This paper presents the dynamic response of Bernoulli-Euler homogeneous isotropic fractionally-damped simply-supported beam. The beam is attached to multi single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) fractionally-damped systems, and it is subjected to a vehicle moving with a constant velocity. The damping characteristics of the beam and SDOF systems are described in terms of fractional derivatives. Three coupled second-order fractional differential equations are produced and then they are solved by combining the Laplace transform with the decomposition method. The obtained numerical results show that the dynamic response decreases as (a) the number of absorbers attached to the beam increases and (b) the damping-ratios of used absorbers and beam increase. However, there are some critical values of fractional derivatives which are different from unity at which the beam has less dynamic response than that obtained for the full-order derivatives model. Furthermore, the obtained results show very good agreements with special case studies that were published in the literature.

The dynamic response of Bernoulli-Euler homogeneous isotropic fractionally-damped simply-supported beam is investigated. The beam is appended at its mid-span by a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) fractionally-damped oscillator. The beam is further subjected to a vehicle modeled as a spring-dashpot system moves with a constant velocity over the beam. Hence, the damping characteristics of the beam and SDOF attached-oscillator are formally described in terms of fractional derivatives of arbitrary orders. In the analysis, the beam, SDOF oscillator, and the vehicle are assumed to be initially at rest. A system of three coupled differential equations is produced. These equations are handled by combining the Laplace transform with the Born series. Thereafter, curves are plotted to show the effect of the moving vehicle and the fractional derivatives behavior on the dynamic response of the beam. The numerical results show that the dynamic response decreases as the damping-ratios of the used absorber and beam increase. However, there are some optimal values of fractional derivative orders which are different from unity at which the beam has less dynamic response than that obtained for the full-order derivative model. A comparison between the moving load and moving vehicle shows a significant reduction in the beam dynamic response in the case when vehicle is compared with the running load.

This paper presents the transverse vibration of Bernoulli-Euler homogeneous isotropic damped beams with general boundary conditions. The beams are assumed to be subjected to a load moving at a uniform velocity. The damping characteristics of the beams are described in terms of fractional derivatives of arbitrary orders. In the analysis where initial conditions are assumed to be homogeneous, the Laplace transform cooperates with the decomposition method to obtain the analytical solution of the investigated problems. Subsequently, curves are plotted to show the dynamic response of different beams under different sets of parameters including different orders of fractional derivatives. The curves reveal that the dynamic response increases as the order of fractional derivative increases. Furthermore, as the order of the fractional derivative increases the peak of the dynamic deflection shifts to the right, this yields that the smaller the order of the fractional derivative, the more oscillations the beam suffers. The results obtained in this paper closely match the results of papers in the literature review.

We consider the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom system having two-sided amplitude constraints. The model consists of a piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to nonharmonic excitation. A simple impact rule employing a coefficient of restitution is used to characterize the almost instantaneous behavior of impact at the constraints. In this paper periodic and chaotic motions are found. The amplitude and stability of the periodic responses are determined and bifurcation analysis for these motions is carried out. Chaotic motions are found to exist over ranges of forcing periods.

We consider the dynamic response of a single degree of freedom system with preloaded, or “setup,” springs. This is a simple model for systems where preload is used to suppress vibrations. The springs are taken to be linear and harmonic excitation is applied; damping is assumed to be of linear viscous type. Using the piecewise linear features of the model equations we determine the amplitude and stability of the periodic responses and carry out a bifurcation analysis for these motions. Some parameter regions which contain no simple stable periodic motions are shown to possess chaotic motions.

An efficient method for compensating the effects of the truncated higher modes in structural dynamics modification (SDM) is developed to predict the accurate modal parameters of locally modified structures. The effects of the truncated higher modes are represented by a fictitious, effective mode residing beyond the frequency range of interest. The modal parameters are then easily obtained by the iterative single degree-of-freedom curve-fitting technique developed for lightly damped systems. A numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the improved SDM technique.

The response of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structure can be correlated to the response of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system, implying that the response is controlled by a single, unchanged mode shape. This equivalent SDOF method is eminent as an approximate method of dynamic analysis. In this study, equivalent SDOF method analysis is carried out on RC cantilever beam subjected to dynamic blast loading to review the transformation factors (TFs) provided by TM5-1300 code.

When a ship is moving through another ship moored nearby, hydrodynamic interactions between these ships result in movements of the moored vessel. The movement may occur as surge, sway, and/or yaw. When a ship is passing a moored vessel parallelly, this effect will give a dominant lateral force on the moored ship and response from this phenomenon will appear in a certain time. Only dynamic response due to sway force is considered in this study, the sway force shall be absorb by the breasting dolphin. 40,000 DWT shall be moored to the breasting dolphin. Three passing ships size are considered, the breasting dolphin shall be modeled as a single degree of freedom model. This model will be subjected to a force caused by parallel passing ship. The model is assumed to be in a state of quiet water, this assumption is taken so that the fluid does not provide additional force on the model. The SDOF system shall be analyzed using a computer program designed to solve an ordinary differential equation.
