Abstract

This paper is devoted to introduce and analyze a new non linear problem describing the vibrations of a double suspended bridge system. The road bed is modeled as a double beam of Woinowsky-Krieger type and the two cables, each connected to a single beam by a distributed system of elastic springs, are modeled as one-sided elastic strings. We achieve the existence and uniqueness of solutions by using the semigroup theory and the exponential decay property is also proved. Then, the model is numerically analyzed, through a variational formulation, by using the finite element method and a first-order time integration scheme. A priori error estimates are obtained and the linear convergence is derived under some suitable additional regularity conditions. Finally, some numerical experiments are performed to verify the behavior of the numerical method.
