Abstract: This work investigates the performance of a cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvester (PEH) for harvesting energy from bridge vibrations induced by moving vehicles. The bridge is simplified as a simply supported beam. ...

Abstract: The dynamic responses of a structure with different foundations, including the so-called periodic foundation, are studied. Based on the calculation and optimization regarding the band of frequency gap of a periodic structure, ...

Abstract: A drive-by method is proposed to identify the modal frequencies of railway bridges from the dynamic responses of two-axle vehicles. The theoretical closed-form solution and frequency components of the vehicle response are ...
