사장교가 장경간으로 시공됨에 따라 대형화 되고 지진하중, 풍하중 및 차량하중 등 동적 하중에 의해 유발되는 진동현상에 취약한 단점이 나타난다. 이러한 하중 등에 의해 발생된 구조 손상은 구조물의 진동모드 특성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 기존의 정밀안전진단 기술을 이용하여 사장교의 구조 손상을 검색하고 평가하는 것은 상당한 비용과 시간이 소요될 뿐만 아니라 전체적인 구조거동 특성의 변화를 발견하기 어려울 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 사장교에 대하여 구조손상 전의 진동모드 특성치와 구조손상 후의 진동모드 특성치를 이용하여 구조거동 특성의 변화를 검토하고 구조손상 검색을 수행하였다.

In this study, the finite element modeling for the signal cable and pneumatic hose of the industrial robot is developed. The modulus of elasticity of signal cable and pneumatic hose is predicted by deflection test. Finite element model for the signal cable and pneumatic hose is developed by using the modulus of elasticity obtained from the tests. The developed finite element model is estimated through the vibration analysis. This study shows that the developed finite element model can be effectively utilized in the dynamic analysis.

Passive control may not provide enough damping for a stay cable since the control devices are often restricted to a low location level. In order to enhance control performance of conventional passive dampers, a new type of damper integrated with a rotary electromagnetic damper providing variable damping force and a flywheel serving as an inertial mass, called the rotary electromagnetic inertial mass damper (REIMD), is presented for suppressing the cable vibrations in this paper. The mechanical model of the REIMD is theoretically derived according to generation mechanisms of the damping force and the inertial force, and further validated by performance tests. General dynamic characteristics of an idealized taut cable with a REIMD installed close to the cable end are theoretically investigated, and parametric analysis are then conducted to investigate the effects of inertial mass and damping coefficient on vibration control performance. Finally, vibration control tests on a scaled cable model with a REIMD are performed to further verify mitigation performance through the first two modal additional damping ratios of the cable. Both the theoretical and experimental results show that control performance of the cable with the REIMD are much better than those of conventional passive viscous dampers, which mainly attributes to the increment of the damper displacement due to the inertial mass induced negative stiffness effects of the REIMD. Moreover, it is concluded that both inertial mass and damping coefficient of an optimum REIMD will decrease with the increase of the mode order of the cable, and oversize inertial mass may lead to negative effect on the control performance.

In this paper, the efficacy of the MR damper-based control systems for vibration suppression of stay cables has been experimentally investigated. The performance of the several control strategies for the semiactive control system, such as the clipped-optimal control, the Lyapunov stability theory-based control, the maximum energy dissipation and the modulated homogeneous friction, has been compared with that of the passive-type control systems employing MR dampers. To do this, the full-scale stay cable, which is the same as used for the in-service cable-stayed bridge in Korea, is considered. The acceleration and the displacement of the stay cable as well as the damping force of the MR damper are measured. The velocity of the cable at the damper location, which is needed for some control algorithms, is obtained by differentiating the measured displacement. The damping ratios of the cable system employing the MR damper, which can be estimated by the Hilbert transform-based method, shows effectiveness of each control strategy considered.

In this paper, wireless monitoring of typhoon-induced variation of dynamic characteristics of a cable-stayed bridge is presented. Firstly, cable-stayed bridge with the wireless monitoring system is described. Wireless vibration sensor nodes are utilized to measure accelerations from bridge deck and stay cables. Also, modal analysis methods are selected to extract dynamic characteristics. Secondly, dynamic responses of the cable-stayed bridge under the attack of two typhoons are analyzed by estimating relationships between wind velocity and dynamic characteristics. Wind-induced variations of deck and cable vibration responses are examined based on the field measurements under the two consecutive typhoons, Bolaven and Tembin. Finally, time-varying analyses are performed to investigate non-stationary random properties of the dynamic responses under the typhoons.

The seismic response analysis of an existing bridge needs a mathematical model that can be calibrated with measured dynamic characteristics. These characteristics are the periods and the associated mode shapes of vibration and the modal damping coefficients. This paper deals with the measurements and the interpretation of the results of ambient vibration tests done on a newly erected cable stayed bridge across the Oued Dib River at Mila city in Algeria. The signal analysis of ambient vibration records will permit to determine the dynamic characteristics of the bridge. On the other hand, a 3-D model of the bridge is developed in order to assess the frequencies and the associated modes of vibration. This information will be necessary in the planning of the test on the site (locations of the sensors, frequencies to be measured and the associated mode shapes of vibration). The frequencies predicted by the finite element model are compared with those measured during full-scale ambient vibration measurements of the bridge. In the same way, the modal damping coefficients obtained by the random decrement method are compared to those of similar bridges.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the damping performance of stay cables incorporating magnetorheological (MR) dampers in the passive control mode is developed taking into account the cable sag and inclination, the damper coefficient, stiffness and mass, and the stiffness of damper support. Both numerical and asymptotic solutions are obtained from complex modal analysis. With the asymptotic solution, analytical formulas that evaluate the equivalent damping ratio of the sagged cable-damper system in consideration of all the above parameters are derived. The main thrust of the present study is to develop an general design formula and a universal curve for the optimal design of MR dampers for adjustable passive control of sagged cables. Two sag-affecting coefficients are derived to reflect the effects of cable sag on the maximum attainable damping ratio and the optimal damper coefficient. For the cable configurations commonly used in cable-stayed bridges, the sag-affecting coefficients are directly expressed in terms of the sag-extensibility parameter to facilitate the control design. A case study on adjustable passive vibration control of the longest cable (536 m) on Stonecutters Bridge is carried out to demonstrate the influence of the sag for the damper design, and to figure out the necessity of adjustability of damper coefficients for achieving maximum damping ratio for different vibration modes.

Flexible stay cables on cable-stayed bridges are three-dimensional. They sag and flex in the complex wind environment, which is a different situation to ideal rigid cylinders in two-dimensional wind flow. Aerodynamic interference and the response characteristics of wake galloping of full-scale parallel cables are potentially different due to three-dimensional flows around cables. This study presents a comprehensive wind tunnel investigation of wake galloping of parallel stay cables using three-dimensional aeroelastic cable models. The wind tunnel study focuses on the large spacing instability range, addressing the effects of cable separation, wind yaw angle, and wind angle of attack on wake galloping response. To investigate the effectiveness of vibration suppression measures, wind tunnel studies on the transversely connected cable systems for two types of connections (flexibility and rigidity) at two positions (mid-span and quarter-span) were also conducted. This experimental study provides useful insights for better understanding the characteristics of wake galloping that will help in establishing a guideline for the wind-resistant design of the cable system on cable-stayed bridges.

다양한 이동하중을 받는 3차원 사장교에서 동적응답을 구하고자 동일 제원을 갖는 사장교 해석모델에 대하여 두 가지 케이블요소를 적용하여 케이블의 면외 진동영향을 포함한 경우를 알아보고자 하였다. 특히 사장교와 같은 전 구조체계가 유연성을 갖는 구조에서는 사용하중하에서도 동적응답이 민감할 것으로 가정하고 주탑, 바닥판을 연결하는 케이블의 유연성을 포함하여 거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 또한 진동해석시 정적비선형해석을 통한 기하강도행렬과 접선강도행렬을 연계하여 수행하였으며 특히 케이블을 다수의 요소로 분할한 경우에서 단일 케이블요소로 고려되는 축방향진동 이외의 다양한 진동모우드를 나타내고 이러한 면내, 면외진동의 영향이 주탑 및 바닥판과의 상호 연성관계를 통한 추가적인 거동을 유발함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 케이블의 진동영향을 고려한 경우 비대칭 편도의 이동하중을 적용하여 바닥판의 회전각을 비교할 경우에도 케이블의 횡진동의 영향이 전체구조의 추가적인 동적응답을 나타냄을 볼 수 있었다.

Stay cables, such as are used in cable-stayed bridges, are prone to vibration due to their low inherent damping characteristics. Several methods have been proposed and implemented to mitigate this problem, though each has its limitations. Recently some studies have shown that semiactive dampers can potentially achieve performance levels nearly the same as comparable active devices with few of the detractions. This paper presents the results of a study to evaluate the performance of semiactive dampers for mitigating the vibration of stay cables. Moreover, a number of recently proposed semiactive control algorithms are formulated for use with shear mode MR damper to compare the efficiency of each algorithm through numerical simulation. Numerical simulation considers a stay cable excited by shaker and controlled by shear mode MR dampers. In simulation, the response with a semiactive damper is found to be dramatically reduced compared to the uncontrolled case. Furthermore, it is verified that the algorithm based on Lyapunov control theory is very efficient in mitigating the cable vibration.
