Semi-analytical solution for a problem of a uniformly moving oscillator on an infinite beam on a two-parameter visco-elastic foundation

Transverse vibrations obtained for infinite beams are validated by analyses on long finite beams, exploiting a program written in Matlab software, that was previously validated by finite element software LS-DYNA. The effects of the normal force, Pasternak modulus, harmonic component of the vertical force and foundation damping are discussed.
