A Novel Acceleration-Based Moving Force Identification Algorithm to Detect Global Bridge Damage

This paper presents a new moving force identification (MFI) algorithm that uses measured accelerations to infer applied vehicle forces on bridges. Previous MFI algorithms use strain or deflection measurements. Statistics of the inferred forces are used in turn as indicators of global bridge damage....
