A simple procedure based on the finite element method has been developed for treating the dynamic analysis of beams on an elastic foundation subjected to moving point loads, where the foundation has been modelled by springs of variable stiffness. The effect of the speed of the moving load, the found

The dynamic sti!ness matrix of an in"nite Timoshenko beam on viscoelastic foundation to a harmonic moving load is established. This dynamic sti!ness matrix is essentially a function of the velocity and frequency of the harmonic moving load. The critical velocities and the resonant frequencies can be
## SUMMARY Analytical solutions for the steadyβstate response of an infinite beam resting on a viscoβelastic foundation and subjected to a concentrated load moving with a constant velocity are developed in this paper. The beam responses investigated are deflection, bending moment, shear force and c
