Tuned vibration control in aeroelasticity of slender wood bridges

Alexander Tesar

Abstract

Tuned vibration control in aeroelasticity of slender wood bridges is treated in present paper. The approach suggested takes into account multiple functions in aeroelastic analysis and flutter of slender wood bridges subjected to laminar and turbulent wind flow. Tuned vibration control approach is presented with application on actual bridge. Some results obtained are discussed.

Key Words

Bernoulli equation; damping; flutter response; mechanics of turbulent wind motion; slender wood bridge; tuned vibration control; wind model
