 Abstract:

The practical importance of dynamic response of elements of structures such as plates when load moves on them cannot be overemphasized in both engineering and applied sciences. The dynamic behavior of an elastic plate resting on a subgrade and traversed by uniform partially distributed moving load is considered in this paper and its simplified governing equations derived. The elastic plate is Mindlin rectangular plate. In particular, the model governing such moving load problem is simplified analytically. The simplified governing model derived is easier to handle. Numerical methods can easily be applied to this simplified model and a lot of computational time is saved.
