Abstract: An active aerodynamic control method of suppressing flutter of a very-long-span bridge is presented in this paper. The control system consists of additional control surfaces attached to the bridge deck; their torsional ...

Abstract: The multiple tuned liquid dampers (MTLDs), which consist of a number of TLDs whose first natural frequencies of sloshing are distributed over a certain range around the natural frequency of a structure, are studied. The ...

Abstract: In the case of a circular tower, end-cell-induced vibration (ECIV) occurs at a wind speed a few times higher than the wind speed that induces the vortex-induced vibration. To elucidate the characteristics of the aerodynamic ...
