Transverse Response of an Axially Moving Beam with Intermediate Viscoelastic Support

This study presented the transverse vibration of an axially moving beam with an intermediate nonlinear viscoelastic foundation. Hamilton’s principle was used to derive the nonlinear equations of motion. The finite difference and state-space methods transform the partial differential equations into a system of coupled first-order regular differential equations. The numerical modeling procedures are utilized for evaluating the effects of...
