Thanks for the reply timthereaper. I have attached a figure showing my problem. I know if I consider this system as a single degree of freedom system then an analytical solution is possible. For a multi-degree-of-freedom system, I think I'll need to work it out numerically. Using mode...

Hi All, I am trying to get an analytical solution to a contact problem with dynamic loading. I am not sure if an analytical solution of such a problem is possible. Here how the problem is: A cantilever beam, with its free end resting on a smooth plane, is under harmonic loading f(t)...

Im sorry but does this question sound like a home work one? How can I delete this thread from here?

Hi, I am trying to do a vibration analysis of a cantilever beam in contact with Earth (in ABAQUS). Now I need to match these results with the analytiocal solution. Could any of you guide me any paper or book where this klind of a problem is solved. So basically I am looking for the...
