A Survey on Buckling and Vibrations of a Viscoelastic Beam under Distributed Lateral and Axial Loads
In this paper, based on Kelvin and Linear Standard Solid models, dynamic response and the buckling load of a viscoelastic beam under lateral and axial loads have been determined. The governing equations have been extracted using Euler and Timoshenko theories and their analytical solutions have been obtained by using the eigenfunctions expansion method. Buckling load have been calculated by us...
متن کاملFootbridge Response on Single Pedestrian Induced Vibration Analysis
Many footbridges have natural frequencies that coincide with the dominant frequencies of the pedestrian-induced load and therefore they have a potential to suffer excessive vibrations under dynamic loads induced by pedestrians. Some of the design standards introduce load models for pedestrian loads applicable for simple structures. Load modeling for more complex structures, on the other hand, i...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Suspension Footbridges Using an Actual Pedestrian Load Model Compared with EUR23984 EN Requirements
The suspension footbridges are very flexible due to their geometrical structure; hence they may face severe vibration problems induced mainly by natural forces and pedestrians crossing. By exceeding a certain limit, these vibrations can disturb the serviceability of the bridge as well as health and safety of the structure and pedestrians. Therefore, standard design guidelines are sets of recomm...
متن کاملImplementation of an Active Mass Damper to Control Vibrations in a “lively” Footbridge
This paper describes the work involving a real implementation of an active control system to reduce vibrations in a “lively” footbridge located at FEUP. This structure has some natural frequencies around 2Hz which can be easily excited by some pedestrian activities. Although the levels of vibration may not be considered excessive according to some design codes, this footbridge experiments regul...
متن کاملInvestigation of Pedestrian Walking Loads on a Cable Stayed Footbridge Using Modal Testing and Fe Model Updating
This paper describes the finite element modelling, dynamic testing and finite element model updating of a newly constructed, 35m span, cable-stayed footbridge. A numerical simulation, using an updated FE model, was conducted to evaluate the accelerations that would be induced by a walking pedestrian. The results from the simulation were compared to corresponding experimental measurements, and w...
