Model Bridge Span Traversed by a Heavy Mass: Analysis and Experimental Verification

In this work, we investigate the transient response of a model bridge traversed by a heavy mass moving with constant velocity. Two response regimes are identified, namely forced vibrations followed by free vibrations as the moving mass goes past the far support of the simply supported span of the br...
