Flexural-Torsional Coupled Vibration of Rotating Beams Using Orthogonal Polynomials
Dynamic behavior of flexural-torsional coupled vibration of rotating beams using the Rayleigh-Ritz method with orthogonal polynomials as basis functions is studied. The present work starts from a review of the development and analysis of four basic types of beam theories: the Euler-Bernoulli, …

Structural Scaling Metrics For Tensioned-Blanket Space Systems
… an ideal solar array structure is a system of coupled beam and tensioned blanket components rather than the typical simplifying approach of considering only one beam with a distributed mass as the blanket. A fundamental frequency relation is developed to represent a beam-cable system in a …

Hydrodynamically Coupled Shape-Morphing Beams Oscillating in a Viscous Fluid
… interaction (FSI) of a pair of hydrodynamically coupled parallel beams immersed in a quiescent, incompressible, viscous, Newtonian fluid. The beams have two concurrent motions: a rigid oscillation in the vertical direction and a harmonic shape-morphing deformation to an arc of a circle. We …

Development and validation of thermo-mechanically coupled finite elements for the simulation of the nonlinear time response of multi-layered shape memory alloy beams
… simulation of the transient, thermo-mechanically coupled and non-linear behavior of shape memory alloys (SMA)s. Therefore, the work focuses in two scientific fields: 1) the development of an improved constitutive model describing the SMA behavior and 2) the development of nonlinear …
