Abstract
This paper presents a model for microbars with variable cross-sections using the Kelvin–Voigt model for viscoelastic material, accounting for size-dependent effects based on strain gradient theory. The size-dependent dynamic equations for the rod, which consider the variable cross-sectional area, are obtained through the extended Hamilton’s principle. These equations are then reduced in order using the Galerkin method and solved in the steady state using the harmonic response form and the algebra of complex numbers. To solve the equations from the transient state to the steady state, a combined method is implemented using the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative technique and the Newmark method. Furthermore, a model and analysis based on the finite element method are presented to validate the results. In the results section, various factors such as size-dependent effects, the order of the fractional derivative, the amount of the viscoelastic coefficient, and the shape of the section area are examined through the time history graph, frequency response, and maximum displacement in terms of force. The results demonstrate that the transient response converges to the stable response after a certain period of time. Moreover, it is observed that decreasing the order of the fractional derivative in the pre-resonance range leads to a decrease in response sensitivity, while in the resonance frequency range, the sensitivity increases with the increase in order.
