Hence, a method for calculating the natural frequencies of track-bridge systems is proposed. The influence of the flexural stiffness of the track-bridge system, the vertical and longitudinal stiffness of the mortar layer,gap position and gap length on the natural frequencies of a track-bridge system is discussed. The results show that the natural frequencies of the track-bridge system are more sensitive to the change of the flexural stiffness of the bridge layer. The change of the longitudinal stiffness of the mortar layer and gap position has no obvious effect on the trackbridge system’s natural frequencies, while the interlayer vertical stiffness has a larger impact. The gap length has a more significant effect on the 4th-5th order natural frequencies of the track-bridge system. The range of the natural frequencies that are affected by the gap widens as the gap length increases.展开更多

Based on Biot's assumptions, constitutive relations for the core are presented and effective properties of the skins are determined via the rule of mixture. A sinusoidal theory is used to capture the shear deformation effects, and to account for the scale effects, the modified couple stress theory is employed which suggests a material length-scale parameter for predicting the results in small-dimension. With the aid of extended form of Hamilton's principle for dynamic systems, differential equations of motion are extracted. Fourier series functions are used to obtain natural frequencies and after validating them, a set of parametric studies are carried out. The results show the significant effects of porosity and Skempton coefficient, pores placement patterns, CNTs addition and distribution patterns, temperature variations, material length-scale parameter and viscoelastic medium on the natural frequencies of the microstructure. The outcomes of this work could be used to design and manufacture more reliable micro cylindrical structures in thermo-dynamical environments.展开更多

文摘Based on Hamilton’s principle, the differential equations of free vibration of track-bridge systems with mortar gap are derived. Hence, a method for calculating the natural frequencies of track-bridge systems is proposed. The influence of the flexural stiffness of the track-bridge system, the vertical and longitudinal stiffness of the mortar layer,gap position and gap length on the natural frequencies of a track-bridge system is discussed. The results show that the natural frequencies of the track-bridge system are more sensitive to the change of the flexural stiffness of the bridge layer. The change of the longitudinal stiffness of the mortar layer and gap position has no obvious effect on the trackbridge system’s natural frequencies, while the interlayer vertical stiffness has a larger impact. The gap length has a more significant effect on the 4th-5th order natural frequencies of the track-bridge system. The range of the natural frequencies that are affected by the gap widens as the gap length increases.

文摘This manuscript presents the comprehensive study of thickness stretching effects on the free vibration,static stability and bending of multilayer functionally graded(FG)carbon nanotubes reinforced composite(CNTRC)nanoplates.The nanoscale and microstructure influences are considered through a modified nonlocal strain gradient continuum model.Based on power-law functions,four different patterns of CNTs distribution are considered in this analysis,a uniform distribution UD,FG-V CNTRC,FG-X CNTRC,and FG-O CNTRC.A 3D kinematic shear deformation theory is proposed to include the stretching influence,which is neglected in classical theories.Hamilton's principle is applied to derive the governing equations of motion and associated boundary conditions.Analytical solutions are developed based on Galerkin method to solve the governing equilibrium equations based on the generalized higher-order shear deformation theory and the nonlocal strain gradient theory and get the static bending,buckling loads,and natural frequencies of nanoplates.Verification with previous works is presented.A detailed parametric analysis is carried out to highlight the impact of thickness stretching,length scale parameter(nonlocal),material scale parameter(gradient),CNTs distribution pattern,geometry of the plate,various boundary conditions and the total number of layers on the stresses,deformation,critical buckling loads and vibration frequencies.Many new results are also reported in the current study,which will serve as a benchmark for future research.

文摘This paper develops electro-elastic relations of functionally graded cylindrical nanoshell integrated with intelligent layers subjected to multi-physics loads resting on elastic foundation.The piezoelectric layers are actuated with external applied voltage.The nanocore is assumed in-homogeneous in which the material properties are changed continuously and gradually along radial direction.Third-order shear deformation theory is used for the description of kinematic relations and electric potential distribution is assumed as combination of a linear function along thickness direction to show applied voltage and a longitudinal distribution.Electro-elastic size-dependent constitutive relations are developed based on nonlocal elasticity theory and generalized Hooke’s law.The principle of virtual work is used to derive governing equations in terms of four functions along the axial and the radial directions and longitudinal electric potential function.The numerical results including radial and longitudinal displacements are presented in terms of basic input parameters of the integrated cylindrical nanoshell such as initial electric potential,small scale parameter,length to radius ratio and two parameters of foundation.It is concluded that both displacements are increased with an increase in small-scale parameter and a decrease in applied electric potential.
文摘This article presents the investigation of nonlinear vibration analysis of tapered porous functionally graded skew(TPFGS)plate considering the effects of geometrical non-uniformities to optimize the thickness in the structural design.The TPFGS plate is analyzed considering linearly,bi-linearly,and exponentially varying thicknesses.The plate’s effective material properties are tailor-made using a modified power-law distribution in which gradation varies along the thickness direction of the TPFGS plate.Incorporating the non-linear finite element formulation to develop the kinematic equation’s displacement model for the TPFGS plate is based on the first-order shear deformation theory(FSDT)in conjunction with von Karman’s nonlinearity.The nonlinear governing equations are established by Hamilton’s principle.The direct iterative method is adopted to solve the nonlinear mathematical relations to obtain the nonlinear frequencies.The influence of the porosity distributions and porosity parameter indices on the nonlinear frequency responses of the TPFGS plate for different skew angles and variable thicknesses are studied for various geometrical parameters.The influence of taper ratio,variable thickness,skewness,porosity distributions,gradation,and boundary conditions on the plate’s nonlinear vibration is demonstrated.The nonlinear frequency analysis reveals that the geometrical nonuniformities and porosities significantly influence the porous functionally graded plates with varying thickness than the uniform thickness.Besides,exponentially and linearly variable thicknesses can be considered for the thickness optimizations of TPFGS plates in the structural design.
