Abstract
Structures face different types of imperfections and defects during the fabrication process, installation and working environment. In this paper, the imperfection effects in the coupled vibration behaviour of axially functionally graded carbon nanotube (CNT)-strengthened beam structures with different boundary conditions are analysed considering porosity as well as geometric and mass imperfections in the structure. Porosity is modelled using different types of formulations for simple-cell, open-cell and closed-cell porous structures. The porosity is assumed to be either uniform or by varying through the thickness of the hollow beam using different functions. Mass imperfection effect is added to the system by considering a concentrated mass in the system affecting the mass homogeneity of the structure. Geometry imperfection is also considered by having an initial deformation in the structure which could be caused by an improper fabrication process. Coupled axial and transverse equations of motion are obtained using Hamilton’s principle and the von Kármán geometrical nonlinearity. Governing equations are solved for different types of boundary conditions using a semi-analytical modal decomposition technique. It is shown that strengthening the base matrix with CNT fibres can improve the vibration behaviour of imperfect structures and the influence of CNT volume fraction and distribution through the length of the beam is discussed. The results provided in this paper may be used as a benchmark to validate future experimental results to prevent imperfection, delamination and stress singularities in the structures.

1 Introduction
Imperfections in mechanical structures are among the main reasons of inaccuracy in predicting the mechanical behaviour which can lead to high errors and failure of the whole system. Some of the common imperfections which structures face are porosity, mass imperfection, and geometrical imperfection.
Porosity can be caused by many reasons such as welding and fabrication procedure [1,2,3] which in some cases is desirable and in some unpleasant. Porosity imperfections are mainly seen when the structures are multi-phase and are manufactured using different elements. Functionally graded (FG) structures are one of the well-known structures, the physical properties of which are varied functionally from a phase to another to obtain advantages of both phases [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]; for instance, grading from metal to ceramic to have the strength, deformability of metal and heat resistance of ceramic and different positions of the structure. However, mixing two or more elements in FG structures can cause porosity in the structure which may change the mechanical behaviour of the structure significantly.
In the past few years, porosity in beam structures and their influence on changing the mechanical behaviour of such structures have attracted a lot of attention. For structures resting on a foundation, Jena et al. [12] studied the vibration behaviour of FG porous beams resting on an elastic foundation. The phase change from ceramic to metal was assumed to be through the thickness direction with uniform porosity. A higher-order beam theory was used to model the structure which was solved via the Navier and Rayleigh–Ritz methods; it was shown that the presence of porosity affects the frequency response differently for ceramic and metal phases. Other studies on beams/plates with different types of porosity can be found in Refs. [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25], where it was highlighted that the static deformation, buckling and vibration behaviour of structures are significantly impacted by porosities.
For multi-layered FG porous structures, Akbaş et al. [26] examined the dynamic response under pulse loads. Three different types of porosity models (uniform and two symmetric models) were analysed and the FEM results were compared with those of ANSYS; it was shown that porosity in the system leads to softening behaviour and increases the steady-state response of the beam model. Alambeigi et al. [27] investigated the free and forced vibration responses of layered FG beams with the porous core using uniform, symmetric and asymmetric porosities; it was highlighted that higher stiffness was obtained using the symmetric porosity model compare to asymmetric and uniform models. Other studies on the mechanics of layered/sandwich [28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35] FG/porous [36,37,38,39,40] structures (beams, plates and shells) with/without thermal loads [41,42,43,44,45,46,46] can be found in literature where it was discussed that increasing the number of layers, properly grading the properties, considering thermal load and porosity, vary the mechanical behaviour of the structure which depending on the characteristics of the structure, these effects vary.
Bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) beam models with porosity have been examined by Shafiei et al. [47] for small-scale beams. Porosity was assumed to be either uniform or linear-symmetrical variation through the thickness; it was found that the natural frequency terms of the symmetric porous BDFG beam model are larger than those of perfect beam models.
Besides, strengthening base structures with fibres is a method to overcome the weak properties of the base structures along with preventing crack and delamination in the structures. A detailed discussion on CNT-strengthened structures can be found in Ref. [48]; porosity is an unpleasant phenomenon in structures which adding CNT fibres can reduce the pore sizes [49, 50] and cause the porosity by itself as well [51].
Geometrical imperfections can occur in a structure during the fabrication process especially when the structure is made of more than one element (FG structures, layered structures and matrix/fibre structures). In the past few years, researchers have analysed the influence of geometrical imperfections on the vibration response of beam structures [52,53,54,55,56,57,58].
However, there is a gap in analysing the porosity as well as geometric and mass imperfection effects on axially functionally graded CNT-strengthened structures in the framework of coupled vibrations. In this study, a comprehensive model for considering different types of imperfection on AFG CNT-strengthened beams is presented for the first time by varying porosity through the thickness and CNT fibre volume fraction through the length for different boundary conditions (Fig. 1 presents a schematic of the current problem). Geometrical imperfection is considered along with mass imperfection and the advantage of having CNT fibres in overcoming the imperfection in the structure is discussed in detail. Accordingly, this paper is structured as follows: in Sect. 1, an introduction on imperfections and defects in structures is presented by briefly discussing porous beam models in the literature. Section 2 presents a general formulation for imperfect AFG CNT-strengthened beams by presenting five different models of porous variation for simple-, open- and closed-cell structure models. Coupled axial and transverse motion equations are obtained for mass/geometrical imperfect CNT-strengthened structures considering CNT volume fraction variation through the length. Figure 2 shows a schematic of the current problem for different types of boundary conditions. In Sect. 3, coupled equations of motion are transformed to non-dimensional forms and a decomposition technique is presented for solving the equations of motion. In Sect. 4, the current formulation and solution procedure are first verified using an FE simulation software for simplified models and the fast convergence of the method for complicated models is shown for different boundary conditions. After verifying the accuracy of the current methodology, the influence of different types of imperfections on varying both axial and transverse vibration behaviour is discussed in details and the possibility of strengthening the structure and decreasing the defects using CNT fibres and its distribution is discussed. Finally, in Sect. 5, the outcome of this paper is listed and future possible work is discussed. Previously, in Ref. [59], AFG CNT-strengthened beam model was presented and discussed for only transverse vibrations; beam was modelled without any geometrical/mass imperfection and porosity. The equation of motion was solved for transverse vibration only using generalised differential quadrature method (GDQM) and results for CNT distribution were presented. However, in this study, the vibrations is coupled axially and transversely in the presence of porosity, mass and geometric imperfections, a modal decomposition technique is presented and employed to solve the coupled equations of motion and both coupled axial/transverse vibrations are obtained by considering different types of geometry/mass imperfections, boundary conditions and porosities.
2 Problem formulation
2.1 CNT strengthening and porosity of the beam
Different models for porosity have been presented by researchers in the past few years. One of the well-known formulations for modelling porosity in multi-phase structures was presented as [60]
where α is the porosity coefficient term which could vary through any xi axis following any arbitrary function, subscripts 1 and 2 show different phases of the structure, and E and ρ are the Young’s modulus and mass density of the structures and V indicates the volume fraction.
Another model used indicates that the magnitude of E and ρ vary differently by having [61]
The main problem with the first model formulation [Eqs. (1) and (2)] is that porosity effect is considered independent from the volume fraction of phases; for instance, if the volume fraction of V1 is zero, still the effect of porosity in phase 1 part of the structure is considered. In the second model [Eqs. (3) and (4)], the porosity in presented for only one base structure which is useful for isotropic one-phase structures.
Therefore, in this paper, a modified model for AFG CNT-strengthened porous structures is presented by assuming the porosity effects as a function of the volume fraction of each part varying through the thickness direction (z) as
where e1 is the effective coefficient [59], αi can take the forms of,
through any xi axis in the general form which in this paper, the porosity is assumed to be through the thickness of the beam (xi = z). The relation between α10 and α20 is presented for simplified models [60], open-cell solids [61,62,63] and closed-cell solids [64, 65] as:
Moreover, the distribution of CNT fibre is assumed to vary through the length following a power-law function; therefore, the volume fraction of the base element (m) and the CNT fibres is [59, 66]
where k is the power term, and subscripts L and R indicate the left and right sides of the beam, respectively.
2.2 Geometric and mass imperfect CNT-strengthened porous beam model
By considering the geometrical imperfection of the structure, the strain–deformation and stress–strain behaviour can be modelled using the von Kármán geometrical nonlinearity as
where u and w are the axial and transverse displacements and w0 is the geometrical imperfection of the beam. For the given assumptions, the kinetic (K) and potential (U) energy terms are
where x0 is the axial location of the lumped mass M as the representation of mass imperfection, δ is the Dirac delta function and A is the area cross section of the beam (it is assumed that the area cross section is not a function of x). Using Hamilton’s principle [67, 68], one can reach the coupled axial–transverse equations of motion as
where I0, I1 and I2 are the area moments of inertia about the z axis and A11, B11 and D11 are the stiffness terms defined as,
where b is the width of the beam which is assumed to be constant.
3 Solution procedure
To solve the coupled motion equations, since the scale of defined terms are considerably different, non-dimensional terms are defined as
By assuming small deformations in the system, higher-order deformation terms are neglected and the non-dimensional equations of motion are rewritten as
in which * is dropped in Eqs. (25) and (26) for the sake of convenience. It can be seen from Eqs. (25) and (26) that the linearized non-dimensional equations of motion are coupled due to the geometry imperfection terms and porosity through the thickness. Using a modal decomposition, the deformations in the system can be presented in a series function as,
and the governing coupled equations of motion can be discretised. Besides, by assuming harmonic response in the system and imperfection as a scale (A0) of the first mode of vibration, axial and transverse natural frequency terms are obtained via a modal decomposition method [69, 70] where the matrix coefficients Kij and Mij are defined as,
By solving the discretised non-dimesnional coupled equations of motion, the vibration response of the system can be obtained.
4 Results and discussion
A general formulation for AFG CNT-strengthened beams with different kinds of porosity, geometric and mass imperfections was formulated in the previous section. In this section, the results for the axial and transverse frequencies are obtained and presented via formulations of the previous section and the sensitivity of the system to different types of mass/geometric imperfections and porosities is discussed. Moreover, for simpler models where there is no geometric and porous imperfections, the accuracy and convergence of the current methodology are verified using FE modelling and the influence of different types of imperfection on the vibration response of the non-porous system is discussed. Simplified model of the problem is simulated as homogeneous or AFG CNT-strengthened non-porous geometrically perfect beams with a mass imperfection using ANSYS [71] and comparison with the current methodology is presented in the next subsection for different types of boundary conditions.
4.1 Verification and comparison
For the sake of verification, homogeneous and AFG CNT-strengthened non-porous geometrically perfect beams with a concentrated mass in a certain distance from the left end of the beam is simulated using ANSYS [71] and the results are compared with those based on the current methodology. By having geometrical properties as L = 3 m, h = 0.1 m, b = 0.2 m, and physical properties as ρm = 1190 kg/m3, ρCNT = 1400 kg/m3, Em = 2.5 GPa, ECNT = 5646.6 GPa, e1 = 0.14, ν = 0.3, results for the first three fundamental natural frequency terms are presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3 for isotropic beams and are compared to those obtained by ANSYS for clamped–clamped, pinned–pinned and clamped–pinned boundary conditions, respectively, for simpler models where there is no geometric and porous imperfections. Besides, by assuming AFG CNT fibre distribution through the base matrix by having VCNT,total = 5% and VCNT, left = 2.5%, the first three natural frequency terms are calculated and compared with ANSYS. Tables 4, 5 and 6 show the first two frequency terms for axial and transverse dynamics of the mentioned AFG CNT-strengthened non-porous geometrically perfect beam with mass imperfection in different positions for clamped–clamped, pinned–pinned and clamped–pinned boundary conditions, respectively. It can be seen that the results are in a good agreement for all the boundary conditions for both homogeneous and AFG CNT-strengthened beam models.
Moreover, to show the convergence of the current solution method, fundamental frequencies for different boundary conditions and the total number of modes are calculated. The frequency results are shown in Fig. 3a, b for fundamental transverse and axial frequencies, respectively, with VCNT,total = 5%, VCNT,left = 2.5%, k = 1, A0 = 0.5, α10 = 0.4 (uniform open cell model), M = 10 kg, x0 = 0.3, L = 1 m, h = 0.1 m; it can be seen that increasing the total number of modes leads to convergence in the results for all the boundary conditions and therefore, for the further calculations, ten modes for the coupled dynamics are considered.
4.2 Influence of porosity imperfection
After verifying the current methodology, the influence of porosity imperfection on the coupled vibration behaviour of AFG CNT-strengthened beams is presented in this section. A beam with the length of 2 m, thickness 10 cm is assumed with a concentrated mass of 15 kg at x0 = 0.4. The beam is strengthened using CNT fibres by having VCNT,total = 5% and VCNT,left = 1% and k = 1 and other properties are as mentioned in the previous section. For this model, porosity is presented uniformly through the thickness (α1 = α10) for simplified models, open-cell models and closed-cell models. Fundamental natural frequency terms for transverse dynamics are presented in Fig. 4a–c for clamped–pinned, pinned–pinned and clamped–clamped boundary conditions, respectively, and for axial vibrations in Fig. 5a–c. It can be seen that increasing the uniform porosity leads to lower fundamental axial and transverse vibration frequencies and simple-cell model gives higher-frequency terms for all the porosity models and boundary conditions.
Similarly, for linear and parabolic variation of porosity through the beam thickness, the axial and transverse fundamental frequency parameters are shown in Figs. 6 and 7, respectively. It can be seen that changing the porosity from uniform to linear and parabolic models, the same trend of stiffness softening behaviour is observed.
By comparing the fundamental frequency terms for axial and transverse vibrations in Fig. 8a–d, it can be seen that for the simple-cell model, changing the porosity model from uniform to linear and parabolic, the fundamental frequency terms increase for both the cell models.
4.3 Influence of mass imperfection
In studying the influence of mass imperfection, the position and the mass weight play the dominant role. Accordingly, the previous beam model is considered for closed-cell porosity model and different boundary conditions. Figures 9 and 10 show the variation of the fundamental natural frequency terms for the first three vibration modes of linear and symmetric pinned–pinned porous models, respectively. Similarly, results for clamped–pinned and clamped–clamped beam models are presented in Figs. 11, 12 and 13. It can be seen that the first mode of vibration is highly sensitive to mass imperfection around the middle of the beam, while the second mode is more sensitive to mass around a quarter length.
To have a better understanding of the influence of porous imperfection on the mass sensing of the structure, Fig. 14 shows the variation of the fundamental frequency terms for different mass and position which shows that symmetric porous model shows more sensitivity to mass imperfection and this sensitivity becomes close to linear porous model by increasing the mass of the imperfection.
4.4 Influence of geometrical imperfection
Geometry imperfection plays a dominant role in varying the fundamental frequency terms of multiphase structures. Accordingly, in this subsection, the influence of considering the geometrical imperfection in obtaining vibration response is discussed. The beam is assumed with the length of 2 m, thickness of 10 cm and width of 20 cm. The total volume fraction of the CNT is varied from 0 to 5% and its volume fraction on the left side is assumed to be 0.3 of the CNT volume fraction varying through the beam with k = 2. Porosity is varied using the nonsymmetric function presented in Eq. (11) with α0 = 0.3. Mass imperfection in the system is considered by having x0 = 0.3L and m0 = 10 kg. Figures 15, 16 and 17 show the variation of the first two fundamental frequency terms for different boundary conditions by varying the geometric imperfection and CNT volume fractions. It is seen that for all the three boundary conditions, the first natural frequency term is significantly sensitive to imperfection and this sensitivity slightly increase by increasing the CNT volume fraction. The second frequency mode is less affected by the imperfection in the beam for all the boundary condition models.
4.5 Influence of CNT distribution
In this section, the role of adding CNT fibres and its distribution model in strengthening the system is discussed. By varying the CNT volume fraction through the length of the beam following
where Vt = 0.05 and k and R as the varying terms, the CNT distribution is as shown in Fig. 18. For this type of fibre distribution through the length, the fundamental frequency terms are obtained and presented in Fig. 19a–c for pinned–pinned, clamped–pinned and clamped–clamped models. It can be seen that increasing the CNT fibres has a significant effect in stiffening the structure. While for clamped–pinned and clamped–clamped beam models, the varying term R has higher effect in varying the frequency term; however, for the pinned–pinned model, both k and R terms show almost the same importance in varying the frequency parameter.
5 Conclusions
A general formulation for modelling different types of imperfections (porosity, mass and geometric) in strengthened beam structures with different boundary conditions was presented in this study and the coupled vibration response of the system due to imperfections was investigated. Porosity was modelled using simple-cell, open-cell and closed-cell porosity models which are assumed to be uniform through the thickness of the beam or vary using linear, parabolic, symmetric and un-symmetric functions. Mass imperfection and geometry imperfection were modelled using a concentrated attached mass and initial deformation in the system. Coupled equations of motion were obtained and solved for pinned–pinned, clamped–clamped and clamped–pinned imperfect CNT-strengthened beams using Hamilton’s principle and a modal decomposition technique, respectively. The current methodology is verified using FE simulation for simplified models and novel results for complicated models were presented. It was shown that:
-
The porosity imperfection in the system can cause a significant effect in decreasing the natural frequency terms especially in lower modes of vibration. This effect is higher for transverse vibration compared to axial vibration response.
-
It is shown that open-cell and closed-cell models give almost the same results in both trend and magnitude. However, the simple model has higher-frequency results for both the axial and transverse vibrations.
-
Influence of mass imperfection is presented for different types of boundary conditions. It is shown that symmetric porous AFG imperfect CNT-strengthened model is more sensitive to mass imperfection in the system compared to linear porous models, especially for lower mass magnitudes.
-
Even small imperfection can make a considerable increase in the fundamental transverse vibration response of the system; while for the axial vibration, this effect is less.
-
Varying the distribution of fibres through the length can impact the imperfection effect on the system; for the studied cases, it was shown that by increasing the CNT volume fraction, the fundamental vibration frequency increases following the given distribution of fibres.
Overall, since results and discussions in this study are presented for the first time, the outcome could be used as a benchmark for further theoretical and experimental studies. Optimisation methods can also be used for further investigations to optimise the mechanical behaviour of the CNT-strengthened structures for a specific design purpose.
