{"title":"Application of optimized spring–mass–damper pedestrian load models for vibration assessment of footbridges: numerical and experimental investigation of a cable-stayed system","authors":"Chiara Bedon,&nbsp;Izabela Joanna Drygala,&nbsp;Joanna Maria Dulinska,&nbsp;Dorota Jasińska","doi":"10.1007/s43452-025-01117-6","DOIUrl":"10.1007/s43452-025-01117-6","url":null,"abstract":"<div><p>This article explores the potential and accuracy of spring–mass–damper (SMD) pedestrian load modelling strategies for assessing human-induced vibrations of in-service footbridges. To this aim, a recent SMD modelling proposal based on uncoupled single-body measures (SMD-0, in the following) is specifically used for the calibration of key input parameters. Finite element numerical assumptions and findings are robustly supported by original experimental tests carried out on a case-study footbridge in Poland, proving that the proposed approach can serve as an effective tool for analysing vibrations in pedestrian systems. The research study, most importantly, integrates theoretical modelling with empirical and experimental validations, to enhance the credibility of the obtained results, as well as to support the general applicability of the presented methodology. Complex in-field tests are in fact conducted on the selected footbridge, aiming to assess the effects of pedestrians on its dynamic response. Numerical analyses, which are successively performed in ABAQUS/Standard, for a set of examined walking configurations, confirm the high sensitivity of the footbridge to resonance, which was also observed during the in-field tests. The presently used SMD-0 approach is further assessed towards past SMD literature proposals. As shown, the comparison of standard structural performance indicators (such as the peak acceleration value, root mean square and CREST factor) reveals a significant sensitivity of the footbridge response to the input parameters for the analyzed SMD models. Besides, the presently addressed SMD-0 model has the advantage of being based on single-body sensor measurements and its calibration is not affected by structural features. As such, potential applications of present findings could include the improvement of design standards and safety measures for similar structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55474,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43452-025-01117-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143388801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) has become an indispensable non-conventional machining process, especially suited for intricate shaping of tough materials like ceramics and composites. This comprehensive review delves into the core mechanisms of EDM, focusing on the interplay of thermal energy and electrical discharges. The influence of dielectric fluids and cutting-edge electrode materials is highlighted for their significant role in enhancing machining performance and material removal efficiency. Various EDM techniques, including dry EDM, powder-mixed EDM, micro-EDM, and wire EDM, are explored with a particular focus on their effects on precision, surface quality, and overall material integrity. In particular, the machining of advanced ceramic composites, such as Si₃N₄–TiN and MoSi₂–SiC, is emphasized, where optimizing process parameters becomes crucial to overcoming machining challenges. Key aspects like surface roughness, the formation of recast layers, and alterations in microstructure are scrutinized for their impact on the durability and properties of the final product. The review also sheds light on advanced optimization strategies, including Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), fuzzy Multi-Objective Optimization (MO), genetic algorithms, and hybrid methods like Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Teaching–Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO). These tools are essential for boosting EDM performance, especially in applications demanding high precision. The paper ends with some observations about the expanding use of EDM in biomedical applications, especially in the manufacturing of implants and other medical devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55474,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143396534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, the formation of the EFP (explosive formed penetrator) was analyzed for the classic scattered mine system with a double EFP-shaped charge. Then, after validating the numerical results against the experiment for the static tensile test, the authors performed a numerical analysis for a protective structure made of elastomer, placed between the mine and the bottom of the protected vehicle (parallel to the ground surface). Three variants of the thickness of the rubber element from 10 to 30 mm were analyzed in order to determine the impact of the shield thickness on the EFP formation process. In the final phase, the selected system was experimentally tested on a military training ground. The results obtained indicate that the use of analyzed shielding protecting bottom part of vehicles against mines and EFPs can significantly decrease the mine penetration capability. In addition, the use of the smoothed-particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method to describe the formation of the EFP projectile allowed to take into account the highly dynamic nature of the phenomenon. A novelty in the applied study is the use of an elastomeric cover in the immediate vicinity of the mine, which limits the EFP formation process and also limits the speed of the projectile. This is crucial because the key factor determining the penetrating capabilities of EFP is the high kinetic energy of the formed projectile. Based on the research conducted, areas of potential application of this type of covers can be distinguished. These will primarily be all types of heavy, armored vehicles moving in armed conflict zones, exposed to mines/IEDs/EFPs, such as armored infantry fighting vehicles and tanks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55474,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43452-025-01121-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143361955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper fabricated in-situ <span>({text{TiB}}_{{text{w}}} {text{/Ti6Al4V(TC4)}})</span> composites with different distribution of TiB through fast hot-pressing sintering. Tensile experiments at different temperatures were conducted to elucidate the interactive effects of TiB distribution and temperature on the mechanical properties of the composites.

Additionally, room temperature in-situ tensile tests were performed on the composites with homogeneous and network-distributed TiB. The fracture mechanisms of the composites with different distributions of TiB were revealed by examining the fractography. The results showed that the composites with a homogeneous distribution of TiB exhibit brittleness at low temperatures, yet they demonstrate superior mechanical properties at high temperatures compared to those with network-distributed TiB. The small network structured composites have stronger grain refinement and higher TiB load-bearing efficiency and have better mechanical properties than the large network structured composites. At low temperature, the fractography shows that the network-distributed TiB can promote crack deflection and increase the fracture strain of the composites. However, at high temperature, the fracture modes of the composites with different distribution of TiB are similar due to the softening of the matrix.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55474,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Civil and Mechanical Engineering","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143370051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synchronization criteria are then derived from the energy integration of the motion equations. The mutual comparison of the characteristic analysis and the numerical results verifies the effectiveness of the theoretical investigation in the present paper, and the system exhibits synchronous behavior in the non-resonant region. The Sommerfeld effect near the 1st-order resonance region is explored, and the minimum supplied power frequency threshold is found for the system to pass through the capture-jump behavior. Additionally, the influence of structural parameters such as pipeline internal diameter, oscillator mass, and excitation location on the synchronization behavior of the system is discussed.

The highest improvements in stiffness (23.9% and 38.9%) and ultimate load-carrying capacity (13.6% and 29.4%) were observed for beams reinforced with steel bars. However, plasticisation in the steel occurred before wood failure. Beams reinforced with BFRP bars showed intermediate improvements in stiffness (8.2%, 14.2%) and ultimate load (9.6%, 17.5%), followed by those with GFRP bars (5.1% and 9.0%, and 6.2% and 10.7%). Most times, final failure occurred in the tension zone because of cracking at wood defects such as knots and was preceded by ductile failure in the compression zone. The entire experimental programme enabled to validate the FE model, based on the orthotropic Hill yield criterion for wood and cohesive surface for the adhesive behaviour. The proposed FE model shows the ability to predict accurately the failure load and the mid-span deflection. In addition, it can reliably forecast failure modes in both compression (upper lamella) and tension (lower lamella), as well as shear failure because of excessive shearing stresses in the adhesive.
