Abstract:The correspondence principle has been applied to derive the differential equations of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams with external viscous damping. These equations are solved by Laplace transform and boundary conditions are applied to obtain complex frequency equations and mode shapes for beams of any combination of end conditions. For beams without external damping, the correspondence principle can be applied directly to the available solutions of elastic Timoshenko beams. Numerical illustration is given.
“…10 For example, some researchers only consider damping associated with the mass operator with no spatial derivatives -i.e., deflection or rotation alone. 11,12,13,14 Others consider only strain-or shear-based damping, perhaps through a viscoelastic formulation of the constitutive equations. 15,16,17 As with structural damping, the concept of proportional damping can be extended to apply to the boundary conditions to model their associated dissipative mechanisms.…”
Spacecraft wiring harnesses can fundamentally alter a spacecraft's structural dynamics, necessitating a model to predict the coupled dynamic response of the structure and attached cabling. While a beam model including first-order transverse shear can accurately predict vibration resonance frequencies, current time-domain damping models are inadequate. For example, the common proportional damping model results in modal damping that depends unrealistically on the frequency. Inspired by a geometric rotation-based viscous damping model that provides frequency-independent modal damping in an Euler-Bernoulli formulation, a time-domain viscous damping model with terms associated with the shear and bending angles is presented. This model demonstrates a much weaker dependence on frequency than proportional damping models. Specifically, the model provides modal damping that is approximately constant in the bending-dominated regime (low mode numbers), increasing by at most 6% for a particular selection of bending and shear angle-based damping coefficients. In the shear-dominated regime (high mode numbers), damping values increase linearly with mode number and are proportional to the shear angle-based damping coefficient. A key feature of this model is its ready implementation in a finite element analysis, requiring only the typical mass, stiffness, and geometric stiffness (associated with axial loads) matrices as developed for an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Such an analysis using empirically determined damping coefficients generates damping values that agree well with existing spacecraft cable bundle data.

“…The second common approach is through the inclusion of proportional damping terms. Here damping terms result as some combination of terms proportional to the mass and stiffness terms [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. This technique is mathematically convenient; however, it fails to provide modal damping that is physically realistic.…”

“…Several such approaches exist; the solution employed here is to interpolate the displacement, w, using cubic shape functions and the centerline slope associated with bending, φ, using quadratic shape functions [20]. The coordinates can thus be written in terms of the shape functions (9) where (10) The shape functions are (11) (12) Where ϕ is an elemental shear stiffness parameter: (13) Inserting these shape functions in Equation (8) ultimately leads to the mass, damping, and stiffness matrices for each element. The elemental mass matrix comes from terms involving the second time derivative of the displacements and rotations: (14) where…”

“…In order to investigate the vibration fatigue characteristics of the viscoelastic structures, the modal analysis method can be used to derive the analytical solutions. By using the complex modal method and Laplace transform, Huang and Huang [3] studied the free vibration of Timoshenko viscoelastic beams satisfying the standard linear solid constitutive equations. Considering the axial forces, Chen et al [4] studied the vibration characteristics of clamped-clamped Timoshenko viscoelastic beams constituted by the Kelvin-Voigt model.…”
Based on the equivalent bending stiffness of the viscoelastic cracked beam with open cracks, the corresponding complex frequency characteristic equations of a Timoshenko viscoelastic cracked beam are obtained by using the method of separation of variables and the Laplace transform. The vibration characteristics of a viscoelastic Timoshenko cracked beams with the standard linear solid model and Kelvin-Voigt model are investigated. By numerical examples, the effects of the crack location, crack number, crack depth, and slenderness ratio on the vibration characteristics of the viscoelastic cracked beams are revealed.
