Elastic interaction effect commonly exists in the assembly of multi-bolted joint. It is defined as loss tension forces some bolts due to progressively tightening neighboring bolts. Main cable clamp a large size bolted joint used suspension bridge. Investigation on bolt has seldom been reported. This article presents field experiment study tightening. In experiment, three types and sequences wer...

Abstract In this paper, we study a plate equation as model for suspension bridge with time-varying delay and weights. Under some conditions on the weight functions, establish stability result associated energy functional. The present work extends generalizes similar results in case of wave or equations.

The finite element model of suspension bridge was established according to the actual engineering in Southwest area China. In order simulate random ground motion accurately and efficiently, orthogonal function modeling method based on Priestley evolution spectrum theory is adopted. dimensionality reduction simulation realized, simulated samples are input into carry out time history analysis. Fi...
