Abstract: Experimental results of flutter derivatives for sectional models of long-span bridges are presented. The tests were carried out in the Water Channel Laboratory of the Center for Applied Stochastics Research of Florida ...

Abstract: Mobility analysis of a novel 3-5R parallel mechanism family whose limb consists of a 2R and a 3R parallel subchain is performed by the aid of screw theory. A mobility criterion applicable ...

Abstract: Motion stability of a long-span bridge in turbulent wind is studied. The bridge motion is represented by a torsional mode and a bending mode, and the new wind turbulence model proposed in an earlier paper is used in the ...

Abstract: Theoretical explanation is provided on why turbulence in the wind flow can sometimes stabilize an essentially single‐degree‐of‐freedom motion of a flexible bridge. The theory is based on a new turbulence model, which has ...
