Dynamic Analysis of a Scissors Structure — •Yuta Hama1, Ichiro Ario1, Kotaro Adachi1, and Yuki Chikahiro2 — 1Hiroshima University, Higashi-hiroshima, Japan — 2Shinsyu University, Nagano, Japan
The paper presents a new type of deployable and/or folding bridge, which can be quickly constructed in case of damages after a natural disaster. The concept of the bridge is based on the application of scissor-type mechanism, which provides its rapid deployment. The presented research reviews fundamental numerical and experimental results for the full-sized scissors structure. Experimental testing included strain and acceleration measurements in free and forced loading conditions. From these results, it was possible to estimate basic dynamic characteristics of the bridge. Besides, in order to provide a basis for development of new construction methods under gravity. This dynamic research allows for a better and safer design of the movable and foldable full-scale scissors type of bridge.
