Description
Summary:This paper presents an analysis of the vibrational behavior of a rotating viscoelastic sandwich pre-twisted beams with a setting angle and with various viscoelastic stiffness laws. The governing equations of motion are derived using the Lagrange formulation and the assumed modes method. The obtained nonlinear eigenvalue problems are solved by using an iterative nonlinear eigensolver leading to complex eigensolutions composed of damped frequencies and loss factors with high accuracy. Further, the effects of the rotating speed, pre-twist angle, thickness ratio of core layer on the dynamic characteristics are investigated with taking into account the dependence of Young modulus with respect to frequency. Different numerical tests on rotating pre-twisted beams are performed for both isotropic and sandwich materials with a constant then a variable core modulus and the obtained results coincide very well with those provided in literature.
