  6. 40. Vibration Control of a High-Speed Railway Bridge Using Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Heydar Beygi; [2015]
    Keywords : Tuned mass dampers; Dynamic analysis; high-speed railway bridge; Banafjäl bridge;

    Abstract : In the current thesis, the Banafjäl Bridge located on the Bothnia line (Botniabanan) in northern Sweden was studied. The bridge is a 40m long composite ballasted high-speed railway bridge. A 3D FE model of the bridge was developed using a commercial FE software, Abaqus. The FE model was calibrated against the measured data of the bridge. READ MORE
