Abstract

Abstract

Dynamic response of beam-like structures to moving vehicles has been extensively studied.However,the study on dynamic response of plates to moving vehicles has so far received but scant attention.A plate-vehicle strip for simulating the interaction between a rectangular plate and moving vehicles was described.For the portion of strips that are in direct contact with the moving vehicles,the plate-vehicle strips were empolyed.Conventional plate finite strips were used to model the portion of strips that are not directly under the action of moving vehicles.In the analysis,each moving vehicle is idealized as a one-foot dynamic system with the unsprung mass and sprund mass interconnected by a spring and a dashpot.The numerical results obtained from the proposed method agree well with available results.
