Dynamic response of curved Timoshenko beams resting on viscoelastic foundation
Faruk Firat Calim

 
Abstract
    Curved beams\' dynamic behavior on viscoelastic foundation is the subject of the current paper. By rewritten the Timoshenko beams theory formulation for the curved and twisted spatial rods, governing equations are obtained for the circular beams on viscoelastic foundation. Using the complementary functions method (CFM), in Laplace domain, an ordinary differential equation is solved and then those results are transformed to real space by Durbin\'s algorithm. Verification of the proposed method is illustrated by solving an example by variating foundation parameters.
