RANDOM VIBRATION OF A BEAM COLUMN.

Abstract

In this paper, the response of a uniform vertical cantilever beam to a horizontal random motion of the fixed end and a vertical load at the free end is discussed, and the space average of the mean square displacement is computed as a measure of the response. This problem, which does not appear to have been solved for random motion, may be considered a simplified model of many actual structures, e.g. the tower of suspension bridges under horizontal earthquake acceleration.
