Experimental Verification of Applying Active Control Method as Virtual Support for Relief Bridge by Ming-Hsiang Shih, Wen-Pei Sung

“…Test and analysis results show the following: (1) The rotation angle of the cantilever arm can be rotated by the RC servo to appropriate angles to provide adequate upwards resultant force to balance the moving load. (2) The vertical displacement of the bridge can be controlled to close to zero by this proposed NEM. (3) The maximum vertical displacement at the midpoint of a bridge with the NEM control mechanism can be controlled to far below 1/400 of the span of the bridge required by the design criteria. (4) A bridge under the control of an NEM under a low-speed moving load with various control gains achieves fine displacement reduction effects, but the displacement reduction effect for a high-speed moving load with low control gain decreases. …”
