Damping of Stay Cable-Passive Damper System with Effects of Cable Bending Stiffness and Damper Stiffness

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present paper, the asymptotic solution of modal damping ratio of stay cable-passive damper system with the influence of cable bending stiffness and damper stiffness was derived. Maximum modal damping ratio and corresponding optimal damping coefficient, which indicated the relationships of the characteristics of the damper and the cable bending stiffness was theoretically analyzed to obtain their close solutions. On the basis of these close solutions, numerical analysis of modal damping of stay cable-passive damper system with the effects of cable bending stiffness and damper stiffness was conducted. The numerical and analytical results show that the maximum modal damping ratio decrease and the corresponding damping coefficient increase, when considering the influence of the damper stiffness and the cable bending stiffness.
