Performance Evaluation of Seismic Vibration Control of Asymmetrical Cable-Stayed Bridge Using MR Damper

Transverse Vibration Control for Cable Stayed Bridge Under Construction Using Active Mass Damper

Application of Structural Damage Control in Seismic Performance Opti- mization of Long-span Cable-stayed Bridge

The damage caused by earthquake is irresistible for human beings, and the structure with poor robustness is most affected by earthquake. Especially when traffic arteries like bridges and highways are affected, the losses will be unimaginable. To reduce the loss in earthquake, the paper targets the long-span cable-stayed bridge and discusses a method of structural damage control. The energy-diss...

Vibration Control of MR Damper Landing Gear

In the field of Automation, Fuzzy Control Fuzzy control has significant merits which are utilized in intelligent controllers, especially for vibration control systems. This paper is concerned with the application aspects of the developed MR damper for landing gear system, to attenuate the sustained vibrations during the landing phase. Also a comparative study is made on the responses obtained f...

Semiactive Control System based on MR Damper for Suppressing Vibration of Stay Cable under Wind Load

This paper investigates the performance of the semiactive control system based on magnetorheological fluid (MR) dampers for suppressing excessive vibration of stay cable installed in cable-stayed bridges under wind load. The cable model is extracted from a 156.3 m long stay cable with high tension. The external wind load is generated from the widely used wind load spectrum such as the Kaimal sp...

Health Condition Evaluation of Cable-Stayed Bridge Driven by Dissimilarity Measures of Grouped Cable Forces

An index system for the health-status evaluation of cable-stayed bridges is presented based on a set of dissimilarity measures (abbr. DM) of the cable force of grouped cables. The DMs and its corresponding health status labels derived by the serviceability limit states of a bridge are determined by the combination of the finite element method and the influence matrix method. The Monte-Carlo met...
