Use of equivalent beam models for the dynamic analyses of beamplates under moving forces
TL;DR: In this article, a 1-dimensional equivalent beam model was proposed to predict the dynamic behavior of a 2-D beamplate due to a moving line load, where the magnitude of the single load, F b, is not necessarily equal to the summation of the line-load components, ∑i=1kPi.

Some practical applications of the use of scale independent elements for dynamic analysis of vibrating systems
TL;DR: A theory is developed for the analysis of systems which are uniform along a single coordinate axis, but otherwise arbitrary in geometry and material composition, that is capable of bridging the gap to frequency regimes where statistical energy methods become applicable.

Panel flutter optimization—a refined finite element approach
TL;DR: In this article, a refined finite element technique is used to model the panel flutter equilibrium equations, equations which act as constraints on the design search, and the results of the study show that the weight savings and material distribution found with an effective finite element model are comparable to those found by more complicated numerical methods.
