The uniform motion of a mass along an axially compressed Euler-Bernoulli beam on a viscoelastic foundation is investigated. It is assumed that the mass is subjected to a constant vertical load and that the beam and mass are in continuous contact. The velocity of the mass after which the vibrations o

β¦ Synopsis
The stability of vertical vibrations of a mass moving uniformly over four different elastic systems has been considered: an Euler-Bernoulli beam, a Kirchhoff plate, a Timoshenko beam and a Mindlin plate that are resting on a linear elastic foundation. It is shown that this vibration can become unstable. Using the fundamental solution approach, the characteristic equation for the vertical vibration of the moving mass is obtained. Starting from the laws of the conservation of energy and momentum the variation of the mass kinetic energy is derived. With the help of this relation, the physical mechanism of instability is discussed.

The eigenfrequencies of a two-mass oscillator moving uniformly along a string on a visco-elastic foundation are analysed. It is shown that in the case of purely elastic foundation, the oscillator has either one or two real positive eigenfrequencies dependent on the system parameters. Taking into acc
