The method of modal analysis is presented to investigate the random vibration of a multi-span Timoshenko beam due to a load moving at a constant velocity. The load is considered to be a stationary process with a constant mean value and a variance. The effects of both velocity and statistical charact

โฆ Synopsis
A method of modal analysis is proposed in this paper to investigate the forced vibration of multi-span Timoshenko beams. The ratio of the radius of gyration of the cross-section to one span length is defined as a parameter r. The effect of r on the first modal frequency of a beam is studied. A concentrated force traversing on the beam is used as an example. The effects of span number, rotatory inertia and shear deformation on the maximum moment, the maximum deflection and the critical velocity of a beam are examined. The results are compared with those of a multi-span Bernoulli-Euler beam.

An analytical method is presented in this paper to study the vibration of multi-span Timoshenko frames. The combined effects of axial inertia, rotatory inertia and shear deformation of each branch of those frames are simultaneously considered. Any two distinct sets of the mode shape functions are sh

Based on Hamilton's principle, the vibration of a multi-span non-uniform beam subjected to a moving load is analysed by using modified beam vibration functions as the assumed modes. The modified beam vibration functions satisfy the zero deflection conditions at all the intermediate point supports as
A new type of self-damping system--an elastic beam with a sliding washer-is analyzed. It is found that under external excitation the motion of the washer sliding along the beam can eliminate resonances, and decrease the beam's dynamic response to random stationary and impulsive excitation. Experimen
