Abstract: The use of viscous dampers to mitigate cable vibrations on cable-stayed bridges is very popular. A viscous damper attached to a stay cable results in complex mode shapes. Such complexity could affect the dynamic stability ...

Abstract: Although many models of pedestrian dynamic loading have been proposed, possible bidirectional interactions between the walker and the excited structure are generally ignored, particularly for vertical vibrations. This ...

Abstract: Stay cables are prone to vibrations due to their low inherent damping. This paper presents an approach for systematic identification of beneficial passive vibration absorber layouts consisting of a damper, a spring, or an ...
