in the current study, the effects of interactions of the moving loads and the attached mass-spring-damper systems of the composite plates on the resulting dynamic responses are investigated comprehensively, for the first time, using the classical plate theory. the solution of the coupled governing system of equations is accomplished through tracing the spatial variations using a navier-type sol...

In this paper, the dynamic responses of cracked beams under different moving forces, including moving load, moving mass, moving oscillator, and four-degrees-of-freedom moving system, are investigated. Structural elements such as beams are designed to withstand the predicted loads, but unfortunately, they are always exposed to unpredictable damage such as cracks. Several factors may cause these ...

the vibrations produced by trains include two parts which are deterministic and random vibrations. due to variation of dynamic loads and patterns of load-time, the random vibration of moving train is one of the most important issues in the field of railway engineering. one of the important sources in producing the train vibrations is rail roughness and irregularities. in this paper, responses o...

the harmony search algorithm is applied to optimum designs of a functionally graded (fg)-carbon naotubes (cnts)-reinforced pipes conveying fluid subjected to moving load. the structure is modeled by reddy cylindrical shell theory and the motion equations are derived by hamilton's principal. based on differential quadrature method (dqm), the dynamic displacement of system is derived. the le...

Transversal vibrations of an axially moving string under boundary damping are investigated. Mathematically, it represents a homogenous linear partial differential equation subject to nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. The string is moving with a relatively (low) constant speed, which is considered to be positive.  The string is kept fixed at the first end, while the other end is tied with the ...

springs are the  mechanical parts which have many application in industries. static and dynamic forces cause relaxation in these parts so that they lose some of their free length and reaction force. springs constant are very important in airplane and vailway industry since constant and variable forces are applied to them in period time, therefore it is necessary to avoid decreasing in spring co...
