Nonlinear vibration of Timoshenko beam due to moving loads including the effects of weight and longitudinal inertia of beam

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of weight and axial inertia of a beam were taken into account for studying the nonlinear vibration of the Timoshenko beam due to external loads, and the combination of Galerkins method and Runge-Kutta method was employed to obtain the dynamic responses of the beam.

A unified Fourier spectral method for nonlinear free vibration analysis of the laminated composite and sandwich beams with arbitrary restrained ends

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the boundary condition on the vibration properties of the laminated composite and sandwich (LC-S) beams was investigated using a modified Fourier spectral method, which is capable of dealing with arbitrary boundary conditions without need to satisfy them in advance.

A new approach to the analysis of large deflections of plates

TL;DR: In this article, simplified equations for the deflection of uniformly loaded circular and rectangular plates with various boundary conditions are derived and compared with available numerical solutions of the exact equations, and the deflections found by this approach are then used to obtain the stresses, and resulting stresses are compared with existing solutions.
