The system is made up of two parallel prismatic thick beams connected constantly by a layer of viscoelastic material. The governing equations describing the motion of this double-beam when under the actions of a moving load is a set of two fourth order non homogeneous partial differential equations with singular and variable coefficients. To solve this coupled partial differential equations, a versatile method of solution capable of treating this class of problem for all variants of boundary conditions is employed. This involves the application of the Generalized Fourier Sine Transform Method (GFSTM), in conjunction with a modified Asymptotic Method of Struble (AMS) and the Differential Transform Method (DTM). The GFSTM was employed in the first instance to transform the set of partial differential equations of order four governing the motions of the structural members into a sequence of coupled second order ordinary differential equations. The transformed coupled ordinary differential equations was further simplified using AMS. The differential transform method was finally applied to obtain a mathematical expressions representing the coordinates in modal space. Thus, an approximate analytical solutions representing the displacement amplitude of the double-beam system under the action of the traversing load was obtained for the moving force and moving mass models respectively. Analysis of the approximate analytical solutions was presented. Various results were discussed and displayed in plotted curves. Effects of some vital load and structural parameters on the response characteristics of the beam-load system were examined and presented.

Unlike previous studies that exclusively employed the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and neglected rotary inertia, this work is the first to incorporate the rotary inertia term within the stress-driven nonlocal framework, providing a more accurate and comprehensive analysis of nanoscale beam dynamics. The equilibrium equations are derived using a variational approach and solved analytically via the Laplace transform technique, yielding closed-form expressions for the natural frequencies of nanobeams under various boundary conditions, including simply supported, clamped, and cantilevered configurations. The results demonstrate that nonlocal stress effects significantly increase the natural frequencies, particularly in higher vibrational modes, where sensitivity to size-dependent interactions is most pronounced. These findings highlight the inadequacy of classical elasticity models and the necessity of accounting for nonlocal and rotary inertia in dynamic analyses. The proposed model shows excellent agreement with existing literature, validating its robustness and offering valuable insights for designing and optimizing nanoscale devices such as MEMS, NEMS, and nanocomposites. This study sets a new benchmark in nonlocal elasticity by addressing rotary inertia, paving the way for more refined studies of nanoscale dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":93433,"journal":{"name":"Forces in mechanics","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100299"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143129660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For modeling the mechanical and thermal interactions between surfaces, the VUINTERACTION subroutine was utilized. The study focused on the defect formation mechanisms during USSFSW, highlighting the roles of material flow velocity and nodal forces.

Conversely, increasing the nodal force enhanced both backward flow (BF) and horizontal flow (HF), promoting higher material extrusion into the cavity.
