Abstract:

Complex modes and traveling waves in axially moving Timoshenko beams are studied. Due to the axially moving velocity, complex modes emerge instead of real value modes. Correspondingly, traveling waves are present for the axially moving material while standing waves dominate in the traditional static structures. The analytical results obtained in this study are verified with a numerical differential quadrature method.

Key words: adaptivc mesh, finite element, error estimation, axially moving Timoshenko beam, traveling wave, complex mode
