Study on the Method of Moving Load Identification Based on Strain Influence Line

In order to improve the accuracy of load identification and study the influence of transverse distribution, a novel method was proposed for the moving load identification based on strain influence line and the load transverse distribution under consideration. The load identification theory based on strain influence line was derived, and the strain integral coefficient was proposed for the identification. A series of numerical simulations and experiments were carried out to verify the method. The numerical results showed that the method without considering the load transverse distribution was not suitable for solving the space problem, and the method with the load transverse distribution under consideration has a high identification accuracy and excellent anti-noise performance. The experimental results showed that the speed identification error was smaller than ±5%, and the vehicle speed had no obvious influence on the identification results of the vehicle weight. Moreover, the average identification error of the vehicle weight was smaller than ±10%, and the error of more than 90% of samples was smaller than ±5%.
