Abstract:
Wave processes in a semi-infinite rod located in an elastic medium under pulsed loading by an external distributed force are considered. A system of two differential equations of motion of Timoshenko’s beam theory is solved with the use of the Laplace transform in time. The resultant integrals are determined numerically. The changes in bending and bending moment over the longitudinal coordinate at different times are demonstrated.
Keywords:stress and strain waves, rod, Laplace transform.
