On the multiplicity effect of an m-fold moving point load on the dynamic response of an Euler beam resting on a Kelvin foundation

Abstract

In this work the response of an elastic beam supported by viscoelastic
foundation (Winkler Model) to an external excitation (force) is investigated with particular attention to the efect of the excitation by a multipple cyclic moving load. The effect of the multiplicity of the cyclic - moving load with respect to the amplitude of vibration of the structure is examined. It was. It was observed that the multipple load system has a multiplicative effect on the condition of the resonance of the beam – moving load on the condition of the resonance of the beam – moving load system.
