Dynamic Deflection of a Bridge versus Speed of Vehicle Motion

Article Preview

Abstract:

The vehicle-bridge interaction (VBI) is the actual problem of many work places. The mid-span deflection of a bridge versus speed vehicle motion is interested from a practical point of view. Within the solution of the task the numerical methods based on Finite Element Method (FEM) are applied mainly. The task of VBI described in the submitted article is solved by using commercial software ANSYS. The 2-D sprung model of vehicle is modeled as combination of mass, spring and beam elements. The bridge with the mid-range is modeled by simple beam created with beam elements.
