  • crack identification in multi Span Beams on elastic foundation by using transfer matrix method
    Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures, 2020
    Co-Authors: Baran Bozyigit, Yusuf Yesilce, Irem Bozyigit, Abdel M Wahab
    Abstract:

    In this study, an analytical based approach is proposed for detection of cracks in multi-Span Euler-Bernoulli Beams on Winkler foundation. Transfer matrix method (TMM) is used for both forward and inverse problems. The crack is modeled by means of a linear rotational spring. For the forward problem, natural frequencies of intact and cracked multi-Span Beam models are calculated via TMM for two different support arrangements and the results are compared with those obtained using finite element method (FEM). In the inverse problem, the crack location and crack length are calculated based on the natural frequencies obtained from FEM simulations using plots of rotational spring flexibilities versus crack location. The predicted crack properties are tabulated with actual data. It is seen that considering elastic foundation slightly decreases the accuracy of crack depth prediction for multi-Span Beams. However, the accuracy of localization of crack is not affected by Winkler foundation.

  • effect of axial force on the free vibration of reddy bickford multi Span Beam carrying multiple spring mass systems
    Journal of Vibration and Control, 2010
    Co-Authors: Yusuf Yesilce
    Abstract:

    Structural elements supporting motors or engines are frequently seen in technological applications. The operation of a machine may introduce additional dynamic stresses on the Beam. It is important to know the natural frequencies of the coupled Beam—mass system for a proper design of the structural elements. There is plenty of literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli—Euler single-Span Beams carrying a number of spring—mass system and Bernoulli—Euler multi-Span Beams carrying multiple spring—mass systems, but less is available regarding Reddy—Bickford multi-Span Beam carrying multiple spring—mass systems with/without axial force effect. This paper aims at determining the exact solutions for the first five natural frequencies and mode shapes of Reddy—Bickford Beams. The model allows the influence of the shear effect and spring—mass systems on the dynamic behavior of the Beams to be analyzed by using Reddy—Bickford Beam theory. The effects of the attached spring—mass systems on the free ...

  • Effect of axial force on free vibration of Timoshenko multi-Span Beam carrying multiple spring-mass systems
    International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 2008
    Co-Authors: Yusuf Yesilce, Oktay Demirdag
    Abstract:

    Abstract The situation of structural elements supporting motors or engines attached to them is usual in technological applications. The operation of machine may introduce severe dynamic stresses on the Beam. It is important, then, to know the natural frequencies of the coupled Beam-mass system, in order to obtain a proper design of the structural elements. The literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli–Euler single-Span Beams carrying a number of spring-mass system and Bernoulli–Euler multi-Span Beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems are plenty, but that of Timoshenko multi-Span Beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems with axial force effect is fewer. This paper aims at determining the exact solutions for the first five natural frequencies and mode shapes of a Timoshenko multi-Span Beam subjected to the axial force. The model allows analyzing the influence of the shear and axial force effects and spring-mass systems on the dynamic behavior of the Beams by using Timoshenko Beam Theory (TBT). The effects of attached spring-mass systems on the free vibration characteristics of the 1–4 Span Beams are studied. The calculated natural frequencies of Timoshenko multi-Span Beam by using secant method for non-trivial solution for the different values of axial force are given in tables. The mode shapes are presented in graphs.

  • closed form equation for natural frequencies of Beams under full range of axial loads modeled with a spring mass system
    International Journal of Mechanical Sciences, 2019
    Co-Authors: Juan Valle, Daniel Fernandez, Jordi Madrenas
    Abstract:

    Abstract A new simple closed-form equation that accurately predicts the effect of an arbitrarily large constant axial load, residual stress or temperature shift on the natural frequencies of an uniform single-Span Beam, with various end conditions, is presented. Its accuracy and applicability range are studied by comparing its predictions with numerical simulations and with the approximate Galef’s and Bokaian’s formulas. The new equation may be understood as a refinement or extension of these two approximate formulas. Significant accuracy and applicability range improvements are achieved, especially near the buckling point and for large and moderate axial load. The new closed-form equation is applicable in the full range of axial load, i.e., from the buckling load to the tensioned-string limit. It also models well the Beam-to-string transition region for the eight boundary conditions studied. It works remarkably well in the free-free and sliding-free cases, where it is a near-exact solution. In addition, it yields the natural frequencies of a 1-D spring-mass system that may be used to model tensioned Beams, and potentially, more complex systems.
