Modeling of the Dynamic Interactions of the Vehicles and Structures

This work presents the mathematical model of a system that have a vehicle running on a structure (bridge). We use the Bond Graphs technique that, through a generalized approach, make possible the individual representation to each subsystem (Vehicle and bridge structure). Using this methodology we can construct the graph for whole system, permitting then the knowledge of the interaction between the two models. We show some simulation results that permit the development of designs to each subsystem by changing theirs parameters.
