Abstract:
      Viscous dampers are widely used in the design of large-scale complex energy-dissipation structures.Due to their intrinsic nonlinear behavior of damping forces,the nonstationary seismic analysis of a structure with viscous dampers is fundementally a random vibration problem with local nonlinearities.With the advantage of dimension-reduced representation of the time-domain explicit expressions for dynamic responses of an energy-dissipation structure,only those local degrees of freedom related to viscous dampers are required for nonlinear iterative computation.A random simulation method based on explicit time-domain dimension-reduced iteration scheme is then proposed to solve random vibration problems with local nonlinearities.The present approach can serve as a high-efficiency random vibration method for nonlinear seismic analysis of large-scale complex structures with viscous dampers.A nonli-near random vibration analysis is carried out under random seismic excitations of level E2 for a suspension bridge with a main span of 1200m equipped with 4 viscous dampers.Numerical results show that the longitudinal displacement of the main girder of the bridge is greatly reduced at a ratio of 80% due to the installation of viscous dampers,and the internal forces at critical sections of the bridge are decreased by about 5% as well.
