โฆ Synopsis
A shallow elastic arch subjected to a static load is considered. Plots of load magnitude .versus the squares of the vibration frequencies (i.e., characteristic curves) have been obtained previously. Here, the effects of initial thrust and elastic foundation on the characteristic curves are investigated. For simplicity, results are derived for an arch with pinned ends and a sinusoidal initial shape, and the static load is assumed to have a sinusoidal distribution.
