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 [...]

Dynamic programming is a recognized technique for solving the moving force identification problem and has as merits its efficiency and the flexibility it offers regarding [...]

Localizing and quantifying potential damage in large and complex structures is one of the most challenging problems in structural health monitoring. Vibration-based finit [...]

This paper investigates the dynamic effect of the train-bridge interaction on the bridge. The results of a moving load model are compared to those of an analysis of dynam [...]

The present contribution evaluates the dynamic behaviour of a slender steel footbridge before and after installation of two Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). The experimental st [...]

A numerical prediction model for road traffic induced vibrations is developed. Dynamic soilstructure interaction at the source and the structure is accounted for. The � [...]
