摘要：
This paper presents a new formulation for analyzing a beam on elastic supports traveling on irregular profiles. The model is a first approximation of a passenger railway vehicle car body. The main difference with previous works is the use of a complex modulus to represent structural damping rather than relying on equivalent viscous terms. The formulation groups rigid body modes with flexible modes and proposes a matrix form that is easy to interpret and solve in the frequency domain. Comfort indexes are readily obtained from weighted response spectral densities. The model is used to assess the influence of structural damping and stiffness on comfort. It will be shown that the evolution of comfort with stiffness is non-monotonic and, therefore, comfort does not always improve as stiffness increases.
