β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents an analytical study on the free and forced vibration of inhomogeneous EulerβBernoulli beams containing open edge cracks. The beam is subjected to an axial compressive force and a concentrated transverse load moving along the longitudinal direction. The rotational spring model is used to model the crack causing sectional flexibility. The forced response is determined by employing modal series expansion technique. Analytical solutions of natural frequencies and dynamic deflections are obtained for cantilever, hingedβhinged, and clampedβclamped beams whose material properties follow an exponential through-thickness variation. Numerical results are given in both tabular and graphical forms. The effects of cracks, material property gradient, axial compression, and the speed of the moving load are discussed in detail in the parametric study.

Structures are weakened by cracks. When the crack size increases in course of time, the structure becomes weaker than its previous condition. Finally, the structure may breakdown due to a minute crack. Therefore, crack detection and classification is a very important issue. In this study, free and f
Natural frequencies and buckling loads of a simply supported beam with small length-to-depth ratio and sufficiently thin rectangular cross-sections subjected to initial axial tensile and/or compressive forces are analyzed. By using the method of power series expansion of displacement components, a s
The problem of lateral vibration of a beam subjected to an eccentric compressive force and a harmonically varying transverse concentrated moving force is analyzed within the framework of the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory. The Lagrange equations are used to examine the free vibration characteristics of
The dynamic response of a rotating shaft subject to axial force and moving loads is analyzed by using Timoshenko beam theory and the assumed mode method. The deformations of the shaft are expressed in terms of an inertial reference frame. The kinetic and potential energy are then expressed in matrix
