Abstract:

Abstract: The dynamic response of simply supported axial force Euler-Bernoulli beam subjected to uniform partially distributed moving loads was examined. The governing fourth order partial differential equation for moving loads was first reduced to second order differential equation by assume a solution in form of series solution and numerically using maple software in order to determine the behaviour of the system under consideration. The effect of mass of the beam on both the moving force and the moving mass was examined. It was observed that as the mass of the beam increases, the transverse displacement (deflection) is equally increases for both the moving force and the moving mass with respect to the tensile force and the compressive force. It was also observed that as the axial force increases the displacement decreases under the action of the moving force and the moving mass for the tensile force while in the case of the compressive force, as the axial force increases the displacement is equally increases.
