Scanning and separating vertical and torsional-flexural frequencies of thin-walled girder bridges by a single-axle test vehicle

H. Xu et al.

Summary: An effective procedure is proposed for scanning and separating the vertical and torsional-flexural frequencies of thin-walled girder bridges. The technique utilizes a moving single-axle test vehicle and the contact responses between the wheels and the bridge. The results show that the proposed procedure is successful in separating the frequencies even in the presence of pavement roughness, making it useful for field applications.

Generation of Surface Roughness Profiles for Inclusion in Vehicle-Bridge Interaction Analysis and Test Application

H. Xu et al.

Summary: This study addresses the issue of unrealistic high-frequency oscillation caused by modeling vehicle wheels as a point on rough pavement. A disk model is proposed to avoid this problem, but it introduces complexity to the vehicle-bridge interaction analysis. A refined roughness formula is developed to account for the wheel size effect, allowing the use of the simpler point model. Two countermeasures, residual response and traffic flows, are suggested to mitigate the masking effect of low-frequency roughness on bridge scanning.

Recovering mode shapes of curved bridges by a scanning vehicle

Y. B. Yang et al.

Summary: The contribution of this paper is the first-time recovery of the vertical and radial mode shapes of curved bridges from the contact responses of a single-axle scanning vehicle using the variational mode decomposition (VMD) and syn-chrosqueezed wavelet transform (SWT). The test vehicle is modeled as a three degree-of-freedom (DOF) system to capture both vertical and radial vibrations. Closed-form solutions are derived for the out-of-plane and in-plane vibrations of the curved beam, and a unified formula is derived for calculating the vertical and radial contact responses. The VMD and SWT techniques are employed to process the contact responses and generate the mode shapes.

Mode shape construction for bridges from contact responses of a two-axle test vehicle by wavelet transform

H. Xu et al.

Summary: Wavelet transform (WT) is theoretically studied for recovering the bridge mode shapes from a passing two-axle test vehicle by using the correlation between the front and rear contact points. Closed-form solution is derived for the bridge's dynamic response, and the wheel-bridge contact responses are used instead of vehicle responses to avoid masking effect. The WT is employed to obtain the ridges of the bridge component response, and the mode shapes are retrieved based on the correlation between the front and rear contact points. Conclusions include the effectiveness of contact responses for frequency extraction, successful use of WT for constructing bridge mode shapes, robustness of proposed procedures for calculating contact responses and recovering mode shapes, and good performance even in the presence of pavement roughness with traffic.

Automatically Extracting Bridge Frequencies Using SSA and K-Means Clustering from Vehicle-Scanned Accelerations

Y. B. Yang et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a technique for automatically identifying bridge frequencies using singularity spectrum analysis and K-means clustering, which removes subjective judgment. The technique avoids the adverse effect of vehicle frequency by processing the vehicle-bridge contact-point acceleration signal and extracts peak frequencies using principal component analysis and FFT. The peak frequencies are then grouped using K-means clustering to obtain the bridge frequencies.

Recent Advances in Researches on Vehicle Scanning Method for Bridges

Z. L. Wang et al.

Summary: The vehicle scanning method (VSM) is an indirect approach for bridge measurement that does not require sensors to be mounted on the bridge but only on the test vehicle. It has been extensively applied in various aspects of bridge measurement, such as construction of mode shapes, identification of damping ratios, and detection of damages. The indirect method offers advantages in terms of mobility, economy, and efficiency compared to the conventional direct method. The VSM has seen significant growth in research, with lab experiments, field tests, and the incorporation of modern devices enhancing its capabilities.

General contact response of single-axle two-mass test vehicles for scanning bridge frequencies considering suspension effect

H. Xu et al.

Summary: This paper derives a general formula for the contact response of a single-axle, two-mass test vehicle considering the suspension effect, which can be applied to various beam-type bridges. The use of vehicle-bridge contact response can overcome the problem of bridge frequencies being masked by the vehicle's self frequencies. Closed-form solutions for the vehicle's body, wheel, and contact responses are newly derived, treating the test vehicle as a two degree-of-freedom model with suspension effect. The parametric study shows that the proposed formula is more effective for frequency extraction compared to the vehicle response, and the contact response is able to detect the first few frequencies of the bridge.

Optimum Parameters for Large Mass Ratio TMDs Using Frequency Response Function

Mahmood Yahyai et al.

Summary: The paper presents a new approach for optimal design of structures with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) with large mass ratios, aiming to minimize the frequency response function (FRF) of displacement response and achieve equal modal damping ratios in the first and second modes of vibration. Two regression equations are proposed to predict the optimal TMD properties, and it is found that choosing the suggested TMD parameters can lead to up to a 94% reduction in the maximum FRF of structural displacement.

Theoretical vehicle bridge interaction model for bridges with non-simply supported boundary conditions

Zhenhua Shi et al.

Summary: This paper presents mathematical models for various non-simply supported boundary conditions and analyzes the effects of different vehicle parameters on extracting multiple bridge frequencies. Several phenomena such as signal drift on acceleration responses and camel hump phenomenon on Fast Fourier analysis of acceleration signals are observed. Results show that higher vehicle frequency is preferred and lower vehicle speed parameter is recommended to reduce undesirable phenomena. Vehicle mass and damping parameter have little effect on the extraction of multiple bridge frequencies.
