In this paper, vibration problems of a simply-supported elastic beam subjected to randomly spaced moving loads with a uniform speed are treated under the assumption that the input load sequence is a Poisson process. In the case in which the inertial effect of moving loads is taken into account, the stability problem relating to the speed and the mass of loads is dealt with, considering the inertia force, the centrifugal force, and the Coriolis force of the moving loads. As an analytical result a stability chart of the mean-squared deflection was obtained for the moving speed and the moving masses.

In this paper, vibration problems of a simply-supported elastic beam subjected to randomly spaced moving loads with a uniform speed are treated under the assumption that the input load sequence is a Poisson process. In the case in which the inertial effect of moving loads is neglected, the time history, the power spectral density, and the various moments of the response are examined and the effects of the speed of moving loads upon the beam are made clear.

This problem is a generalization of the classical problem of the stability of a spinning rigid body. We obtain the stability chart by using: (i) the computer algebra system MACSYMA in conjunction with a perturbation method, and (ii) numerical integration based on Floquet theory. We show that the form of the stability chart is different for each of the three cases in which the spin axis is the minimum, maximum, or middle principal moment of inertia axis. In particular, a rotation with arbitrarily small angular velocity about the maximum moment of inertia axis can be made unstable by appropriately choosing the model parameters. In contrast, a rotation about the minimum moment of inertia axis is always stable for a sufficiently small angular velocity. The MACSYMA program, which we used to obtain the transition curves, is included in the Appendix.

Inertia force is an important factor for operation stability and stamping precision of high-speed punch; adjusting drive torque of high-speed punch can realize effective control of inertia force. In this paper, a kind of 600 KN multilink high-speed punch inertia force balancing mechanism was designed. The calculation model of ideal inertia force was proposed based on conservation of energy and numerical analysis method. In addition, the calculation model of ideal driving torque were analyzed, simplified, and corrected by using numerical calculation and simulation methods, which solved the problem of controlling inertia force from the perspective of driving torque and realized the stability strategy planning of high-speed multilink punch press. Finally, the proposed ideal driving torque calculation model was simulated and verified by ADAMAS and bottom-dead-point accuracy test was carried out.

The present chapter investigates both the effects of moving loads and of stochastic wind on the steady-state vibration of a first mode Rayleigh elastic beam. The beam is assumed to lay on foundations (bearings) that are characterized by fractional-order viscoelastic material. The viscoelastic property of the foundation is modeled using the constitutive equation of Kelvin-Voigt type, which contain fractional derivatives of real order. Based to the stochastic averaging method, an analytical explanation on the effects of the viscoelastic physical properties and number of the bearings, additive and parametric wind turbulence on the beam oscillations is provided. In particular, it is found that as the number of bearings increase, the resonant amplitude of the beam decreases and shifts towards larger frequency values. The results also indicate that as the order of the fractional derivative increases, the amplitude response decreases. We are also demonstrated that a moderate increase of the additive and parametric wind turbulence contributes to decrease the chance for the beam to reach the resonance. The remarkable agreement between the analytical and numerical results is also presented in this chapter.

A new approach to optimal control of vehicle suspension systems, incorporating actuator time delay, is presented. The inclusion of time delay provides a more realistic model for the actuators, and the problem is viewed from a different perspective rather than the conventional optimal control techniques. The objective here is to select a set of feedback gains such that the maximum vertical acceleration of the sprung mass is minimized, over a wide band frequency range and when subjected to certain constraints. The constraints are dictated by the vehicle stability characteristics and the physical bounds placed on the feedback gains. Utilizing a Simple Quarter Car model, the constrained optimization is then carried out in the frequency domain with the road irregularities described as random processes. Due to the presence of the actuator time delay, the characteristic equation is found to be transcendental rather than algebraic, which makes the stability analysis relatively complex. A new scheme for the stability chart strategy with fixed time delay is introduced in order to address the stability issue. The stability characteristics are also verified utilizing other conventional methods such as the Michailov technique. Results demonstrate that the suspension system, when considering the effect of the actuator time delay, exhibits a completely different behavior.

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]

Abstract The natural modes of free vibrations of a symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. This system has two natural modes, one in-phase and the other out-of-phase. In contradistinction to the comparable single-degree-of-freedom system where the free vibrations are always orbitally stable, the natural modes of the symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are frequently unstable. The stability properties depend on two parameters and are easily deduced from a stability chart. For sufficiently small amplitudes both modes are, in general, stable. When the coupling spring is linear, both modes are always stable at all amplitudes. For other conditions, either mode may become unstable at certain amplitudes. In particular, if there is a single value of frequency and amplitude at which the system can vibrate in either mode, the out-of-phase mode experiences a change of stability. The experimental investigation has generally confirmed the theoretical predictions.

Abstract Vibration problems of beams with time-dependent boundary conditions are solved by the method of Laplace transforms. The problems treated include the simply supported, cantilevered, and fixed beams carrying a single arbitrarily placed mass; two equal masses symmetrically placed on a simply supported or fixed-end beam and a beam carrying a mass at the center and two equal masses at tips, striking a spring.
