Dynamic responses of a telescopic mechanism for truss structure bridge inspection vehicle under moving mass are investigated under the assumption of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Equations of motion for the telescopic mechanism are derived using the Hamilton’s principle. The equations are transformed into discretized equations by employing the Galerkin’s method. The eigenfunctions of the beams are derived based on the kinetic and dynamic boundary conditions. The time-dependent features of the eigenfunctions are taken into account. The discretized equations are solved utilizing the Newmark- β method. Numerical results are presented to explore the influence of the moving mass on the dynamic responses of the telescopic mechanism and find appropriate mass-moving strategy to avoid large vibration. The results show that the vibrations when the mass doesn’t move synchronously with the telescopic beam are not always the minimum; on the other hand, the mass moving in the same direction of the telescopic beam will bring in stronger vibration.
