The dynamic response of railway bridges is important to consider, as the high velocity loading from trains increases risk resonance. Increasing train speeds and loads result in a need for adaptable properties bridges. One solution install magnetorheological dampers, structure originating moving could be controlled by alternating input current damper. However, complexity such devices results dif...

Understanding how humans walk on a surface that can move might provide insights into, for instance, whether walking humans prioritize energy use or stability. Here, motivated by the famous human-driven oscillations observed in the London Millennium Bridge, we introduce a minimal mathematical model of a biped, walking on a platform (bridge or treadmill) capable of lateral movement. This biped mo...

The problem of seismic protection the bridge for conditions Uzbekistan is considered. located in an area with estimated seismicity 9 points. It has massive high supports on a natural foundation and relatively small light spans. When selecting isolation, this made it possible to use span structures as dynamic damper support vibrations direction along bridge. Due damping effect, was achieve that ...

A new self-powered magnetorheological (MR) damper control system was developed to mitigate cable vibration. The power source of the MR damper is directly harvested from vibration energy through a rotary permanent magnet direct current (DC) generator. The generator itself can also serve as an electromagnetic damper. The proposed smart passive system also incorporates a roller chain and sprocket,...

Suspension bridges’ in-plane extended configuration makes them vulnerable to wind-induced vibrations. Vortex shedding is a kind of aerodynamic phenomenon causing bridge vibrate in vertical and torsional modes. Vortex-induced vibrations disturb the bridge’s serviceability limit, which not favorable, long run, they can cause fatigue damage. In this condition, vibration control strategies seem be ...

This investigation is concerned with application of nonlinear fluid viscous dampers for asymmetric-plan systems. For this purpose, the behavior of nonlinear fluid viscous dampers is summarized first followed by the effects of damper nonlinearity on seismic response of asymmetric systems. It is shown that the peak force in nonlinear damper tends to be smaller compared to linear damper. However, ...

In this paper modeling of rotating seal and friction damper is explained using NX7.5 and ANSYS130x64 software. Modeling of any component is very important in analysis of the component. Analysis of rotating seal and damper is carried out using ANSYS130x64 to calculate stiffness of friction damper. Various authors explained methods to calculate stiffness of friction damper. In this paper a method...

Magneto-rheological damper (MR damper) has been expected to control the response of civil and building structures in recent years, because of its large force capacity and controllable force characteristics. Recent study is to the application of controllable dampers for reducing earthquake response of buildings and/or wind induced sway. The dynamic characteristics of the MR damper have to be cla...

Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are one of the most promising new devices for structural vibration reduction. Because of their mechanical simplicity, high dynamic range, low power requirements, large force capacity, and robustness, these devices have been shown to mesh well with application demands and constraints to offer an attractive means of protecting civil infrastructure systems against s...
