Both the exact and an approximate solution for the dynamic response of an infinite Bernoulli-Euler beam under an instantaneously applied, concentrated load are presented in this paper. The exact solution is obtained by means of complex Fourier transforms. The approximate solution is obtained by assuming the dynamic response has the form of a deflected infinite beam on an elastic foundation, with wavelength a function of time. This assumption is motivated by the similarity between the dynamic response problem and the problem of an infinite beam on an elastic foundation. A governing equation for the wavelength in the assumed response is derived by application of the principle of conservation of energy, and solved by straightforward methods. A comparison of the two solutions shows good agreement near the point of loading. Results applicable to pipe whip problems are presented.

Telescopic cranes are usually steel beam systems carrying a load at the tip while comprising at least one constant and one moving part. In this work, an analytical model suitable for the dynamic analysis of telescopic cranes boom is presented. The system considered herein is composed — without losing generality — of two beams. The first one is a jut-out beam on which a variable in time force is moving with constant velocity and the second one is a cantilever with length varying in time that is subjected to its self-weight and a force at the tip also changing with time. As a result, the eigenfrequencies and modal shapes of the second beam are also varying in time. The theoretical formulation is based on a continuum approach employing the modal superposition technique. Various cases of telescopic cranes boom are studied and the analytical results obtained in this work are tabulated in the form of dynamic response diagrams.

Abstract The elementary theory of the bending of a beam on an elastic foundation is based on the assumption that the beam is resting on a continuously distributed set of springs the stiffness of which is defined by a “modulus of the foundation” k. Very seldom, however, does it happen that the foundation is actually constituted this way. Generally, the foundation is an elastic continuum characterized by two elastic constants, a modulus of elasticity E, and a Poisson ratio ν. The problem of the bending of a beam resting on such a foundation has been approached already by various authors. The author attempts to give in this paper a more exact solution of one aspect of this problem, i.e., the case of an infinite beam under a concentrated load. A notable difference exists between the results obtained from the assumptions of a two-dimensional foundation and of a three-dimensional foundation. Bending-moment and deflection curves for the two-dimensional case are shown in Figs. 4 and 5. A value of the modulus k is given for both cases by which the elementary theory can be used and leads to results which are fairly acceptable. These values depend on the stiffness of the beam and on the elasticity of the foundation.

The flexible hub-beam system is a typical structure of the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic system. In this paper, the dynamic property of the flexible hub-beam system is investigated. First, based on the dynamic analysis of the flexible beam in the flexible hub-beam system, the dynamic model of a flexible hub-beam-tip mass system is established and researched. Second, the dynamic response of the flexible beam under different external loads, including end concentrated load, end sinusoidal load, and uniform load, is analyzed and calculated. Finally, the influence of magnitude, direction, and type of load on the dynamic response of the flexible beam is also discussed. This research can provide a novel strategy for controlling the maximum stress of the structural components to be lower than the yield stress of the material, and flexible components remain in the linear elastic range even under the condition of high-speed rotation.
