Abstract
This article extends a procedure that has been used to
discretize a static physical system following the assumption
that a continues flexible beam can be replaced by a system of
rigid bars and joints which resist relative rotation of the
attached bars. This procedure is called "discrete element
response of beams". The object of this paper is to present
and formulate a new, simple, practical and inexpensive
approximate technique for determining the response of beams
with different boundary conditions, carrying a moving mass
on a tensionless elastic foundation, which usually ends in
very complicated nonlinear differential equations.
