Investigation on non-linear vibration in arched beam for bridges construction via AGM method
Introduction
According to rapid progress of nonlinear sciences, a heightening interest amongst researchers has been emerged in the field of analytical asymptotic techniques, particularly for nonlinear problems in the field of vibrations, such as Mechanical, Earthquake and Civil Engineering [1], [2]. Indeed, equations governing on the vibrational systems are highly nonlinear and there are not precise analytical solutions. It is noteworthy that numerical solutions rarely give intuitive insights into the effects of various parameters associated with problems. Therefore, in most of the situations, recent studies have been centered on the use of effective analytical methods in order to investigate these kinds of problems precisely. Consequently, many new techniques have been presented in open literature, for instance Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) [3], [4], Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) [5], [6], the Elliptic Lindstedt–Poincare method (LP) [7], [8], Adomian Decomposition Method [9], [10] and the Krylov Bogolioubov Mitropopolsky Method (KBM) [11]. Another analytical method called Differential Transformation Method or DTM [12]. Also, Variational Iteration Method (VIM) which was first proposed by He [13], [14] can be considered as a suitable approximation method. Moreover, VIM has successfully been applied to solve various engineering applications. For instance, the classical Blasius equation was solved by using VIM and also this method was utilized to give approximate solutions for some well-known non-linear problems [15]. After that He's Amplitude Frequency Formulation method [16], [17], which was first presented by Ji-Huan He, has been attracted much attention in last decade. In addition, Exp-function method can be applied in the field of vibration successfully like the research done by Ganji et al. [18], [19]. The response of arched beam bridges to dynamic loads is one of the most determining factors in the useful life of bridges. Various forms of dynamic loads on arched bridges are exerted according to their characteristics. Also its modified designing can help us to increase the chance of reliability and economical point of view. Dynamic of bridges is one of the most attractive subjects amongst engineers, for instance the response of bridge elements to the traffic load. Another issue facing researchers is the influence of harmonic loads or moving loads on the arched bridges. However, it is important to solve the nonlinear differential equations governing on the arched bridges in order to analyze the physical behavior of this kind of structures in spite of its complexity. In this paper, the nonlinear differential equation of an arched beam with a harmonic load in different modes of vibration and force transmission to the foundation of the system are investigated. Furthermore, the differential equation governing on this system has been solved analytically by AGM (Akbari-Ganji's Method) [20], [21], and 22]. On the basis of the obtained results by the afore-mentioned methods in different fields of study particularly in mechanical and civil engineering, it is necessary to mention that the above methods do not have this ability to gain the solution of the presented problem in high precision and accuracy, so nonlinear partial differential equations such as the presented problem in this case study should be solved by utilizing new approaches like AGM [23], [24].

Therefore, using AGM technique and Considering

2020, Construction and Building MaterialsCitation Excerpt :Compared to horizontal beams, arched beams divert a portion of the vertical load into horizontal force, vastly reducing the tensile stresses and bending moment. The carrying capacity of the structure (i.e., its shape-based resistance) is thereby improved due to structure optimization [42–44]. Spiderwebs, another example of structure optimization, are sophisticated natural structures that exhibit exceptional mechanical properties owing to their unique blend of geometry and mechanics resulting from their optimal distribution of structural mass [45].
