Abstract: With the expanding availability of computer facilities in the universities, there seems to be a growing trend to emphasize the use of large computer codes, originated as general purpose commercial software and for research ...

Abstract: A dynamic analysis of stresses and deflections induced by moving vehicles and by linear temperature variations in airport pavements which lie on viscoelastic foundations is presented. The increasing demand for heavier loads ...

Abstract: A train–rail–bridge (TRB) interaction model of vector mechanics (VM) is developed to predict the derailment of a train traveling over cable-supported bridges under crosswinds. The aerodynamic coefficients measured from the ...
