A study of dynamic characteristics of Vehicle-Bridge System (VBS)
Abstract
According to the contact relations between the wheel and the track, the dynamic equilibrium equations of a Vehicle-Bridge System (VBS ) have been derived in this paper, and a simply supported railway steel truss bridge is studied as an example to work out the dynamic charateristics of the VBS. Besides, the frequencies and the modes of vibration of the bridge and a single vehicle are also calculated, respectively.
