Abstract
This paper deals with the free transverse vibration characteristics of a rotating non-uniform nanocantilever with multiple open cracks. Employing Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and the Timoshenko beam theory, the non-dimensional governing differential equations for the above-mentioned problem are derived. The cracked beam is divided into intact sub-beams between two subsequent cracks connected by linear and rotational springs. Differential quadrature element method is utilized to solve the established governing equations of motion of each segment, along with the corresponding boundary conditions and compatibility conditions at the cracked sections. The frequency parameters and vibration modes of the rotating cracked beam for different crack positions and severities under various nonlocal, geometric and dynamic conditions are studied, and the relevant graphs are plotted. Since rotating nanocantilevers are found mostly as blades of rotating nanodevices, the results can provide useful guidance for the study and design of the next generations of nanoturbines, nanogears etc.
