Abstract:
This study introduces a novel approach by combining finite simulation and an enhanced shear deformation theory to analyze the dynamic behavior of multi-layer composite nanobeams supported by an elastic foundation. The calculation formulae are derived from nonlocal theory in order to account for the impact of size effect. An intriguing aspect of this research is the presence of intricate curved profiles in the two material layers of the beam. The elastic foundation exhibits varying stiffness throughout the beam's length, accounting for many imperfections in the beam and including the drag parameter of the material. These elements contribute to the steady evolution of the issue model towards more realistic structures. Nevertheless, the computation gets intricate and impedes the precise approach. However, our work has successfully resolved this difficult and significant difficulty using the two-node element. This research demonstrates the temporal evolution of the dynamic reactions of the point with the greatest displacement and velocity, as dictated by the law of change. Simultaneously, it also presents visual representations of every point on the beam as it undergoes temporal variations. These conclusions possess both scientific and practical value, establishing a foundation for real-world implementations.
