Fourier transform is used to solve the problem of steady-state response of a beam on an elastic Winkler foundation subject to a moving constant line load. Theorem of residue is employed to evaluate the convolution in terms of Green’s function. A closed-form solution is presented with respect to distinct Mach numbers. It is found that the response of the beam goes to unbounded as the load travels with the critical velocity. The maximal displacement response appears exactly under the moving load and travels at the same speed with the moving load in the case of Mach numbers being less than unity.

Closed Form Solutions

In this study, a special class of closed-form solutions for inhomogeneous beam-columns on elastic foundations is investigated. Namely the following problem is considered: find the distribution of the material density and the flexural rigidity of an inhomogeneous beam resting on a variable elastic foundation so that the postulated trigonometric mode shape serves both as vibration and buckling modes. Specifically, for a simply-supported beam on elastic foundation, the harmonically varying vibration mode is postulated and the associated semi-inverse problem is solved that result in the distributions of flexural rigidity that together with a specific law of material density, an axial load distribution and a particular variability of elastic foundation characteristics satisfy the governing eigenvalue problem. The analytical expression for the natural frequencies of the corresponding homogeneous beam-column with a constant characteristic elastic foundation is obtained as a particular case. For comparison the obtained closed-form solution is contrasted with an approximate solution based on an appropriate polynomial shape, serving as trial function in an energy method.
