Abstract Catastrophic natural disasters like earthquakes can cause infrastructure damage. Emergency response agencies need to assess damage precisely while repeating this process for infrastructures with different shapes and types. The authors aim for an autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform equipped with a 3D LiDAR sensor to ...

Dynamic factor (DF) is an important indicator for describing the dynamic action of a train on a bridge. For small‐ and medium‐span bridges, although existing research and codes have studied and specified the DF of steel–concrete composite beam bridges, few studies have been refined to steel‐plate–concrete composite beam bridges (SPCCBs), and the effect

For large‐scale complex nonconservative systems such as high‐speed rolling stock, the rigid‐flex coupling simulation technique is one of the effective methods in reducing lateral vibration and dynamic load sensitivity. Since two uncertain influences of wheel spin dissipation are caused by wheelset yaw oscillations and alternative load path variation ...
