Transverse Response of an Axially Moving Beam with Intermediate Viscoelastic Support

Abstract

This study presented the transverse vibration of an axially moving beam with an intermediate nonlinear viscoelastic foundation. Hamilton’s principle was used to derive the nonlinear equations of motion. The finite difference and state-space methods transform the partial differential equations into a system of coupled first-order regular differential equations. The numerical modeling procedures are utilized for evaluating the effects of parameters, such as axial translation velocity, flexure rigidities of the beam, damping, and stiffness of the support on the transverse response amplitude and frequencies. It is observed that the dimensionless fundamental frequency and magnitude of axial speed had an inverse correlation. Furthermore, increasing the flexure rigidity of the beam reduced the transverse displacement, but at the same instant, fundamental frequency rises. Vibration amplitude is found to be significantly reduced with higher damping of support. It is also observed that an increase in the foundation damping leads to lower fundamental frequencies, whereas increasing the foundation stiffness results in higher frequencies.

Nonlinear dynamic and stability of a small size moving beam under thermal conditions

“…Since high‐magnitude oscillation can cause structural failure, numerous studies have looked into a range of techniques to control the excessive amplitude of oscillation of moving beam like structures, such as the passive/active control strategies, feedback control scheme, and boundary control technique to smoothen the beam movement 18–21 . The vibration problem in other complex engineering structures has been studied in previous studies 22–26 …”

“…[18][19][20][21] The vibration problem in other complex engineering structures has been studied in previous studies. [22][23][24][25][26] Thermal contraction/expansion is developed in the presence of a temperature gradient. The temperature gradient directly influences the dynamic stability of both moving and stationary mechanical structures.…”

Thermoelastic characteristics of moving viscoelastic nanobeams based on the nonlocal couple stress theory and dual-phase lag model

“…Axially moving structures at macro and nanoscales have been of a great interest due to their outstanding features and sub-micron structures like rods, beams and plates are exploited in more sophisticated and nanosized applications and therefore it is fascinating to observe how these systems behave dynamically in different environmental conditions. Ali et al [18] investigated the lateral vibration of moving beams on an inelastic viscous foundation. Ozkaya and Oz [19] used artificial neural networks to detect the frequencies and stability regions of axially moving microbeams.…”
