  3. Abstract:
  4. Discrete motion equations of an Euler-Bernoulli, Timoshenko and higher-order beams under a moving mass are derived for different boundary conditions. To this end, the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) has been utilized for spatial discretization, beside the extension of Newmark-β method for time discretization of the beams motion equations. The effects of significant parameters such as the beam's slenderness and velocity of the moving mass on the maximum deflection and bending moment of different beams are studied in some details. The results indicate the existence of a critical beam's slenderness mostly as a function of beam's boundary conditions, in which for slenderness lower than this so-called critical one, the results of different beam theories are obviously distinct
