Models related to the moving load problems

Abstract

In this paper different mathematical models of the vehicle load are presented, depending on the one of the moving load types. In general, vehicle load models can be classified into two types: static and dynamic moving load models. Static moving load model is model with nonvarying load value and shape in time. Dynamic moving load model is defined by differential equations of motion where the road roughness function affects the solution. Due to this influence some of the differential equations cannot be solved analytically and the numerical approach has to be performed. Therefore, in this work Matlab Simulink models have been developed to solve this problem. Validation of Simulink models is carried out and presented for all analysed dynamic moving load models.
