Wave solutions are obtained by the Laplace-transform method for a semi-infinite beam subjected to a concentrated load moving at a velocity which may be supersonic, intersonic, or subsonic with respect to the bending and shear-wave velocities of the beam. Curves are drawn showing the velocity distribution behind a load moving supersonically.

The general problem of Timoshenko beam analysis is solved using the Laplace transform method. Time-dependent boundary and normal loads are considered. It is established that the integrands of the inversion integrals are always single-valued for beams of finite length and modal solutions can always be obtained using the residue theorem.

The problem of a viscoelastic Timoshenko beam subjected to a transversely applied step-loading is solved using the Laplace transform method. It is established that the support shear force is amplified more than the support bending moment for a fixed-end beam when strain rate influences are accounted for implicitly in the viscoelastic constitutive formulation.
