Influence of the behavior of nonlinear viscoelastic systems bearing on the dynamics of bridge structures

Abstract

Modern structures of bridges and viaducts require dynamic isolation systems, designed to eliminate or mitigate the destructive effects of intense traffic and seismic activity on these constructions. This paper studies the problem of viscoelastic type systems bearing in terms of viscoelastic links after wear viscoelastic elements were envisaged. It will demonstrate, in theory, the connection between the behaviors of viscoelastic nonlinear systems and the modification of kinematic and energy parameters of structure dynamic response loading by force pulse.
