Abstract

The steady state in-plane response of a curved Timoshenko beam with internal damping to a sinusoidally varying point force or moment is determined by use of the transfer matrix approach. The method is applied to free-clamped non-uniform beams with circular, elliptical, catenary or parabolical neutral axis excited at the free end; the driving point impedance and force or moment transmissibility are calculated numerically and the influence of the varying cross-section and of the function expressing the neutral axis are studied.
