Abstract:The research of dynamics and control in civil engineering not only involves multiple research directions of various secondary disciplines, but also closely is related to the research directions of dynamics and control discipline, which covers too broadly. Therefore, this special issue only focuses on the dynamics and control in bridge engineering. The free vibration of local components and the overall model of the bridge is briefly reviewed, the dynamics under different loads is involved, especially the nonlinear vibration problem, and the vibration control of the cable is also paid attention. Finally, some ideas are proposed for further research.
