Abstract: In this technical note the method of solving the problem of dynamic response of an elastic structure carrying a moving oscillator, given in the writers' companion paper, is discussed further. The aim of this work is to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method for solving the problem of the dynamic response of a continuous elastic structure carrying a moving linear oscillator. The method reduces the problem to the integration of a system of linear ...

Abstract: An extension to classical covariance control methods introduced by Skelton and coworkers, is proposed specifically for application to the control of civil engineering structures subjected to random dynamic excitations. The ...

Abstract: A method for analyzing the free vibration of combined linear undamped dynamical systems attached at discrete points is shown. The method uses separation of variables to exhibit the harmonic motion of the system and to ...

Abstract: A classical method for obtaining the exact natural frequencies, natural modes, orthogonality relation and response due to arbitrary loading of undamped beam‐oscillator systems presented earlier by the writers is extended ...

Abstract: The problem of calculating the second moment characteristics of the response of a general class of nonconservative linear distributed parameter systems with stochastically varying surface roughness, excited by a moving ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of a small-scale bridge model under a moving mass is investigated. The analysis is based on the continuous Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. By expanding the unknown structural response in a series of the ...

Abstract: The working group on bridge control within the ASCE Committee on Structural Control recently initiated a first-generation benchmark problem addressing the control of a cable-stayed bridge subjected to seismic excitation. ...
