Abstract: A method of identifying natural frequencies and associated damping ratios of a structure from its free decay response is presented. The method is based on the Prony’s algorithm with which the ...

Abstract: A relatively simple nonparametric identification technique based on the use of power series expansions for the identification of nonlinearities of a variety of discrete nonlinear vibrating systems ...

Abstract: To overcome nonconvergence in the two-dimensional–three degrees of freedom

Abstract: A fundamental understanding of the flutter stabilization of streamlined box girders is of critical importance for ensuring the structural safety of superlong span bridges. This study systematically investigated the flutter ...

Abstract: Wind barrier is an effective countermeasure to protect vehicles from the lateral wind on sea-crossing bridges. Previous studies focused on the sheltering efficiency of wind barriers and their effects on the aerodynamic/aeroelastic ...

Abstract: Aerodynamic flutter instability could lead to the catastrophic collapse of flexible long-span bridges and needs to be prevented. This study investigated the variability of eight experimentally measured flutter derivatives ...
