Railway bridge KW51 in Leuven, Belgium, has been monitored since October 2018 with the aim of validating various structural health monitoring techniques. The displacement and strain measurements on structure show a nonlinear behavior, which is attributed to friction pot bearings. This paper describes validates methodology that allows observed behavior bearings be modeled. important for understanding reproducing under combined train thermal loading as in, e.g., virtual sensing applications....
<p>Railway bridge KW51 in Leuven, Belgium, has been monitored since October 2018 with the aim of constructing a digital twin, i.e. virtual representation that mimics behaviour actual struc- ture. A linear finite element model was updated using measurements carried out on bridge. The pot bearings bridge, however, are found to behave non-linear way. This paper describes methodology account for this model, where friction is accounted by means Bouc-Wen elements. first results presented,...
