On the Transverse Vibrations of Beam-Bridges under the Action of Some Moving Bodies

Abstract

Transverse vibration of continuous beam under the action of a moving body has been mentioned in works such as [1,2,3,4]. Currently transverse vibrations of the beam on many intermediate elastic supports are attracting increased attention in cable-stayed bridges. In this work, we use the method of substructures to derive transverse vibration equations of continuous beam with intermediate elastic supports under the action of moving bodies. An algorithm is built to solve the vibration equations. From this algorithm, a computer program is created using Turbo Pascal language.
