STEADY STATE RESPONSE OF BEAMS WITH TRANSLATIONAL AND ROTATIONAL DAMPING MOTIONS AT THE SUPPORTS

摘要

Two methods of analysis are presented for the steady state response of beams with translational and rotational damping motions at the supports. The first of these methods uses a continuous model and the second uses a discrete (three-degree-of-freedom) model. Both cases are characterized by non-linear equations and approximate solutions are produced for each. Numerical results are presented giving comparisons and optimum damping configurations.
