Nonlocalized thermal behavior of rotating micromachined beams under dynamic and thermodynamic loads

Rotating micromachined beams are one of the most practical devices with several applications from power generation to aerospace industries. Moreover, recent advances in micromachining technology have led to huge interests in fabricating miniature turbines, gyroscopes and microsensors thanks to their high quality/reliability performances. To this end, this article is organized to examine the axial dynamic reaction of a rotating thermoelastic nanobeam under a constant-velocity moving load. Using Eringen's nonlocal elasticity in conjunction with Euler–Bernoulli theory and Hamilton's principle, the governing equations are derived. It is assumed that the nanobeam is affected by thermal load and the boundary condition is simply supported. The Laplace transform approach is employed to solve the partial differential equations. A numerical example is presented to analyze the effects of the nonlocal parameter, rotation speed and velocity of the static moving load on the dynamic behavior of the system. The numerical results are graphically illustrated and analyzed to recognize the variations of field variables. Finally, in some special cases, our results are compared to those reported in the literature to demonstrate the reliability of the current model.
