Yang Y.B., Yau J.D., Wu Y.S. Vehicle-Bridge Interaction Dynamics: With Applications To High-Speed Railways

World Scientific Publishing, 2004. — 565 p. — ISBN: 9812388478 9789812388476.This book provides an up-to-date coverage of research conducted on various aspects of the VBI problems. Using the series of VBI elements derived, the authors study a number of frontier problems, including the impact response of bridges with elastic bearings, the dynamic respose of curved beam to moving centrifugal forces, the stability and derailment of trains moving over bridges shaken by earthquakes, the impact response of two trains crossing on a bridge, the steady-state response of trains moving over elevated bridges, and so on.This book is unique in that it is devoted entirely to the interaction between the supporting bridges and moving trains, the so-called vehicleâ€bridge interaction (VBI). Finite element procedures have been developed to treat interaction problems of various complexities, while the analytical solutions established for some typical problems are helpful for identifying the key parameters involved. Besides, some field tests were coducted to verify the theories established.Moving Load Problems
