The aim of this study is performing free vibration analysis segmented Timoshenko beams on two parameter elastic foundation by using the transfer matrix method (TMM). Pasternak model which has an incompressible shear layer vertical elements attached to Winkler springs was considered. formulations are based closed-form solutions equations motion were obtained. natural frequencies calculated equat...

The work of a reinforced concrete beam lying on an elastic foundation is considered, the deformation characteristics which are described by model with two Vlasov-Pasternak bed coefficients. coefficients considered as stationary random normally distributed functions x coordinate. Strength concrete: cube strength and tensile assumed to be variables Gaussian probability density distributions. conc...

in this paper effects of fractured sleepers on rail track vibration under moving wheelset have been investigated. two parallel rails of the track have been modeled as euler-bernoulli beams on elastic points as rail pads. also sleepers have been modeled as visco-elastic euler-bernoulli beams. it is assumed that, some sleepers under the rail track have been fractured and modeled by two beams. the...

Abstract Generalizing the first-order shear deformation plate theory (FOPT) proposed by Ambartsumyan (Theory of anisotropic plates, Nauka, Moscow, 1967 ( in Russian )) to heterogeneous laminated nanocomposite plates and nonlinear vibration problem is analytically solved taking into account an elastic medium this study for first time. The Pasternak-type foundation model (PT-EF) used as model. Af...
