A viscoelastic Timoshenko beam: Model development, analysis, and investigation
Abstract
Vibrations are ubiquitous in mechanical or biological systems, and they are ruinous in numerous circumstances. We develop a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam model, which naturally captures distinctive power-law responses arising from a broad distribution of time-scales presented in the complex internal structures of viscoelastic materials and so provides a very competitive description of the mechanical responses of viscoelastic beams, thick beams, and beams subject to high-frequency excitations. We, then, prove the well-posedness and regularity of the viscoelastic Timoshenko beam model. We finally investigate the performance of the model, in comparison with the widely used Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam models, which shows the utility of the new model.
