Abstract: A finite element approach to calculate directly the critical wind velocity for the nonlinear lateral‐torsional buckling instability of long‐span cable‐stayed bridges under the displacement‐dependent wind loads is presented. ...

Abstract: The installation of an external damper on a cable of a cable-supported bridge is often associated with attachments or support devices that trigger vibration restraints at the damper location. This paper investigates the ...

Abstract: An advanced and unique finite-element-based aerodynamic model that can be used to analyze both flutter instability and buffeting response in the time domain is presented. The equation of motion in the time domain is expressed ...

Abstract: Conventional designs for added damping in stay cables with a High Damping Rubber (HDR) damper are commonly carried out assuming perfect boundary conditions at the cable ends or a smooth transition between the damper and ...
