A 10' long, simply-supported beam simulating a damped oscillator.
- Material modulus of elasticity, E = 30,000 ksi
- Section moment of inertia, Iz = 120 in4
- Weight applied at mid-span, Fy = 3.86 kips
A steady state analysis is performed for the harmonic forcing function 7000 sin 60t with the forcing frequency = ω = 60 rad/sec = 9.5493 cyc/sec & the magnitude = 7000 lb = 7 kip applied at the midpoint of the beam. Damping is considered for this problem and the value of 0.1 is specified.
