Moving force at twice critical speed on single span bridge

The motion of an idealised single span bridge under the action of a moving point force across its surface, when the force velocity is equal to twice the first critical speed. The animation was created in matlab using the analytical equations of motion derived in "Vibration of solids and structures under moving loads" Fryba, L, 1999.
