Dynamic response to moving masses of rectangular plates with general boundary conditions and resting on variable winkler foundation

Abstract

The dynamic response to moving masses of rectangular plates with general classical boundary conditions and resting on variable Winkler elastic foundation is investigated in this work. The governing fourth order partial differential equation is solved using a technique based on separation of variables, the modified method of Struble and the integral transformations. Numerical results in plotted curves are then presented. The results show that as the value of the rotatory inertia correction factor Ro increases, the response amplitudes of the plate decrease and that, for fixed value of Ro, the displacements of the plate decrease as the foundation modulus Fo increases for the variants of the classical boundary conditions considered. The results also show that for fixed Ro and Fo, the transverse deflections of the rectangular plates under the actions of moving masses are higher than those when only the force effects of the moving load are considered. For the rectangular plate, for the same natural frequency, the critical speed for moving mass problem is smaller than that of the moving force problem for all variants of classical boundary conditions, that is, resonance is reached earlier in moving mass problem than in moving force problem. When Fo and Ro increase, the critical speed increases, hence, risk is reduced.

Transverse Motions of Rectangular Plates Resting on Elastic Foundation and Under Concentrated Masses Moving at Varying Velocities

“…It has also become the objective of various investigations in the field of applied Mathematics and Physics. In general, problems of this type are mathematically complex when the inertial effect of the moving load is taken into consideration [Fryba, L., (1972), Milormir et al (1969), Sadiku et al, (1981), Gbadeyan and Oni (1995) Kargarmovin and Younesian (2004), Shahin and Mbakisya (2010), Awodola and Oni (2013), Awodola and Oni (2011), Omolofe (2013)]. …”

Dynamic analysis of curved plate - columns system subjected to moving load

“…Depending on the level of accuracy required and the ability to calculate, the face of the bridge can be described in the form of a plate, shell or beams in the calculation model. These types of structural calculation is influenced by moving load that many scientists are interested in, such as: C. Johansson et al [1], Ladislav Frysba [2], Nguyen Thai Chung et al [3,4], Qinghua Song et al [5], Nguyen Van Khang et al [6], Nguyen Van Chinh et al [7], T.O.Awodola et al [8], Volkan Kahya et al [9], Bui Manh Cuong [10]. The publication is quite varied.…”

Dynamic Behavior of Bernoulli-Euler Beam with Elastically Supported Boundary Conditions under Moving Distributed Masses and Resting on Constant Foundation

“…Yin [9] carried out work on a comparative modeling study of reinforced beam on elastic foundation. Awodola and Oni [10] considered a rectangular plates with general boundary conditions resting on a variable Winkler foundation. Adams [11] also considered the critical speeds and the response of a tensioned beam on an elastic foundation to repetitive moving loads.…”
