Abstract: The performance of a damper in controlling large-amplitude vibrations of a stay cable in a bridge is influenced by essential parameters such as the amount of sag and flexural rigidity of the cable, and the stiffness of the ...

Abstract: The combined effect of two dampers, either on the same end or opposite ends of a stay cable, is analytically studied in this paper. By considering small distances of the dampers from the anchorages, an asymptotic formula ...

Abstract: The effects of bending on the modal properties of a stay cable with a transverse damper are analytically studied. Considering that the value of the flexural rigidity in the stay cable is small in practice, an explicit ...
