Abstract
The wave processes in a semi-infinite rod located in an elastic medium and subjected to a point load moving at a constant velocity are considered. The system of two differential equations of motion of Timoshenko beam theory is solved using the Laplace transform in time. The integrals obtained are determined numerically. Variation of the bending moment on the longitudinal coordinate behind the elastic-wave front and the region of action of the point force at various times is shown. The results of the solution are influence functions.
