State Responses

The steady-state responses to a point load moving with constant velocity on an elastic beam which rests on two types of idealized strain-hardening foundations are considered. The one-dimensional elastic-rigid foundation problem is shown to be equivalent to an elastic foundation with two traveling point loads. The opposing loads produce deflections which remain bounded for all load velocities and less than the corresponding elastic foundation results. The deflections of a one-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic foundation are shown to be bounded for all load velocities. However, deflections significantly larger than the corresponding elastic foundation results occur over a wide range of velocities which are less than the elastic foundation critical velocity.

Group Velocities

A two-dimensional mixed problem for a thin elastic strip resting on a Winkler foundation is considered within the framework of plane stress setup. The relative stiffness of the foundation is supposed to be small to ensure low-frequency vibrations. Asymptotic analysis at a higher order results in a one-dimensional equation of bending motion refining numerous ad hoc developments starting from Timoshenko-type beam equations. Two-term expansions through the foundation stiffness are presented for phase and group velocities, as well as for the critical velocity of a moving load. In addition, the formula for the longitudinal displacements of the beam due to its transverse compression is derived.

Rail Deflection

In the literature, typical analytical track response models are composed of beams (which represent the rail) on viscoelastic or elastic foundations. The load is usually considered as a single concentrated force (constant or varying in time) moving with constant speed. Concentrated or distributed loads or multilayer track models have rarely been considered. One can find some interesting results concerning analysis of distributed loads and multilayer track structures that include both analytical and numerical approaches. However, there is a noticeable lack of sufficient comparison between track responses under concentrated or distributed load and between one and multilayer track models. One of the unique features of the present paper is a comparison of data obtained for a series of concentrated and distributed loads, which takes into account a wide range of track parameters and train speeds. One of the fundamental questions associated with the multilayer track model is the level of coupling between the rail and the vibrations of the sleepers. In this paper, it is proved that sleepers are weakly coupled with the rail if the track is without significant imperfections, and the steady-state response is analyzed for this case. In other words, sleeper vibrations do not influence the rail vibrations significantly. Therefore the track is analyzed by means of a two-stage model. The first step of this model determines rail vibration under a moving load, and then the sleeper vibration is calculated from previously obtained kinematic excitation. The model is verified by comparison of the obtained results with experimental data. Techniques based on Fourier series are applied to the solution of the steady-state track response. Another important problem associated with track response under moving loads arises from the analysis of the effect of longitudinal forces in rails on vertical displacement. It is shown that, in the case of the steady-state response, longitudinal forces do not influence rail displacements significantly and this observation remains correct for a wide range of track parameters and train speeds. The paper also analyzes the legitimacy of the statement that additional rail deflection between sleepers, compared to the continuous rail support, can be considered as a track imperfection.

Load Mass

The dynamic response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam under moving loads is studied by mode superposition. The inertial effects of the moving load are included in the analysis. The time-dependent equations of motion in modal space are solved by the method of multiple scales. Instability regions of parametric resonance are identified and the moving mass effect is shown to significantly affect the transient response of the beam. Importance of modal interaction arising out of the possible internal resonance is highlighted. While the external resonance is due to the gravity effects of the moving load, the parametric and internal resonance solely depends on the load mass parameter—ratio of the moving load mass to the beam mass. Numerical results show the influence of the load inertia terms on the beam response under either a single moving load or a series of moving loads. [S0739-3717(00)01703-7]

Hydroelastic Response

The hydroelastic response of a very large floating structure in regular waves suffering an external moving point load is considered. The linearized velocity potential theory is adopted to describe the fluid flow. To take into account the coupled effects of the structure deformation and fluid motion, the structure is divided into multiple segments and connected by an elastic beam. Then through adding a stiffness matrix arising from the elastic beam into the multiple bodies coupled motion equations, the hydroelastic response is considered. By applying the Fourier transform to the obtained frequency domain coefficients, the motion equation is transformed into the time domain and the external point load is further considered. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified through the comparison with experimental results. Finally, extensive results are provided, and the effects of the moving point load on the hydroelastic response of the very large floating structure are investigated in detail.

The steady-state response of a semi-infinite solid, with an overlying semi-infinite fluid, subjected at the plane interface to a moving point load is determined for subsonic and intersonic load velocities. Some numerical results for the displacements at the interface are presented and compared to the results obtained in the absence of the fluid.
