This study aims to establish a new theoretical model for predicting the TED of cylindrical shells at micro/nanoscale considering size-dependent effect. The surface effect and the dual-phase-lags heat conduction model are included in the motion equation. The motion equation under transverse deflection-dominated vibration was simplified based on the Donnell–Mushtari–Vlasov approximation method. Applying the Galerkin method the nonclassical resonant frequency has been derived by combining the compatibility equations and motion equation. The analytical solutions for TED of cylindrical shells under classical boundary conditions were derived using the complex frequency method. The correctness of the theoretical derivations and numerical results has been validated through numerical comparison method. The numerical results indicate that both size-dependent surface effect and thermal conductivity effect are crucial to the TED of cylindrical shells. Specifically, surface effect contributes to reducing the thermoelastic dissipation and enhancing the Q-factor of micro/nano cylindrical shells. This conclusion is contrary to the TED predictions for cylindrical shells based on nonlocal elasticity theory. Moreover, the impacts of other key factors on the frequency attenuation, frequency shift, and TED of cylindrical shells were discussed.

This type of MEMS has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to its enhanced sensitivity, particularly in healthcare systems. Although the literature successfully develops experimental analysis, it lacks a comprehensive mathematical model to predict behavior, as well as necessary analysis. This paper presents a model that focuses on the response of a half-sine shock. The capacitor gap has been filled with a micro-pillar array made of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as a microstructured layer. Three sets of coupled nonlinear differential equations have been obtained to govern the transverse vibrations of the beam, and the axial and bending vibrations of the pillars. PDMS has been assumed to follow the Kelvin–Voigt model, along with the nonlinear strain. A comparison was made between the air and PDMS gap systems, revealing that the former experiences a response amplitude several times smaller than the latter due to the added stiffness of the pillars in the absence of an electrostatic field. Nevertheless, when the electrostatically actuated beam is subjected to shock, the opposite results may be observed. This is due to the opposing effects of the added stiffness of the pillars and the gap’s higher permittivity. The results demonstrate that the provided model is capable of accurately predicting the response of the microstructured-gap capacitor to mechanical shocks and other external stimuli.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"235 12","pages":"7751 - 7764"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142737208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The unit is modeled as a two-part spring-like system where each part is with individual stiffness. To overcome the problem of analyzing of each of parts separately, the equivalent spring is suggested to be introduced. In the paper, a method for obtaining the equivalent elastic force of the unit is developed. The method is the generalization of the procedure suggested for substitution of a hard and a soft spring in series with an equivalent one. The nonlinearity of original springs is of quadratic order. As a results, it is obtained that the equivalent elastic force for two equal springs remains of the same type as of the original springs (soft or hard). For two opposite type springs in series with equal coefficients, the equivalent force is soft. The method is applicable for any hard and soft nonlinear springs or spring-like systems. Thus the hexagonal auxetic unit which contains a soft and a hard part in series is analyzed. In the paper, a new analytic method for determination of the frequency of vibration for the unit under action of a constant compression force acting along the unit axis is introduced. The method is applied for units which contain two parts: hard–hard, soft–soft, hard–linear, soft–linear and opposite. The obtained approximate vibration results are compared with numerically obtained ones and show good agreement. The advantage of the method is its simplicity as it does not require the nonlinear equation of motion to be solved.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"235 12","pages":"7733 - 7749"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00707-024-04055-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142736913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
