Gravity and Dynamic Response of Vertical Beams
Publication: Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division
Volume 107, Issue 5
Abstract
The influence of the gravity forces upon the steady state and transient dynamic response of vertical beams is examined. Both the shear and Euler-Bernoulli (moment) type of beam models are reformulated with the gravity load included. The calculated response of such models show that the gravity effect lowers the resonant frequencies of the system. For transient excitations with predominant frequencies less than the fundamental frequency of the beam, the frequency response of a beam including gravity can be approximated from the nongravity response curve.
