Benchmark Model

Timoshenko beam and Engineer’s beam elements are used to model the simply-supported beam which consists of 10 elements. The displacements in x, y, and z direction, as well as the rotation in x direction are fixed at end A. In addition, the displacements in y and z direction are constrained at end B. A steady-state random force with uniform power spectral density (of force) PSD = (106 N/m)2/Hz is induced in the y-direction. For modal analysis solution, a damping ratio of 0.02 is applied in all 16 modes and for direct solution, Rayleigh damping factor α1 = 5.36 and α2 = 7.46×10-5 are given.

The material properties are:
