A Timoshenko beam theory with pressure corrections for layered orthotropic beams

open access: yesInternational Journal of Solids and Structures, 2011
AbstractA Timoshenko beam theory for layered orthotropic beams is presented. The theory consists of a novel combination of three key components: average displacement and rotation variables that provide the kinematic description of the beam, stress and strain moments used to represent the average stress and strain state in the beam, and the use of exact

Surface Elasticity Based Nonlocal Vibration Analysis of Bidirectional Functionally Graded Tapered Nanobeam

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
This work proposes a surface elasticity‐based nonlocal model for analyzing the vibrations of bi‐directionally graded tapered nanobeam. The results demonstrate that, in absence of surface effect, the increasing value of tapered parameter leads to stiffness‐hardening of the nanobeam. However, the consideration of surface effect changes this trend and the

Damage identification on spatial Timoshenko arches by means of genetic algorithms

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper a procedure for the dynamic identification of damage in spatial Timoshenko arches is presented. The proposed approach is based on the calculation of an arbitrary number of exact eigen-properties of a damaged spatial arch by means of the ...

Fibrous model for the simulation of the cyclic behaviour of 3D reinforced concrete frames [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Relatório 07-DEC/E-04Non-linear finite element analysis has attracted a lot of attention in last few decades, as real life problems dealing with analysis of concrete beams and columns are generally non-linear in nature.

On Stability of Hyperbolic Thermoelastic Reissner-Mindlin-Timoshenko Plates

open access: yes, 2013
In the present article, we consider a thermoelastic plate of Reissner-Mindlin-Timoshenko type with the hyperbolic heat conduction arising from Cattaneo's law. In the absense of any additional mechanical dissipations, the system is often not even strongly

Comparison of 1D and 2D solutions for a beam under transverse impact

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The problem of non-stationary vibration of an elastic beam caused by a transverse impact loading is studied in this work. In particular, two different approaches to the derivation of analytical solution of the problem are compared. The first one is based
