In this study, the finite element method (FEM) is used to investigate the dynamic response of continuous girder bridge due to moving three-axle vehicle . Vertical reaction forces of axles that change with time make bending vibration of girder significantly  increase. The braking in the first span is able to create response in other spans. In addition, the dynamic impact factors are investigated by both FEM and experiment for Hoa Xuan bridge. The results of this study provide an improved understanding of the bridge dynamic behavior and can be used as additional references for bridge codes by practicing engineers.

In this article, finite element method is used to analyze the properties of the reactor core under seismic load, and redesign the center assemblies to resist deformation and impact force. The result shows that the maximum force on the lug boss is decreased while the springs are applied.

Indirect impact force identification has attracted researchers due to the simplicity of indirect methods for calculating the applied force during the impact incident. In this paper, an impact force identification method for rod structures is proposed. The proposed method uses the spectral finite element method. The spectral finite element method is a frequency-based finite element method that takes advantage of the benefits of spectral methods and the simplicity of the finite element method. Using the frequency domain method for impact force identification simplifies the calculations and allows for the identification of impact forces with high frequency content, including MHz and above. The impact force identification method uses the collected data of the response of a section of the structure and utilizes the spectral finite element model of the structure to calculate the impact force. The results of the numerical study display strong agreement between the simulated impact force and the identified force. The performance of the force identification method is verified by applying it to experimental data collected from an impacted rod structure.
