Based on asymptotic solution of the developed mathematical model, a 'generalized universal formula' is proposed to facilitate the damper design. Comprehensive parametric studies are carried out to analyze the effects on the maximum attainable damping ratio and the corresponding optimal damper coefficient. Making use of the 'generalized universal formula' and results from the parametric studies, design guidelines/procedures for open-loop cable vibration control using MR dampers are developed, for both single-mode optimal control and multi-mode suboptimal control. The guidelines/procedures facilitate the engineering application of MR dampers in mitigating the rain-wind-induced cable vibration on cable-stayed bridges. | Description: | Smart Structures and Materials 2005 : Sensors and Smart Structures Technologies for Civil, Mechanical, and Aerospace System, San Diego, California, USA, 7-10 March 2005 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10397/40835 | ISSN: | 0277-786X | EISSN: | 1996-756X | DOI: | 10.1117/12.599641 |
