In this study, the dynamic response of beams resting on two-parameter elastic foundation subjected to moving load is investigated by using the transfer matrix method (TMM). The Timoshenko beam theory (TBT) which considers shear deformation and rotational inertia is used to model the beam. The two-parameter elastic foundation model is selected as Pasternak foundation that takes into account a shear layer at the end of linear springs of Winkler foundation. The TMM which uses the relation between analytically obtained state vectors of each end of the beam is applied to solve the free vibration problem. After performing the free vibration analysis, the mathematical model is simplified into an equivalent single degree of freedom (SDOF) system by using the exact mode shapes to obtain dynamic responses. The generalized displacement is calculated for each mode by using the Runge-Kutta algorithm. A numerical case study is presented for a simply-supported Timoshenko beam on the Pasternak foundation subjected to a concentrated load. The natural frequencies obtained from finite element method (FEM) results of SAP2000 are presented with the results of TMM for comparison purposes using the Winkler foundation. The effects of shear layer on the natural frequencies of the model are revealed. The mode shapes are plotted. The proposed approach for calculating dynamic responses is validated by using the results of FEM for Winkler foundation model. Then, the effects of Winkler springs and shear layer of the foundation model on the dynamic responses are presented in figures. The effects of modal damping are discussed. Finally, the critical velocities for the model are calculated for various elastic foundation scenarios and the effects of elastic foundation parameters on the dynamic response of beam model subjected to moving load with high velocity are observed.

In this paper, the bending waves propagating along the edge of a semi-infinite Kirchhoff plate resting on a two-parameter Pasternak elastic foundation are studied. Two geometries of the foundation are considered: either it is infinite or it is semi-infinite with the edges of the plate and of the foundation coinciding. Dispersion relations along with phase and group velocity expressions are obtained. It is shown that the semi-infinite foundation setup exhibits a cut-off frequency which is the same as for a Winkler foundation. The phase velocity possesses a minimum which corresponds to the critical velocity of a moving load. The infinite foundation exhibits a cut-off frequency which depends on its relative stiffness and occurs at a nonzero wavenumber, which is in fact hardly observed in elastodynamics. As a result, the associated phase velocity minimum is admissible only up to a limiting value of the stiffness. In the case of a foundation with small stiffness, asymptotic expansions are derived and beam-like one-dimensional equivalent models are deduced accordingly. It is demonstrated that for the infinite foundation the related nonclassical beam-like model comprises a pseudo-differential operator.

AbstractA composite beam with single delamination under the action of moving load has been modeled accounting for the Poisson’s effect, shear deformation, and rotary inertia. The existence of the delamination changes the stiffness of the structure, and this affects the dynamic response of the structure. We have used a constrained mode to simulate the behavior between the delaminated surfaces. Based on this mode, eigensolution technique is used to obtain the natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes for the delaminated beam. Then, the Ritz method is adopted to derive the dynamic response of the beam subjected to a moving load. The obtained results for the free and forced vibrations of beams are verified against reported similar results in the literature. Moreover, the maximum dynamic response of such beam is compared with an intact beam. The effects of different parameters such as the size, depth, and spanwise location of the delamination, the load velocity, the different ply configurations, and the Poisson’s effect on the dynamic response of the beam are studied.

This paper investigates the free vibration and dynamic response of functionally graded sandwich beams resting on an elastic foundation under the action of a moving harmonic load. The governing equation of motion of the beam, which includes the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia based on the Timoshenko beam theory, is derived from Lagrange’s equations. The Ritz and Newmark methods are employed to solve the equation of motion for the free and forced vibration responses of the beam with different boundary conditions. The results are presented in both tabular and graphical forms to show the effects of layer thickness ratios, boundary conditions, length to height ratios, spring constants, etc. on natural frequencies and dynamic deflections of the beam. It was found that increasing the spring constant of the elastic foundation leads to considerable increase in natural frequencies of the beam; while the same is not true for the dynamic deflection. Additionally, very large dynamic deflection occurs for the beam in resonance under the harmonic moving load.

Axially Moving

Transverse vibration of two axially moving beams connected by a Winkler elastic foundation is analyzed analytically. The two beams are tensioned, translating axially with a common constant velocity, simply supported at their ends, and of different materials and geometry. The natural frequencies and associated mode shapes are obtained. The natural frequencies of the system are composed of two infinite sets describing in-phase and out-of-phase vibrations. In case the beams are identical, these modes become synchronous and asynchronous, respectively. Divergence instability occurs at a critical velocity and a critical tension; and, divergence and flutter instabilities coexist at postcritical speeds, and divergence instability takes place precritical tensions. The effects of the mass, flexural rigidity, and axial tension ratios of the two beams are presented.

This paper studies the influence of adhesive dimensions on the transverse free vibration of the single-lap adhesive cantilevered beams. The researches are performed by employing software ansys .Efficient analytic results of natural frequencies and mode shapes of transverse free vibration of the beams are provided, corresponding to different adhesive dimensions of bonded thicknesses and bondlines length. Bondlines length has more significant influence on the transverse natural frequencies and the lap joint’s mode shapes of the beams than bonded thickness. The transverse natural frequencies decrease with a decrease in the bondlines length of adhesive, but do not appear to variation observably with a decrease in the bonded thickness. Bondlines length shorting, the lap joint has a sharper mode shape. Simultaneously, the lap joint of even mode shapes influences the dynamic response of the beams significantly. These results indicate a local crack in adhesive layers because of the existence of stress concentration.

Coupling Dynamic Model

Currently dynamic response of the pavement structure is widely studied in pavement engineering. A 3D direct vehicle-pavement coupling dynamic model was developed to describe the pavement dynamic responses in this paper. The moving vehicle was simplified as spring-dashpot components, and the pavement structure was simulated using three-dimension finite element model. Based on Newton iteration and central difference integration algorithm, the static and dynamic coupling reactions between the pavement structure and vehicle were considered using finite element platform ABAQUS. The numerical results fit analytic results very well in static analysis and fit experiment results in dynamic analysis well too. The simulated results indicate that the dynamic pavement surface deflection is much higher than the situation in static analysis, due to the overlapping effect. This phenomenon enhances when vehicle speed increases. A discontinuous zone of shear stress was observed on the base surface between the location under moving load and the location the moving load just passed. It was also found that the vertical fluctuation exists on the vehicle even if there is no roughness on the pavement surface. In general, the developed 3-D direct vehicle-pavement coupling dynamic model was validated to be effective on evaluating pavement dynamic responses.

A round elevator traveling cable is modeled using a singularity-free beam formulation. Equilibria of the traveling cable with different elevator car positions are studied. Natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes of the traveling cable are calculated and they are in excellent agreement with those calculated by abaqus. In-plane natural frequencies of the traveling cable do not change much with the car position compared with its out-of-plane ones. Dynamic responses of the traveling cable are calculated and they are in good agreement with those from commercial multibody dynamics software recurdyn. Effects of vertical motion of the car on free responses of the traveling cable and those of in-plane and out-of-plane building sways on forced responses are investigated.

Shell Motion

Axisymmetric vibrations of a hollow piezoelectric sphere submerged in a compressible viscous fluid medium are investigated. The piezoelectric sphere is radially polarized. The differential equations governing the shell motion are obtained by the use of Hamilton’s principle. Based on the classical bending theory of shells, it is shown that all the piezoelectric contributions can be included in the in vacuo natural frequencies and their corresponding mode shapes. As such, the previous theory on elastic shell vibration becomes readily extendable. The flow field, determined by the boundary layer theory, is coupled to the shell motion through no-slip and no-penetrating conditions. It is found that the contribution of the piezoelectric parameters in the thin shell’s free vibration is of small order and is negligible. Natural frequencies and their associated vibration characteristics are numerically obtained and presented for a Polyvinglindene fluoride (PVDF) shell submerged in water. Dynamic responses of a submerged piezoelectric sherical shell, and the associated radiation of sound are investigated. The oscillations are harmonically driven by an axisymmetrically applied electric potential difference across the surface of the shell. The vibrational, fluid loading, and energy flow characteristics are derived and evaluated for a PVDF shell submerged in water. The essential feature of the modal response is determined by various critical frequencies, such as resonant frequencies and vibration-absorbing frequencies. Viscous effect is found noticeable in several cases.
