Abstract
This paper presents an analytic method of examining the out-of-plane vibrat ion of continuous curved beam on periodical supports. The orthogonality of two distinct sets of mode shape functions is derived. The forced vibration of beam due to moving loads is examined. Two types of moving loads, which a re concentrated load and uniformly distributed load, are considered. The re sponse characteristics of beam induced by these loads are investigated as w ell.
