A Differential Quadrature Procedure with Direct Projection of the Heaviside Function for Numerical Solution of Moving Load Problem

Abstract Owing to its particular characteristics, the direct discretization of the Dirac-delta function is not feasible when point discretization methods like the differential quadrature method (DQM) are applied. A way for overcoming this difficulty is to approximate (or regularize) the Dirac-delta...
