Dynamic Analysis of a Timoshenko Beam Subjected to an Accelerating Mass Using Spectral Element Method

الملخص EN

This paper presents formulations for a Timoshenko beam subjected to an accelerating mass using spectral element method in time domain (TSEM).

Vertical displacement and bending rotation of the beam were interpolated by Lagrange polynomials supported on the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) points.

By using GLL integration rule, the mass matrix was diagonal and the dynamic responses can be obtained efficiently and accurately.

The results were compared with those obtained in the literature to verify the correctness.

The variation of the vibration frequencies of the Timoshenko and moving mass system was researched.

The effects of inertial force, centrifugal force, Coriolis force, and tangential force on a Timoshenko beam subjected to an accelerating mass were investigated.
