Abstract
This paper compares a numerical method and a semi-analytical method for determining the dynamic responses of a simply supported inclined beam under a moving vertical point load. The numerical method uses the finite element method to discretize the beam. The semi-analytical method makes use of the Fourier series for the vibration mode shape of the inclined beam. For the time domain, both methods involve some numerical time integration schemes to capture the dynamic response of the beam. By comparing the results, both methods furnish similar results. However, the numerical method can be easily applied for complicated multiple moving loads whilst the semi-analytical method provides better insightful information on the dynamic response such as the parameters influencing the exciting frequencies.
