Suspension bridge modeling

The purpose of this study is to model the suspension bridge that oscillated by the external forces and investigate the phenomenon of resonance that would induce the destructive of the suspension bridge. Theoretically, the resonance will occur when the external frequency of the forces are tend to or...
