This paper studies the efficiency of subgrade stiffening next to the track as a mitigation measure for railway induced vibrations. A computationally efficient two-and-a-h [...]

Numerical simulations have been carried out with a two-and-a-half dimensional coupled finite element - boundary element methodology to assess the effectiveness of a sheet [...]

The Palmas Altas footbridge is a recently built bridge in Sevilla (Spain) designed by architect Richard Rogers. It is a 78.6m long steel-concrete box girder. The bridge h [...]

Wind induced ovalling vibrations were observed during a storm in October 2002 on several empty silos of a closely spaced group consisting of 8 by 5 thin-walled silos in t [...]

This paper discusses the coupling of finite element and fast boundary element methods based on hierarchical matrices to solve problems of visco–elastodynamic wave propa [...]

A 3D inertial motion tracking technique, originating from the movement science and entertainement industry, is applied for the analysis of the walking behaviour of pedest [...]

Ground borne vibration in buildings due to railway traffic is a major concern in densely built up areas. In practice, railway induced vibration is often predicted by mean [...]

The problem of jointly estimating the input forces and states of a structure from a limited number of acceleration measurements is addressed. Utilizing a model-based join [...]

This paper presents a general 2.5D coupled finite element – boundary element methodology for the computation of the dynamic interaction between a layered soil and longi [...]

This paper presents a numerical study of vibrations due to a Thalys high speed train in the Groene Hart tunnel. The Groene Hart tunnel is part of the high speed link Sout [...]
