OS-V: 0330 Deep Simply-Supported Beam Transient Forced Vibration Response

Test 5T OptiStruct is used to investigate the Peak Displacement in y-direction, the time at the peak displacement, extreme fiber bending stress at undamped Natural Frequency and the Static displacement at the mid-span node.

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 suddenly applied step load F0=106 N/m is induced in the y-direction. For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes at a time step of 0.0001 secs and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1=5.36 and α2=7.46×10-5 at a time step of 0.0001 secs are given.

The material properties are:
