Benchmark Model

Timoshenko beam and Engineer’s beam elements are used to model the simply-supported beam which consists of 10 elements. The displacements in x, y, and z direction, as well as the rotation in x direction are fixed at the end A. In addition, the displacements in y and z direction are constrained at end B. A steady-state periodic forced vibration F=F0 (sin ωt-sin 3ωt) is induced in the y-direction. (F0=106 N/m uniformly distributed, ω=2ωf, f=20 Hz). For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1=5.36 and α2=7.46×10-5 are given.
