Bending vibration of beam elements under moving loads with considering vehicle braking forces

Abstract

The study of fluctuations of structures in general and bridge structures in particular under the influence of moving loads considering the impact of vehicle braking forces draws the attention of many scientists. However, due to the complexity of this problem a static method has been so far applied
for approximate calculation in   bridge design standards. In this article the author introduces   the equation of bending vibrations of beam elements according to the model of dynamic interaction between beam elements and moving vehicle loads considering vehicle braking forces.

Key words: bending vibration, braking force, moving load.
