The dynamic equations of motion and associated boundary conditions based on the first order shear deformation are derived through the use of Hamilton s principle. The influences of shear deformation, rotary inertia, Poisson s ratio and fibre orientation are incorporated in the present formulation. The resulting governing fleural equations for symmetric composite Timoshenko beams are solved eactly and the closed form solutions for steady state fleural response are then obtained for cantilever and simply supported boundary conditions. The applicability of the analytical closed-form solution is demonstrated via several eamples with various transverse harmonic loads and symmetric cross-ply and angle-ply laminates. Results based on the present solution are assessed and validated against other well established finite element and eact solutions available in the literature.

INTRODUCTION Composite laminated beams are among the most important structural components widely used in aircraft wing and fuselage structures, helicopter blades, vehicle ales, Journal of Engineering Research (University of Tripoli, ibya) Issue (3) March

2 propellant and turbine blades, ship and marine structural frames due to their ecellent features such as high strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. In these applications, composite laminated beams are frequently subjected to cyclic dynamic loading (e.g., harmonic ecitations). Sources of such forces include aerodynamic effects, hydro-dynamic wave motion and wind loading. Also, harmonic forces may arise from unbalance in rotating machinery and propellants and reciprocating machines. In such applications, composite beams under harmonic forces cause an undesirable vibrations and prone to fatigue failures, an important limit state when designing these composite laminated beams. Under harmonic forces, the transient component of response which is induced only at the beginning of the ecitation tends to dampen out quickly and is thus of no importance in assessing the fatigue life of a composite beam. In contrast, the steady state component of the response is sustained for a long time and is thus of particular importance in fatigue design and is the subject of the present study. Within this contet, the aim of this study is to develop an accurate and efficient solution, which captures and isolates the steady state response. The present analytical closed form solution is also able to capture the quasi-static response and predict the eigen-frequencies and eigen-modes of the composite laminated beam. While the dynamic analysis of composite laminated beams based on different beam theories was the subject of significant research studies during the past few years, but most of these studies are restricted to free vibrations of composite laminated beams. Many researchers developed and presented the analytical eact solutions and finite element techniques for free vibration response of composite laminated beams. Among them, [1] developed an eact solution based on higher-order shear deformation theory to study the free vibration behavior of cross-ply rectangular beams with arbitrary boundary conditions. Based on the transfer matri method, [] investigated the in-plane and out-ofplane free vibration problem of symmetric cross-ply laminated beams. References [3-4] presented the eact epressions for the frequency equation and mode shapes for composite Timoshenko cantilever beams. His formulation captured the effects of material coupling between bending and torsional modes, shear deformation and rotary inertia. Reference [5] studies the free vibration of composite laminated beams using a higherorder shear deformation theory. The differential quadrature method is used to obtain the numerical solution of the governing differential equations for symmetrically and antisymmetrically composite beams with rectangular cross-section and for various boundary conditions. Reference [6] presented a displacement based layerwise beam theory and applied it to laminated (0 o /90 o ) and (0 o /90 o /0 o ) beams subjected to sinusoidal load. References [7-9] developed the eact dynamic stiffness matri method free vibration analyses of arbitrary laminated composite beams based on first order shear deformation, trigonometric shear deformation and higher-order shear deformation beam theories. The effects of shear deformation, rotary inertia, Poisson s ratio, aial force and etensionalbending coupling deformations are considered in their mathematical formulations. Recently, [10] developed a two-noded C1 finite beam element with five degrees of freedom per node to study the free vibration and buckling analyses of composite crossply laminated beams by using the refined shear deformation theory. Their formulations account for the parabolical variation of the shear strains through the beam depth and all coupling coming from the material anisotropy. More recently, [11] developed a finite element model based on the first order shear deformation theory to predict the static and free vibration analyses for isotropic and orthotropic beams with different boundary conditions and length-to-thickness ratios.

3 It should be remarked that the previous studies are mainly focused to free vibration analysis, with no attention on studying the dynamic analysis of composite laminated beams subjected to harmonic forces. To the best of author s knowledge, no study in the literature reported an analytical closed-form solution for dynamic fleural response of composite symmetric laminated Timoshenko beams under harmonic forces. Then, the purpose of this paper is to formulate the governing field equations and boundary conditions for the problem and provide the closed form eact solutions for symmetric laminated beams of rectangular cross-sections subjected to various transverse harmonic ecitations. The present analytical closed form solution captures the effects of shear deformation, rotary inertia, Poisson s ratio and fibre orientation on quasi-static and steady state dynamic responses. The present general analytical solution is (i) appropriate and efficient in analyzing the forced bending vibration of composite laminated beams subjected to transverse harmonic ecitations, (ii) suitable to achieve simple preliminary design considerations of composite beams and (iii) used as benchmarks for checking the accuracy of the results obtained from the numerical or approimate solutions. MATHEMATICA FORMUATION Kinematics Relations A prismatic multilayered beam with length, thickness h and width b, as shown in Figure (1), is considered. In the right-handed Cartesian coordinate system ( XYZ,, ) defined on the mid-plane of the beam, the X ais is coincident with the beam ais,y and Z are coincident with the principal aes of the cross-section. Since the cross-section of the composite beam has two aes of symmetry (i.e., Y and Z aes), therefore, no coupling eists between bending and torsion responses, i.e., the present study is restricted to fleural behavior in the X Z plane. Thus, the displacements for a general point p(,) z of height z from the centroidal ais of beam based on the first order shear deformation beam theory are assumed to take the form: u ( zt,,) = u( t,) + zφ ( t,) (1) p vp ( zt,,) = 0 () w ( zt,,) = w( t,) (3) p Z Z h p(,z) w z u p ϕ w p X Y (u p,w p ) p h β u (u,w) X b Figure 1: Coordinate system and displacements Journal of Engineering Research (University of Tripoli, ibya) Issue (3) March

4 in which u( t,) and w( t,) are the aial and transverse displacements of a point p(,) z on the mid-plane in the X and Z directions, vp (,z, t ) is the lateral displacement, and φ ( t,) is the rotation of the normal to the mid-plane abouty ais, where and t are spanwise coordinate and time, respectively. Strain-Displacement Relations The strain relations of the beam associated with the small-displacement theory of elasticity are given as: u ε ε κ p = + z, and γ z wp + φ where ε = u = u is the mid-plane aial strain, κ = φ = φ is the bending curvature, and the primes denote the differentiation with respect to. Constitutive Equations of Symmetric aminated Beams The constitutive equations for a symmetric laminated beam (in which the etensional-bending coupling coefficients B ij = 0 for ij=, 1,,6 ) based on the first order shear deformation theory can be obtained by using the classical lamination theory to give: N A A A ε N y A 1 A A6 0 ε yy Ny A16 A6 A66 γ y = M D11 D1 D 16 κ M y 0 D1 D D6 κ y M D y 16 D6 D 66 κ y where N, Nyare the normal forces, and Ny is the in-plane force, while M, M y and M y are the bending and twisting moments, ε (4) (5), ε yy and γ y are normal and shear strains, κ, κ y andκ y are the bending and twisting curvatures, Aij and D ij denote the etensional and bending stiffnesses, respectively, and are epressed as functions of laminate ply orientation and material properties: h ij ij h ij A, D = Q 1, z dz, (for i, j = 1,,6) (6) where Qij are the transformed reduced stiffnesses and are given by the epressions [1]: ( ) = 11cos β sin βcos β+ sin β 1 = sin cos + 1 sin 4 + cos 4 Q Q Q Q Q ( ) β β ( β β) Q Q Q Q Q 4 4 sin ( ) sin cos cos ( ) ( ) Q = Q β+ Q + Q β β+ Q β = Q Q Q Q sinβcos β Q Q Q sin βcosβ Journal of Engineering Research (University of Tripoli, ibya) Issue (3) March 017 0

The present formulation captures the effect of transverse shear deformation due to bending [10], then: w Q A A A w z = 55γz = 55 + φ = 55( + φ) in which Qz is the transverse shear force per unit length, 55 13cos β 3sin h 55 h 55 (7) A = k Q dz, where Q = G + G β, k is the correlation shear factor and is taken as 5/6 to account for the parabolic variation of the transverse shear stresses, the constants E11, E are Young moduli, G1, G13, G3 are shear moduli, and υ1, υ1 are Poison ratios measured in the principal aes of the layer. The laminated composite beam is subjected to fleural forces. Then, the lateral inplane forces and moments in Y direction are negligible and set to zero, i.e., Ny = Ny = My = My = 0. In order to account for Poisson s ratios, the mid-plane strains ε yy, γ y and curvatures κ y, κ y are assumed to be nonzero. For symmetric laminated beams, the etensional response is uncoupled from the fleural response of the beam, i.e., the bending stiffness coefficients B ij are ignored ( Bij = 0 for i= j= 1,,6 ), Thus, equation (5) is written as: N A 0 ε A 0 u = = M 0 D11 κ 0 D11 φ where D A ( A A ) + A ( A A ) = +, and ( A A A ) A A D ( D D ) + D ( D D ) = +. ( D D D ) D If Poisson s ratio effect is ignored, the coefficients A 11, D 11 in equation (8) are then replaced by the laminate stiffness coefficients A 11, D 11, respectively.

Steady State Displacement Functions Under the given applied harmonic forces and moments, the displacement functions corresponding to the steady state component of the response are assumed to take the form: [ ] iωt u(,t), w(,t), φ (,t) = U ( ), W ( ), Φ ( ) e (14) in which U( ), W( ) and Φ ( ) are the amplitudes for aial translation, bending displacement, related bending rotation, respectively. Since the present formulation is intended to capture only the steady state response of the system, the displacement fields postulated in equation (14) neglect the transient component of the response. HAMITON S VARIATIONA PRINCIPE The dynamic differential equations of motion for laminated composite beam subjected to harmonic forces can be derived using Hamilton s principle, which can be written as: t δ ( T U + V ) dt = 0, where δ u = δ w= δφ = 0 at t = t1and t t (15) 1 where t 1 and t are two arbitrary time variables and δ denotes the first variation. From equations (1-14) and by substituting into the energy epressions (9-11), then, the resulting equations are substituted into Hamilton s principle (15), performing integration by parts, the following governing equations of motion are obtained: 11 1 AU ( ) IΩ U ( ) = q( ) b (16) I Ω W( ) A W ( ) A Φ ( ) = q ( ) b (17) ( ) z A W ( ) D Φ ( ) + A I Ω Φ ( ) = m ( ) b (18) The related boundary conditions arising from the variational principle are: 11 δ [ ( ) ( )] ( ) ( ) δ 0 z 0 11Φ ( ) δφ ( ) = ( ) 0 0 ba U ( ) U( ) = P ( ) (19) ba W +Φ W = P (0) bd M (1) Equation (16) governs the longitudinal deformation of the symmetric laminated composite beam which is uncoupled with the remaining equations and can be solved independently.

ANAYTICA COSED-FORM SOUTION FOR FEXURA RESPONSE Homogeneous Solution The homogeneous solution of the fleural equations (17-18) is obtained by setting the right-hand side of the equations to zero, i.e. qz( ) = m( ) = 0. The homogeneous solution of the displacements is then assumed to take the eponential form: { χ ( )} h ( ) ( ) W c = = e, for i= 1,,3,4 1 Φ h 1, i m i h c 1, i 1 where χ ( ) W ( ) ( ) h 1 h h 1 and 1 1, i, i 1 () = Φ is the vector of fleural displacement and rotation, C = c c is the vector of unknown integration constants.

11 Ω 0.01ω1 compared to the first fleural natural frequency 1 ω of the system. To validate the accuracy and applicability of the present analytical solution, three eamples are presented for cantilever and simply-supported composite beams with symmetrical crossply and angle-ply laminates. The results based on the present formulation are compared with available eact solutions in the literature and established Abaqus finite shell element. In Abaqus shell model, the shell S4R element has si degrees of freedom at each node (i.e., three translations and three rotations). The S4R shell element captures the transverse shear deformation and distortional effects. Eample 1 - Symmetric aminated Beam under Distributed Transverse Harmonic Force This eample is presented in order to demonstrate the accuracy and validity of the present analytical solution to capture the quasi-static and to predict the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the composite symmetric laminated beams under transverse harmonic forces. The quasi-static response of the composite beam under harmonic forces is captured by using very low eciting frequency ( Ω 0.01ω1 ) compared to the first natural frequency ω 1 of the system. For comparison, three-layered symmetric cross-ply o o o (0,90,0) laminated composite beams for both clamped-free and simply supported boundary conditions under a uniformly distributed transverse harmonic force iωt q (, t) = 00 e N/ mare considered. z Quasi-static Response Validation For static response, the three laminates have the same thickness and made of the orthotropic composite material properties: E11= 5E, G1 = G13 = 0.5E, G3 = 0.E, 3 υ 1 = 0.5 and ρ = 1350 kg / m. For the comparison purpose, the transverse displacement function W for symmetric cross-ply laminated beam based on the present analytical solution are given in the following non-dimensional form [10] as: 3 4 W = 100bh EW qz and are compared with eact static solutions given by [10, 13] and [14]. Table (1) provides the non-dimensional mid-span transverse displacements W( = /) for clamped and simply supported symmetric composite beams under distributed transverse forces for different span-to height ratio of (/h)= 5,10,0 and 50. It is noted that the results obtained by the present formulation are in ecellent agreement with results based on other eact solutions.

It is noted that the results predicted by the present analytical solution are in ecellent agreement with the corresponding results obtained from the eact solution of [1] and finite element solutions of [10] and [15]. Eample - Simply-Supported Beam under Distributed Harmonic Transverse Force A 6000mm span simply-supported composite beam having four-layered symmetric o o o o angle-ply (0, + 45, + 45,0 ) laminates subjected to uniformly distributed transverse iωt harmonic force qz (, t) = 4.0 e kn / m is considered as shown in Figure (5).

It is required to (a) conduct a quasi-static analysis by using very low eciting frequency Ω 0.01ω 1 related to the first natural frequency, (b) determine the steady state response at eciting frequency Ω= 1.68ω1, where the first natural frequency for the beam is Journal of Engineering Research (University of Tripoli, ibya) Issue (3) March 017 8

14 Figure (6a-b) and Figure (6c-d) show transverse displacement W( ) and bending rotation Φ ( ) along the beam span for quasi-static and steady state responses, respectively. The results given in tabular (Table 1) and graphical forms show an ecellent agreement between the predictions of the bending response results based on the present solution and the results of Abaqus shell model. Figure 6: Quasi-static and steady state responses for simply-supported symmetric (00 oo, oo, oo, 00 oo ) laminated beam Effect of Fiber Orientation on Composite Beam Deformations The effects of fiber orientation on the static and steady state dynamic bending responses of simply-supported symmetric composite beams under distributed transverse harmonic force are considered. The analyses are performed for quasi-static at Ω 0.01ω1 = Hz and steady state dynamic response at eciting frequency Ω = 1.3ω = 40.0 Hz for composite beam having four-layered symmetrically o 1 o (0 / + β/ + β/0 ) angle-ply laminates in which the outer layers are kept at 0 o while the fiber angle β of the inner layers are increased ranging from β = 0 o to90 o in increments of 15 o. Table (4) provides the maimum transverse displacement at the mid-span of simply o supported symmetric (0 / + β ) s angle-ply laminated beam for static and steady state responses. As a general observation, the present analytical solution yields results in very good agreements with the corresponding results given by Abaqus shell model solution. The % difference between the two solutions (given in the last column of Table 4) are arising from the discretization errors commonly used in the Abaqus finite elements. It is noted that, as the fiber angle β increases, the maimum transverse deflections are increased for static response and decreased for the case of steady state dynamic response. It can be remarked that the laminate lay-up and stacking sequence plays the most significant role in determining the dynamic response of the composite symmetric laminated beams.

17 CONCUSION From the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that: Based on the first order shear deformation theory, the dynamic equations of motion for fleural vibration and related boundary conditions for composite symmetric laminated beams subjected to various transverse harmonic forces are derived via Hamilton s variational principle. Eact epressions for closed-form solutions of bending equations are obtained for cantilever and simply supported symmetric composite beams. The present analytical solutions are efficient in capturing the quasi-static and steady state dynamic responses of composite symmetric cross-ply and angle-ply laminated beams under different transverse harmonic forces. It is also capable of etracting the natural frequencies and steady state bending modes. Comparisons with established Abaqus finite element shell solution and eact solutions available in the literature demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the present analytical solution.
