车辆与桥梁之间的相互作用是公路桥梁上十分常见的现象，这种相互作用本身包含了很多有用的信息。一方面，虽然传统意义上车辆往往被看作桥梁上的外荷载，实际上车辆也可以当作获取桥梁结构响应的传感器。另一方面，虽然桥梁往往被看成车辆重量的承载体，实际上桥梁也可以当成获取车辆重量的秤。基于这些思考，本书作者的课题组开展了一系列与车桥耦合振动相关的研究。弄懂车辆和桥梁之间的相互作用将为桥梁状态评估、桥梁设计、桥梁维护等相关策略的制定以及新的研究需求的发现提供有益的帮助。
本书覆盖了车桥耦合振动领域的基本理论知识与近期新的实践和应用，旨在为相关领域的研究生和科研人员提供一些有用的信息，填补该领域理论研究和实践应用之间的鸿沟。
