Steady Solutions for Moving Loads on
Elastic Beams with One-Sided Constraints
G.G. Adams and D.B. Bogy
Summary
An infinite beam resting on a flat rigid foundation is loaded by an upward directed
concentrated force, which moves at a constant speed. Both the Euler-Bernoulli and
Timoshenko beam models are considered. With force magnitude and speed as parameters,
the noncontact lengths, mode shapes and foundation reactions are computed and illustrated
graphically.
