Free Vibrations of a Cable with an Attached Mr Damper – Experimental Analysis of Amplitude Dependent Damping
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents results of experiments carried out on free vibrations of a cable with an attached magnetorheological (MR) damper. The attention is focused on the analysis of amplitude dependent damping of a cable with an MR damper operating in passive and controlled modes. In the case of the passive system, damping characteristics are nonlinear and display relevant drawbacks of the system. In contrast, in the case of the controlled system, it is revealed that the damping performance achieved with the considered control algorithms is roughly independent of vibration amplitude.

This paper discusses the damping measurements on cables with real-time controlled MR dampers that were performed on a laboratory scale single strand cable and on cables of the Sutong Bridge, China. The control approach aims at producing amplitude and frequency independent cable damping which is confirmed by the tests. The experimentally obtained cable damping in comparison to the theoretical va...

A new self-powered magnetorheological (MR) damper control system was developed to mitigate cable vibration. The power source of the MR damper is directly harvested from vibration energy through a rotary permanent magnet direct current (DC) generator. The generator itself can also serve as an electromagnetic damper. The proposed smart passive system also incorporates a roller chain and sprocket,...

External dampers and cross-ties are commonly used to control vibrations of stay cables on cable-stayed bridges. While dampers contribute directly to the structural damping of the attached cables, cross-ties mainly help to increase the stiffness of the connected cable system. The idea of incorporating cross-ties with dampers has also been attempted in a few recent applications to benefit from th...
متن کاملAeolian Vibrations of Transmission Line Conductors with More than One Damper
To reduce the damages of aeolian vibration of conductors to the power transmission networks, the most common method is installation of Stock-bridge dampers. Estimation of the damper’s dissipated energy is an important factor in determining the number and location of installation of these types of vibration absorbers. This estimation is strongly dependent upon the assumed mode shape of the condu...
