A dynamic interaction model of the wind-train-bridge system considering the geometric nonlinear factors of a long-span suspension bridge is developed. A self-written program is used to compare the linear and nonlinear vibration responses of the bridge under the simultaneous action of train and wind loads. The research findings can provide references for the safe operation and maintenance of long-span bridges.
In order to study the coupling vibration between a bridge and a train under the action of crosswind loads, a dynamic interaction model of the wind-train-bridge system is established considering the geometric nonlinear factors of a long-span suspension bridge. A calculation frame is composed, and a corresponding computer program is written. A long-span highway-railway suspension bridge scheme is studied as an example. The linear and nonlinear vibration responses of the bridge under the simultaneous action of both train loads and wind loads are compared using the self-written program, and the influence of wind velocity and train speed on the dynamic responses of the bridge is studied. The results show that the large displacement nonlinearity of the structure does not influence the changing tendency of bridge displacement and acceleration time histories, but reduces the maximum values of the responses. The geometric nonlinear influence on the bridge accelerations is more obvious than that on the displacements. The natural frequencies of this long-span suspension bridge are very low and it is sensitive to wind action. The changes in train speed and average wind velocity have a great influence on the maximum value of bridge displacement, especially when the lateral deformation and acceleration increase sharply with the wind velocity, and the coupling vibration between wind, train, and the bridge can easily occur. The research results can provide references for the safe operation and maintenance of long-span bridges.
