Abstract: The hangers on long-span suspension bridges are significantly prone to wind-induced vibrations due to their light mass, low frequency, and small structural damping. These vibrations are known to cause fatigue problems and ...

Abstract: The extended Kalman filter with unknown inputs (EKF-UI) method has been extensively studied for application in system and input identification of multiple-degrees-of-freedom systems. The inverse problem is, however, ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic forces on the cable and rivulet are usually determined by the quasi-steady method, which cannot take signature turbulence into account. Furthermore, the oscillation of the cable and rivulet might have ...

Abstract: With the continuous increase in the span of suspension bridges, six-cable hangers have been gradually adopted to meet the load requirements in the design of suspension bridges. However, the aerodynamic interference between ...
