Vibration and dynamic buckling of shear beam-columns on elastic foundation under moving harmonic loads

The vibration and buckling of an infinite shear beam-column, which considers the effects of shear and the axial compressive force, resting on an elastic foundation have been investigated when the system is subjected to moving loads of either constant amplitude or harmonic amplitude variation with a constant advance velocity. Damping of a linear hysteretic nature for the foundation was considered. Formulations in the transformed field domains of time and moving space were developed, and the response to moving loads of constant amplitude and the steady-state response to moving harmonic loads were obtained using a Fourier transform. Analyses were performed to examine how the shear deformation of the beam and the axial compression affect the stability and vibration of the system, and to investigate the effects of various parameters, such as the load velocity, load frequency, shear rigidity, and damping, on the deflected shape, maximum displacement, and critical values of the velocity, frequency, and axial compression. Expressions to predict the critical (resonance) velocity, critical frequency, and axial buckling force were proposed.
