Damping of taut-cable systems: / Luca Caracoglia in Journal of engineering mechanics, Vol. 133 N°10 (Octobre 2007) 

Public ISBD [article]  in Journal of engineering mechanics > Vol. 133 N°10 (Octobre 2007) Titre : Damping of taut-cable systems: : Two dampers on a single stay Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Luca Caracoglia, Auteur ; Nicholas P. Jones, Auteur Année de publication : 2007 Note générale : Mécanique appliquée Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Bridges  cable-stayed  Cables  Vibration  Damping Résumé : The mitigation of in-plane stay oscillation in cable-stayed bridges is commonly addressed by placing an external mechanical damper, linear or nonlinear, on each stay or by introducing transverse cross-ties among cables. Although the problem of a cable with a single external damper has found significant attention in the past and different techniques have been proposed for the solution of the free-vibration problem, limitations are related to the fact that the location of the damper is usually very close to the cable end (on the bridge deck side) due to geometric constraints, leading to inherently low modal damping in the fundamental modes. In this paper the installation of more than one damper on an individual stay is considered to overcome such limitations and to increase the overall performance of the system. An existing procedure, based on the linearized taut-string theory, was modified to allow for the presence of multiple external discrete viscous dampers. The case of two devices with arbitrary location has been solved, identifying advantages and disadvantages of the proposed solution. In addition, extensions of the practical “universal curve” and the interpretation thereof are presented.
