Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle-bridge coupling dynamics, and in particular to a method for calculating long-span arch bridge-vehicle spatial coupling dynamics. Background Art
[0002] Long-span arch bridges are widely used worldwide for their reasonable cost, high bearing capacity, and excellent seismic performance. However, the light weight and low stiffness of the bridge deck structure make it prone to vibration under external excitation, especially for mid-through and through-type long-span arch bridges. Furthermore, vehicles traveling on the bridge deck, affected by deck deformation and road surface unevenness, will generate coupled vibrations with the bridge. This dynamic variation in vehicle loads increases the dynamic complexity of the vehicle-bridge system, impacting bridge fatigue durability, vehicle ride comfort, and driving safety, posing challenges to the design, optimization, and condition assessment of long-span arch bridges. Therefore, studying the dynamics of long-span arch bridge-vehicle coupling systems is of great significance. Due to the structural complexity of long-span arch bridges, the mainstream research approach is to use commercial software to develop numerical models of vehicle-bridge coupling systems. However, these approaches suffer from complex model parameterization, difficulty integrating with intelligent optimization algorithms, and time-consuming solution times. Furthermore, existing theoretical models simplify spatial structures into planar structures and lack theoretical models for long-span arch bridge-vehicle coupling dynamics that address the spatial characteristics of vehicle loads and consider the torsional vibrations of the bridge. This hinders the study of the coupling mechanism of long-span arch bridges with vehicles.
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method for calculating the spatial coupling dynamics of large-span arch bridges and vehicles. This method will promote the development of vehicle-bridge coupling vibration control technology, improve the efficiency and reliability of large-span arch bridge-vehicle spatial coupling dynamics calculations, provide theoretical support for the design optimization of large-span arch bridges, fill the gaps in related technologies, promote the development of coupling dynamics theory, and at the same time have great social and economic benefits.
