An analytical series solution has been developed for the case when the beam cross-section is symmetrical so that it resides in a plane during the motion. The moving force is assumed to be a singular force sliding through the length of the beam with constant speed while its direction always pointing in the principal normal of the curved shape of the beam. After developing the general solution for any plane beam, example computations were carried out on a specific example by means of power series expansion.}, number={32}, publisher={Osman SAĞDIÇ}
