Sentaktik Köpük Eğri Kirişlerin Diferansiyel Quadrature Metodu ile Serbest Titreşim Analizi.

In this study, the free vibration analysis of syntactic foam curved beams with two simply supported ends was numerically investigated by the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). The displacement field was expressed according to classical beam theory, and motion equations were derived by Newton's laws of motion. For this purpose, a DQM code was developed using MATLAB, and the natural frequencies of structures were obtained to examine the effects of material parameters such as microballoon (MB) volume fractions, MB densities, as well as geometric parameters like curvature angle and curvature radius on the free vibration analysis of epoxy/glass microballoon-based syntactic foam curved beams. The results obtained from the research indicate that MB volume fractions, densities, and the geometric characteristics of curved beams significantly influence the vibration behavior of syntactic foam curved beams.
