Two methods able to capture with different levels of accuracy the discontinuities in the bending moment and shear force laws in the dynamic analysis of continuous structures subject to a moving system modeled as a series of unsprung masses are presented. The two methods are based on the dynamic-correction method, which improves the conventional series expansion by means of a pseudostatic term, and on an eigenfunction series expansion of the continuous system response, which takes into account the effect of the moving masses on the structure, respectively.

In this paper, a new series expansion for calculating the bending moment and the shear force in a proportionally damped, one-dimensional distributed parameter system due to moving loads is suggested. The number of moving forces, which may be functions of time and spatial coordinate, and their velocities are arbitrary. The derivation of the series expansion is not limited to moving forces that are a priori known, making this method also applicable to problems in which the moving forces depend on the interactions between the continuous system and the subsystems it carries, e.g., the moving oscillator problem. A main advantage of the proposed method is in the accurate and efficient evaluation of the bending moment and shear force, and in particular, the shear jumps at the locations where the moving forces are applied. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the rapid convergence of the new series representation.

This work devoted to an ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel under internal pressure load. The analysis is aimed at finding an optimum weight of ellipsoidal head of pressure vessel due to maximum working pressure that ensures its full charge with stresses by using imperialist competitive algorithm and genetic algorithm. In head of pressure vessel the region of its joint with the cylindrical shell is loaded with shear force and bending moments. The load causes high bending stresses in the region of the joint. Therefore, imperialist competitive algorithm was used here to find the optimum shape of a head with minimum weight and maximum working pressure which the shear force and the bending moment moved toward zero. Two different size ellipsoidal head examples are selected and studied. The imperialist competitive algorithm results are compared with the genetic algorithm results.

Abstract The problem of calculating the dynamic response of a one-dimensional distributed parameter system excited by an oscillator traversing the system with an arbitrarily varying speed is investigated. An improved series representation for the solution is derived that takes into account the jump in the shear force at the point of the attachment of the oscillator, which makes it possible to efficiently calculate the distributed shear force and, where applicable, bending moment. The improvement is achieved through the introduction of the “quasi-static” solution, an approximation to the desired one, which makes it possible to apply to the moving oscillator problem the “mode-acceleration” technique conventionally used for acceleration of series in problems related to the steady-state vibration of distributed systems. Numerical results illustrating the efficiency of the method are presented.

The theoretical procedure presented herein examines the influence of retaining the transverse shear force in the yield criterion and rotatory inertia on the dynamic plastic response of beams. Exact theoretical rigid perfectly plastic solutions are presented for a long beam impacted by a mass and a simply supported beam loaded impulsively. It transpires that rotatory inertia might play a small, but not negligible, role on the response of these beams. The results in the various figures indicate that the greatest departure from an analysis which neglects rotatory inertia but retains the influence of the bending moment and transverse shear force in the yield condition is approximately 11 percent for the particular range of parameters considered.
