The developed formulation takes into consideration the effect of the transverse shear deformation. During the manufacturing process, faults, such as the presence of micro voids or porosities in FGMs, structural imperfections may arise in the material. For this purpose, this research has focused on the modification of the mixture rules including the porosity volume fraction. To illustrate the porosity variation throughout the body of the structures, the uniform, nonuniform and mass-density porosity distribution are considered in the present examination. Mathematical approach is used to simplify the FG beam governing equation based on classical beam theory (CBT) and new-FSDBT frame works for free vibration. The resultant equations of motion are solved using the Navier’s technique, for simply supported FG beams. To validate the results, a parameter study was presented to analyze the impact of the types of volume fraction (FG beam-type), the effects of porosity distribution, material exponent parameter, slenderness ratio, and porosity index on the dynamic behavior of imperfect FG beams.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"235 10","pages":"6287 - 6304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944363","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}

Finally, numerical simulation and experiment show that the relative error of the shape sensing with fiber-optic is less than 5%, and the shape accuracy of radial rib after control is improved by more than 90% to reach submillimeter level, which verifies the effectiveness of the radial rib shape active control method based on FOSS.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":456,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica","volume":"235 10","pages":"6225 - 6248"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141944411","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}

Concretely, the geometrical model constitutes two unlike non-homogeneous nearly incompressible elastic materials forming a combination of stratum and substrate, which in turn involve imperfectness at the interface and non-planar boundaries (NPBs). With aid of applicable mathematical techniques, the expressions of displacement components (DCs) of LTW have been determined for both planar boundaries (PBs) and NPBs with imperfect interface. As a special case of the study, the expressions of DCs of LTW have also been deduced for both PBs and NPBs with sliding interface. Further, as an offshoot of the current study, dispersion relations (DRs) of LTW propagating in non-homogeneous and homogeneous nearly incompressible as well as isotropic elastic structures having imperfect, perfect and sliding interfaces have been established and validated with the results present in the literature. For graphical delineation, numerical computation of the DCs and phase velocity (PV) of LTW has been performed. The influences of non-homogeneity parameters, curvature parameters, interfacial parameter and wave number on DCs and PV of LTW have been figured out. It has been revealed that the presence of non-homogeneity in structure has substantial effect on the DCs and PV of LTW.
