Abstract: This paper presents a method for computing the response of a 1D elastic continuum induced by a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) oscillator traveling over it. The continuum and the oscillator are nonconservative systems with ...

Abstract: A theoretical study on an aerodynamic control method for suppression of the wind-induced instabilities of a very long span bridge is presented in this paper. The control system consists of additional control flaps attached ...

Abstract: Using the analytical format set forth in the first of these two companion papers, numerical simulations of a passive aerodynamic control method for suppression of the wind-induced instabilities of a very long span bridge ...

Abstract: A passive aerodynamic control method for suppression of the wind-induced instabilities of a very long span bridge is presented in this paper. The control system consists of additional control flaps attached to the edges ...

Abstract: The Land Transport Authority of Singapore has a continuing program of highway bridge upgrading for refurbishing and strengthening bridges to allow for increasing vehicle traffic and increasing axle loads. One subject of ...
