Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book provides a comprehensive survey on the governing phenomena of cable vibration, both associated with direct action of wind and rain: buffeting, vortex-shedding, wake effects, rain-wind vibration; and resulting from the indirect excitation through anchorage oscillation: external and parametric excitation. Methodologies for assessment of the effects of those phenomena are presented and illustrated by practical examples. Control of cable vibrations is then discussed and state-of-art results on the design of passive control devices are presented.

Download or read book Wind Resistant Design of Bridges in Japan written by Yozo Fujino and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For long-span bridges, wind action is a dominant factor in their safety and serviceability. A large number of long-span bridges have been built in Japan over the past 30 years, and tremendous amounts of research and technical development have been accomplished in wind-resistant design. This book is a compilation of the results of active research and development. Wind-resistant design standards generated in Japan are described in the first few chapters. Then comes information such as design wind speed, structural damping, wind tunnel tests, and analyses, which provide the basis of the design standards. Wind-induced vibrations and their control of girders, towers, cables, and other features are explained with examples of field measurements. Comprehensive listings of Japanese experience in vibration control are also presented. Because achieving particularly dynamic safety against wind is still not an easy task, these data and information will be valuable assets for the wind-engineering and bridge-engineering communities.

Download or read book Fluid Structure Interactions written by Michael P. Païdoussis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-13 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structures in contact with fluid flow, whether natural or man-made, are inevitably subject to flow-induced forces and flow-induced vibration: from plant leaves to traffic signs and to more substantial structures, such as bridge decks and heat exchanger tubes. Under certain conditions the vibration may be self-excited, and it is usually referred to as an instability. These instabilities and, more specifically, the conditions under which they arise are of great importance to designers and operators of the systems concerned because of the significant potential to cause damage in the short term. Such flow-induced instabilities are the subject of this book. In particular, the flow-induced instabilities treated in this book are associated with cross-flow, that is, flow normal to the long axis of the structure. The book treats a specific set of problems that are fundamentally and technologically important: galloping, vortex-shedding oscillations under lock-in conditions and rain-and-wind-induced vibrations, among others.

Download or read book Bluff Body Aerodynamics and Its Applications written by Manabu Ito and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing slenderness and lightness of civil engineering structures such as tower blocks and bridges, wind effects on them have been attracting considerable interest from researchers and design engineers. Since most structures in civil engineering present bluff forms to the wind, the main emphasis of this collection of papers is on bluff body aerodynamics. The flow effects in this case, in addition to turbulence effects in the atmospheric boundary layer illustrate the unique and complex nature of the problems that can be encountered in this field, as opposed to the classical studies in the aeronautical field that influenced the initial development stages of industrial aerodynamics. Selected papers from the colloquium are presented in this volume. The papers offer a comprehensive presentation of the results of the studies made of wind effects on engineering structures. The latest trends in the field are outlined and the results obtained in the solution of topical problems are described.
