Abstract: Two kinds of relations between flutter derivatives and aerodynamic admittance functions (AAFs), which have been used in bridge aerodynamics, are discussed in this study by means of theoretical analysis and experiments. The ...

Abstract: Nonlinear postflutter behaviors of a suspension bridge model with a π-shaped deck section are investigated, focusing on influences of wind yaw angles and low-intensity turbulence. Structural damping properties are first ...

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed numerical algorithm for time-domain flutter analysis of elongated bridges, emphasizing in particular some problematic issues with regard to the application of the indicial functions involved ...

Abstract: Buffeting-induced oscillations of hangers at a suspension bridge have been addressed in this work. The buffeting is obtained by a dynamic finite-element analysis procedure in the time domain, with simulated turbulent wind ...
