Approximate evaluation of integrals
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
Asymptotic and numerical analysis provides essential insight into the behaviour of Fourier integral solutions for the deflexion of an infinite continuously-supported flexible plate due to moving load. Thus we can define in detail how the plate deflexion depends upon the load speed, including (a) the wave patterns generated by a load moving steadily at various supercritical speeds; and (b) the time-dependent behaviour of the deflexion due to an impulsively-started load, where the two-dimensional response tends to a steady state except at the critical speed, when it grows continuously with time (in the absence of dissipation).
