The effectiveness of passive multiple-tuned mass friction dampers (P-MTMFDs) over a
single passive-tuned mass friction damper (P-TMFD) is investigated. The governing …

This paper presents a novel, non-iterative, general formulation for the transient analysis of
interacting elastodynamic systems in contact that may exhibit relative motion with respect to …

Railway tracks are traditionally modelled as infinitely long beam on elastic foundation. In the
present study, the combined effect of foundation nonlinearity and the spatial variation of …

This study investigates the dynamic behaviour of a hinge-connected ribbon floating bridge.
A finite element program was used to simulate the displacement of the floating bridge when …

The dynamic analysis of the vehicle-structure interactions can be extremely computationally
expensive. A general non-iterative coupling algorithm based on the substructure approach …

A new method to determine the dynamic interaction between the train and track has been
presented. The train and the track are considered as different subsystems. The subsystems …
