The steady-state responses to a point load moving with constant velocity on an elastic beam which rests on two types of idealized strain-hardening foundations are considered. The one-dimensional elastic-rigid foundation problem is shown to be equivalent to an elastic foundation with two traveling point loads. The opposing loads produce deflections which remain bounded for all load velocities and less than the corresponding elastic foundation results. The deflections of a one-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic foundation are shown to be bounded for all load velocities. However, deflections significantly larger than the corresponding elastic foundation results occur over a wide range of velocities which are less than the elastic foundation critical velocity.

In this paper, the principal resonance is investigated for a cantilever with a contact end. The cantilever is modeled as an Euler–Bernoulli beam, and the contact is modeled by the Derjaguin–Müller–Toporov theory. The problem is formulated as a linear nonautonomous partial-differential equation with a nonlinear autonomous boundary condition. The method of multiple scales is applied to determine the steady-state response. The equation of response curves is derived from the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. The stability of steady-state responses is analyzed by using the Lyapunov-linearized stability theory. Numerical examples are presented to highlight the effects of the excitation amplitude, the damping coefficient, and the coefficients related to the contact.

Multiple auditory steady-state responses were evoked by eight tonal stimuli (four per ear), with each stimulus simultaneously modulated in both amplitude and frequency. The modulation frequencies varied from 80 to 95 Hz and the carrier frequencies were 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. For air conduction, the differences between physiologic thresholds for these mixed-modulation (MM) stimuli and behavioral thresholds for pure tones in 31 adult subjects with a sensorineural hearing impairment and 14 adult subjects with normal hearing were 14 ± 11, 5 ± 9, 5 ± 9, and 9 ± 10 dB (correlation coefficients .85, .94, .95, and .95) for the 500-, 1000-, 2000-, and 4000-Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. Similar results were obtained in subjects with simulated conductive hearing losses. Responses to stimuli presented through a forehead bone conductor showed physiologic-behavioral threshold differences of 22 ± 8, 14 ± 5, 5 ± 8, and 5 ± 10 dB for the 500-, 1000-, 2000-, and 4000-Hz carrier frequencies, respectively. These responses were attenuated by white noise presented concurrently through the bone conductor.
