Abstract
Structures carrying moving loads present rich vibration phenomena and colorful spectrum characteristics. This study analytically investigates the moving-inertial-load-pumped frequency comb free vibration behavior of a single-span rectangular linear elastic Kirchhoff thin plate in the low-speed region. Multiple-time-scales expansion is made and the asymptotic solution describing the non-resonance modal oscillation is derived. Case studies on a single-span rectangular isotropic plate with the clamped opposite boundaries dominated by the first two transverse flexural modes are presented. Numerical computation based on finite element method structure modeling and response numerical integration verifies the modal frequency comb characteristics as predicted by the proposed theoretical model. The results also present the weak modal interaction for the studied single-span structure in the observed light-mass low moving speed region. The outcomes of this study will benefit the related structural dynamic system design and intervention.
