Several dynamic models are proposed for the contact analysis of a tensioned beam with a moving oscillator. Depending on whether the strain and stress used to derive the equations of motion are nonlinear, four models are established to analyze the beam deflections and the contact force between the beam and moving oscillator. We find that the differences in the contact forces and deflections computed with the models become large as the beam tension and moving velocity decrease and the natural frequency ratio of the oscillator to the beam increases. The nonlinear model derived with nonlinear strain and stress is desirable for an accurate analysis.
