Definition

The two‑way dynamic coupling between moving vehicles and a bridge structure in which vehicle loads induce time‑varying forces and motions in the bridge, and the bridge’s dynamic response alters the loads, motions, or boundary conditions experienced by the vehicles; this mutual interaction changes instantaneous load distribution, vibration amplitudes, fatigue demand and serviceability compared with
