Dynamic interaction analysis of vehicle-bridge system using transfer matrix method
Tianyu Xiang and Renda Zhao

 
Abstract
    The dynamic interaction of vehicle-bridge is studied by using transfer matrix method in this paper. The vehicle model is simplified as a spring-damping-mass system. By adopting the idea of Newmark-b method, the partial differential equation of structure vibration is transformed into a differential equation irrelevant to time. Then, this differential equation is solved by transfer matrix method. The prospective application of this method in real engineering is finally demonstrated by several examples.
 
Key Words
