Thermally induced vibrations of beam structures

A general numerical method is developed for determining the dynamic response of beam structures to rapidly applied thermal loads. The method consists of formulating and solving the dynamic problem in the Laplace transform domain with the aid of dynamic stiffness influence coefficients defined for a beam element in that domain and of obtaining the response by a numerical inversion of the transformed solution. Thus, the solution of the associated heat conduction problem, usually obtained by Laplace transform and needed for the computation of the thermal load, can be used in its transformed form. The effects of damping and of axial compressive forces on the structural response are also studied. Three examples are presented in detail to illustrate the proposed method and demonstrate its advantages.
