Effects of dead loads on dynamic analyses of beams

Hideo Takabatake

Abstract

The effect of dead loads on dynamic responses of uniform elastic beams is examined by means of a governing equation which takes into account initial bending stress due to dead loads. First, the governing equation of beams which includes the effect of dead loads is briefly presented from the author

Key Words
