A Semianalytical Method for Nonlinear Vibration of Euler-Bernoulli Beams with General Boundary Conditions

الملخص EN

This paper presents a new semianalytical approach for geometrically nonlinear vibration analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams with different boundary conditions.

The method makes use of Linstedt-Poincaré perturbation technique to transform the nonlinear governing equations into a linear differential equation system, whose solutions are then sought through the use of differential quadrature approximation in space domain and an analytical series expansion in time domain.

Validation of the present method is conducted in numerical examples through direct comparisons with existing solutions, showing that the proposed semianalytical method has excellent convergence and can give very accurate results at a long time interval.
