Pedestrian Walking Bridge – Uncertainty Quantification
Application ID: 148671
A highly simplified pedestrian bridge is for simplicity imagined to consists of a concrete slab on supported by three I-beams. The design is to be evaluated for peak acceleration due to walking. The model analyzes uncertainty in peak acceleration due to some material damping properties and dimensions. Furthermore, a full transient analysis is done which includes a time a spatial dependent force representing footstep traffic.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
