This paper studies the dynamic response of a cantilevered beam subjected to a moving moment and torque, and combination of them with a moving force. The moving loads are considered to traverse along the length of the beam either from fixed-to-free end or free-to-fixed end. The beam is considered to have constant material and geometric properties. The beam is modeled using the Rayleigh beam theory considering the rotary inertia effects. The Dirac-delta function used to model the moving loads in the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) has complicated the solution of the problem. The Eigenfunction expansions coupled with the Laplace transformation method is used to find the semi-analytical solution for the resulting governing PDEs. The effects of moving loads on the dynamic response are studied. The dynamic effects are quantified based on the number of oscillations per unit travel time of the moving load and the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) of the beam’s tip response. Numerical results are also analyzed for the two-speed regimes, namely high-speed and low-speed regimes, defined with respect to the critical speed of the moving loads. The accuracy of the analytical solutions are verified by the finite element analysis. The numerical results show that the loads moving with low speeds have significant impact on the dynamic response compared to high speeds. Also, the moving moment has significant impact on the amplitude of dynamic response compared with the moving force case.

In this study, the dynamic response of axially prestressed Rayleigh beam resting on elastic foundation and subjected to concentrated masses traveling at varying velocity has been investigated. Analytical solutions representing the transverse-displacement response of the beam under both concentrated forces and masses traveling at nonuniform velocities have been obtained. Influence of various parameters, namely, axial force, rotatory inertia correction factor, and foundation modulus on the dynamic response of the dynamical system, is investigated for both moving force and moving mass models. Effects of variable velocity on the vibrating system have been established. Furthermore, the conditions under which the vibrating systems will experience resonance effect have been established. Results arrived at in this paper are in perfect agreement with existing results.

The dynamic response to moving distributed masses of pre-stressed uniform Rayleigh beam resting on variable elastic Pasternak foundation is examined. The equation governing this problem is a fourth order partial differential equation with variable and singular co-efficients. To solve this cumbersome equation, the method of Galerkin approach is adopted to reduce the governing differential equation to a sequence of coupled second order ordinary differential equation which is then simplified further with modified asymptotic method of Struble. The more simplified equation is solved using the Laplace transformation technique. The closed form solutions obtained are analyzed in order to show the conditions of resonance, and to show that resonance is attained earlier in moving mass system than in the moving force system. The results in plotted graphs show that as the axial force, the rotatory inertia, foundation modulus and shear modulus increase, the deflection of the elastically supported non-uniform Rayleigh beam decreases in each case. The transverse deflections of the beam on variable Pasternak elastic foundation are higher under the action of moving masses than those when only the force effects of the moving load are considered. This implies that resonance is reached faster in moving mass problem than in moving force problem.

A time-discontinuous Galerkin (TDG) finite element method for analyzing the dynamic response of cantilever beam subjected to moving force or moving mass is presented. The cantilever beam is discretized in space by finite element method, and the time-varying dynamic equations are derived. The TDG finite element method by which both the displacements and velocities are approximated as piecewise linear functions in time domain and discontinuous at the discrete time levels is adopted to solve the differential equations. This method inherits third order accuracy and the unconditionally stable behavior, moreover, it is endowed with large stability limits and controllable numerical dissipation. The numerical solutions are accord with analytic ones, which validates the feasibility and superiority of this method for solving the dynamic response of cantilever beam under moving force or moving mass.
