β¦ Synopsis
Equations of motion for curved beams in a general state of non-uniform initial stresses are derived using the principle of virtual work. The equations are adjusted to a generic expression by using appropriate transformations. The free vibration behaviours of the curved beams subjected to a combination of uniform initial tensile of compressive stresses and uniform initial bending stress are examined. The Galerkin method is employed in obtaining accurate values of free frequencies and initial buckling stresses. The curved beam is assumed to be vibrating in its plane. Natural frequencies and initial buckling stresses for hinged supported curved beams are presented for validation. Effects of arc segment angles, elastic foundation, and initial stresses on the natural frequencies are investigated. Effects of arc segment angles, elastic foundation, and initial bending stresses on the initial buckling stresses are explored in this paper.

Treated herein is the vibration of isotropic Reddy plates. The plates considered are of general polygonal shape and their edges are all simply supported. Complicating effects such as the presence of initial stresses and a Winkler-Pasternak foundation are also considered. It is shown herein that the
Three groups of elastic constants, defined as orthotropic constants, have been introduced in this paper, and utilizing these constants enables the transformed stiffness to be expressed in rather simple forms. To simulate spatial fiber orientation in a preferred direction, a distribution function con
In this paper, a theoretical model is developed for the dynamic analysis of composite thin-walled beams with open or closed cross-sections. The present model incorporates, in a full form, the shear flexibility (bending and warping shear) as well as a state of initial stresses. This allows to study t
