Flexible L-shaped beams are integrated sub-components of several navy and space structures where overall response of the system is affected by these structures. Hence, an understanding of the dynamical properties of these structural systems is required for their design and control. Recent studies show that the dynamic response of beam like structures undergoing large deformation is nonlinear in nature where phenomenon such as jump and chaotic response can be detected. In this study, nonlinear free vibrations of L-shaped beams are studied using a continuous beam model with a focus on the internal resonance of these structures. Nonlinearity considered is due to large deflection of the beams (geometric nonlinearity). Hamilton principle and Euler Bernoulli beam theory are used to obtain the nonlinear equations of motion. The differential quadrature method (DQM) is utilized to discretize the partial differential equations of motion in spatial domain, which resulted in a nonlinear set of ordinary differential equations of motion in time domain. Harmonic balance method is used to convert the ordinary differential equations of motion into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations which is solved numerically. Numerical simulations, based on the mathematical model, are presented to analyze the nonlinear responses of the L-shape beam structure.

In this thesis, nonlinear vibration analysis of both fixed L-shaped beam and L-shaped beam attached to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system is performed for several cases with different structural parameters to observe the effect of these parameters. Then these beams are proposed to reduce the vibration amplitudes of certain structures, and the nonlinear effects on the dynamic responses of these structures are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic model of the L-shaped beam is obtained by using Euler-Bern...

Batihan, Ali Cagri; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (2016-06-01)
The transverse vibrations of cracked beams with rectangular cross sections resting on Pasternak and generalized elastic foundations are considered. Both the Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko beam (TB) theories are used. The open edge crack is represented as a rotational spring whose compliance is obtained by the fracture mechanics. By applying the compatibility conditions between the beam segments at the crack location and the boundary conditions, the characteristic equations are derived, from which the n...

Dedekoy, Demir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Bediz, Bekir (2023-01-01)
In this paper, nonlinear forced vibrations of uniform and functionally graded Euler-Bernoulli beams with large deformation are studied. Spectral and temporal boundary value problems of beam vibrations do not always have closed-form analytical solutions. As a result, many approximate methods are used to obtain the solution by discretizing the spatial problem. Spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) utilizes the Chebyshev polynomials for spatial discretization and applies Galerkin's method to obtain boundary condi...

In this paper, nonlinear vibration analysis of micro scale functionally graded material (FGM) beams with geometric nonlinearity due to large deflection is studied using modified couple stress theory (MCST). MCST is a nonlocal elasticity theory which includes a material length scale parameter since the size of an atomic microstructure becomes comparable to the length of the microbeam. Equations of motion of the micro scale FGM beam are obtained by using Hamilton's principle. Nonlinear free vibrations of the ...
