Abstract: This paper presents a new algorithm for evaluating impulse response functions for the convolution integrals of the aerodynamic forces of bridge decks. The impulse response functions formed by measured flutter derivatives ...

Abstract: A unified approach for the aeroelastic analysis of bridge decks is presented. The structural aerodynamic transfer functions are approximated using a second-order polynomial with the coefficients determined through minimization ...

Abstract: This paper presents the exact relation between the real and imaginary parts of aerodynamic transfer functions for deriving impulse response functions that satisfy the causality condition. A truncated Fourier series is used ...
