Abstract

In this article, the vibration response of elastic nanocomposite beams with enhanced damping by nanoparticles is presented based on the mathematical model. Damp construction is considered by spring and damper elements based on the Kelvin model. Exponential shear deformation beam theory (ESDBT) has been used to model the structure. The mixed model model is used to obtain the effective properties of the structure including compaction effects. Using the energy method and Hamilton's principle, the equations of motion are calculated. The beam frequency is obtained by analytical method. The purpose of this work is to investigate the effect of volume percentage of nanoparticles and density, length and thickness of the beam on the frequency of the structure. The results show that the frequency increases with the increase in volume percentage of nanoparticles.
