    Dynamic Modeling and Analysis of Arch Bridges Using Beam-Arch Segment Assembly

    Wei-Xin Ren1,2,3, Cong-Cong Su1, Wang-Ji Yan1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.70, No.1, pp. 67-92, 2010, DOI:10.3970/cmes.2010.070.067

    Abstract A beam-arch segment assembly procedure is presented in this paper for the dynamic modelling and analysis of arch bridges. Such a beam-arch segment assembly is composed of different structural elements of arch bridges such as arch ribs (curved beams), suspenders, girders and floor beams. Based on the energy principle in structural dynamics, the stiffness matrix and mass matrix of such an assembly are formulated. The proposed procedure is then implemented to carry out the free vibration analysis of the Jian concrete filled tubular arch bridge. It is demonstrated that the proposed beam-arch segment assembly procedure More >

    Fourier Analysis of Mode Shapes of Damaged Beams

    Kanchi Venkatesulu Reddy1, Ranjan Ganguli2

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.5, No.2, pp. 79-98, 2007, DOI:10.3970/cmc.2007.005.079

    Abstract This paper investigates the effect of damage on beams with fixed boundary conditions using Fourier analysis of the mode shapes in spatial domain. A finite element model is used to obtain the mode shapes of a damaged fixed-fixed beam. Then the damaged beams are studied using a spatial Fourier analysis. This approach contrasts with the typical time domain application of Fourier analysis for vibration problems. It is found that damage causes considerable change in the Fourier coefficients of the mode shapes. The Fourier coefficients, especially the higher harmonics, are found to be sensitive to both More >
