A study of 3D FEM traffic vibration simulator and comparison with INCE/J RTV-MODEL 2003

Recent advances in computers and software have made it possible to solve in a practical time, even for large-scale 3D FEM models, while considering road bumps and the dynamic interaction between a vehicle and the road. In this study, a 3D FEM road traffic vibration analysis was tried for flat roads, embankment road and cut road. And the results were compared with the predicted values from INCE/J RTV-MODEL 2003. These conclusions will give us useful suggest for the prediction of road traffic vibration.
