Abstract

A dynamic model of vehicle-bridge interaction is presented considering the railway vehicle moving through bridge with varying velocity. Assuming the vehicle has a constant acceleration, the motion equations of coupled vehicle-bridge system were deduced based on DAlemberts principle and theory of Euler beam. Dynamic responses of system were analyzed both cases of the acceleration and drag acceleration for a moving car. Results show that the amplitudes of vibration of the system will enlarge sharply with the acceleration of vehicle increasing, and the maximum of responses occur when the vehicle moving at the middle point of bridge. In addition, the stiffness coefficient is one of the key factors to affect on dynamic responses of system. Generally, the suitable rigidity of structure is much important to decrease the responses and suppress the vibration of system.
