola as the curvilinear shape and stepped beam as the variable cross-section are considered. The ordinary differential equation governing free vibrations of such beams are derived. For calculating the natural frequencies, the governing equations are solved by numerical methods. The Runge-Kutta and Determinant search Methods are used for integrating the differential equations and for calculating the natural frequencies, respectively. With regard to numerical results, the relationships between frequency parameters and various beam parameters are presented in the forms of Table and Figures.
