Beam-type structures with non-uniform cross sections are widely used in mechanical, architectural, and civil engineering fields. This paper deals with dynamic characteristics and vibration problems. Governing equations are first derived by using local coordinates. Their solutions are then assumed by using Galerkin's mode summation method. Bisection method is also applied in solving the determinant of the matrix which can provide natural frequencies. Whereas finite element methods adopt admissible functions satisfying only geometric boundary condition, in this study we apply Galerkin's mode summation method which uses eigen-functions satisfying both governing equations and boundary conditions. Modal analysis and experimental tests are finally performed using simply-supported beams with four different non-uniform cross-sections. Our analytical results then show good agreement with experimental ones.

Dynamic responses of a simply supported beam with a translational spring carrying a moving mass are studied. Governing equations of motion including all the inertia effects of a moving mass are derived by employing the Galerkin's mode summation method, and solved by using the Runge-Kutta integral method. Numerical solutions for dynamic responses of a beam are obtained for various cases by changing parameters of the spring stiffness, the spring position, the mass ratio and the velocity ratio of a moving mass. Some experiments are conducted to verify the numerical results obtained. Experimental results for the dynamic responses of the test beam have a good agreement with numerical ones.

A flexible one-link robotic manipulator is modelled as a rotating cantilever beam with a hub and tip mass. An active control law is developed with consideration of the distributed flexibility of the arm. Equation of motion is derived by Hamilton's principle and, for modal control, represented as state variable form using Galerkin's mode summation method. Feedback coefficients are chosen to minimize the linear quadratic performance index(PI). To reconstruct the complete state vector from the measurements, an observer is proposed. In order to suppress vibration of the manipulator arm to desirable extent and to obtain accuracy of the positioning, weighting factor of input in PI is adjusted. Spillover effect due to the controller which controls several important modes is examined. Experiment is also performed to validate the theoretical analysis.

The paper deals with the dynamic response of non-uniform beams subjected to a moving mass. In the dynamic analysis, the effects of inertia force, elastic force, centrifugal force, Coriolis force and self weight due to moving mass are taken into account. Galerkin's mode summation method is applied for the discretized equations of notion. Numerical results for the dynamic response of the non-uniform beam under a moving mass having various magnitudes and velocities are investigated. Experimental results have a good agrement with predictions

This paper deals with dynamic response of a beam structure with discrete spring-damper supports under a moving mass. Governing equations of motion taking into account of all inertia effects of the moving mass were derived by Galerkin's mode summation method, and Runge-Kutta integration method was applied to solve the differential equations. The effects of the speed of the moving mass, spring stiffness, damping coefficient, span number of a beam structure, mass ratio of the moving mass on the dynamic response of the beam structure have been studied. Some numerical results provide design engineers for the beam structure design with discrete supports under a moving mass.

This paper deals with the linear dynamic response of an elastically restrained beam under a moving mass, where the elastic support was modelled by translational springs of variable stiffness. Governing equations of motion taking into account of all inertia effects of the moving mass were derived by Galerkin's mode summation method, and Runge-Kutta integration method was applied to solve the differential equations. The effects of the speed, the magnitude of the moving mass, stiffness and the position of the support springs on the response of the beam have been studied. A variety of numerical results allows us to draw important conclusions for structural design purposes.

The paper presents the numerical and experimental results for the dynamic response vibration of a cantilevered beam subjected to a moving mass with variable speeds. Governing equations of motion under a moving mass were derived by Galerkin's mode summation method taking into account the effects of all forces due to moving mass, and the numerical results were calculated by Runge-Kutta integration method. The effects of the speed, acceleration and the magnitude of the moving mass on the response of the beam are fully investigated. In order to verify numerical results, some experiments were conducted, and the numerical results have a little difference with the experimental ones.

This paper deals with the active vibration control of a simply-supported beam under a Moving mass using fuzzy control technique. Governing equation3 for dynamic responses of the beam under a moving mass are derived by Galerkin's mode summation method. Dynamic responses of the beam are obtained by Runge-Kutta integration method, and are compared with experimental results. For the active vibration control of the beam due to moving mass, a controller based on fuzzy logic was designed. The numerical predictions for dynamic deflections of the beam have a good agreement with the experimental results well. As for the fuzzy control of the tested beam, more than 50% reductions of dynamic deflection and residual vibrations under a moving mass are demonstrated.

This paper discusses on the dynamic responsed of an elastically restrained beam under a moving mass of constant velocity. Governing equations of motion taking into account of all inertia effects of the moving mass were derived by Galerkin's mode summation method, and Runge-Kutta integration method was applied to solve the differential equations. Numerical solutions for dynamic deflections of beams were obtained for the changes of the various parameters (spring stiffness, spring position, mass ratios and velocity ratios of the moving mass). In order to verify the numerical predictions for the dynamic response of the beam, experiments were conducted. Numerical solutions for the dynamic responses of the test beam have a good agreement with experimental ones.
