Dynamic Analysis of a Timoshenko Beam Subjected to an Accelerating Mass Using Spectral Element Method

This paper presents formulations for a Timoshenko beam subjected to an accelerating mass using spectral element method in time domain (TSEM). Vertical displacement and bending rotation of the beam were interpolated by Lagrange polynomials supported on the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) points. By usin...
