Abstract
A theory concerning the dynamic response of two identical simply supported Rayleigh beams viscoelastically connected together by a flexible core and traversed by a concentrated moving load is developed in this paper. The solution technique employed is based on finite Fourier and Laplace integral transformations. It is observed that the maximum amplitude of the deflection of the upper beam increases with an increase in the value of the rotatory inertia while the maximum amplitude of deflection of the lower beam decreases with increasing values of rotatory inertia.
