Vibration of Piezoelectric Nanowires Including Surface Effects [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Nanostructures, 2014
In this paper, surface and piezoelectric effects on the vibration behavior of nanowires (NWs) are investigated by using a Timoshenko beam model. The electric field equations and the governing equations of motion for the piezoelectric NWs are derived with

Macaulay's Method for a Timoshenko Beam [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, 2007
The Macaulay bracket notation is familiar to many engineers for the deflection analysis of a Euler–Bernoulli beam subject to multiple or discontinuous loads. An expression for the internal bending moment, and hence curvature, is valid at all locations along the beam, and the deflection curve can be calculated by integrating twice with respect to the ...

Consistency aspects of out-of-plane bending, torsion and shear in a quadratic curved beam element [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Curved beams in civil engineering applications call for out-of-plane bending and torsion under the action of13; out-of-plane transverse shear loads. The design of a quadratic displacement curved beam element capable of13; representing shear deformation ...

Modified beam theories for bending properties of nanowires considering surface/intrinsic effects and axial extension effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Several studies of the surface effect on bending properties of a nanowire (NW) have been conducted. However, these analyses are mainly based on theoretical predictions, and there is seldom integration study in combination between theoretical predictions ...
