Abstract:
      This study addresses the methodology and parameter study of TMD control for long-span bridges.The differential equations governing the motion of the structure with TMDs are established in the mode space,in which the effects of aerodynamic self-excited force are taken into account.The revised automatic analysis for multimode-coupled flutter,which is the single parameter searching method without iterations,is adapted for the flutter control analysis of structure-TMDs system based on the complex modal theory.Taking a three-tower suspension bridge being built crossing the Yangtze River for a numerical example,the flutter analysis of the original bridge and flutter control analysis of bridge-TMDs system are performed.The TMD parameters are discussed for influence of critical wind speed.
