Dear Experts
I'm modeling moving force, mass and oscillator on a beam and attach the CAE file for my model (a case for moving oscillation).
My model is composed of a 2D wire beam and two 2D reference points.
One reference point (point 1) slides on the beam surface (node to surface...
Dear experts
I'm modeling moving load and mass on a euler beam in 2D.
Do I can put gravity on point mass?
I have done a moving load problem but, I have no idea on moving mass.
If I can apply gravity on the point, I can do that. but, it didn't work at all.
Could you let me know?
Thanks
To be honest, I don't know how can I model moving mass and oscillator on a wire beam. There is no specific reason.
If you know how to model it, could you give me some ideas? I think moving load is not difficult but, how can I move mass on a wire beam?
Please help...
Thank you for comments. This is for a research purpose. I'm modeling moving force, mass and oscillator on a beam to simulate moving cars on the bridge.
I know several people already have worked on this topic but, I want to compare FEM results with theoretical equations (closed form solutions)...
Thanks for, sdebock. Your answer is really helpful for me. I just want to make a Euler beam model with solid elements, no more or no less. Is there way that I can put constraints or boundary conditions so that my "solid" beam model behave like Euler beam?
Hi Experts
I'm modeling a simply-supported beam structure and computing natural frequency. I got natural frequencies of the beam similar to analytic solutions using wire-beam element. However, I don't know how I can model it with solid elements. The assumption for Euler-Bernoulli beam is the...
