A review is presented for vibration suppression of civil structures. Special emphasis is laid
upon smart structures with piezoelectric control actuation. The last decade has seen …

Notwithstanding the presence of some books summarizing specific research bodies on
structural systems, reviews on nonlinear dynamics and chaos in mechanical systems and …

Nonlinear systems have a range of behaviour not seen in linear vibrating systems. In this
chapter the phenomena associated with nonlinear vibrating systems are described in detail …

In-service cables of structures, such as those in cable-supported buildings and cable
bridges (eg, stay cables and suspenders), suffer from cumulative fatigue damage caused by …

An analytical model is proposed to study the nonlinear interactions between beam and
cable dynamics in stayed-systems. The integro-differential problem, describing the in-plane …

This paper studies the nonlinear primary resonance in the vibration control of cable-stayed
beam with time delay feedback. Considering the continuity conditions, the in-plane …

Cable-stayed systems are known to exhibit local modes that mainly involve the transversal
cable dynamics. Their fan-shaped cable nets posses a dense spectrum of local frequencies …

As the stay cables of cable‐stayed bridges become longer, parametric resonance with a
large amplitude is more easily triggered, which becomes a vibration hazard of super‐long …

The mechanism of cable end angle-variation induced oscillations in the non-linear
interactions between beams and cables in stayed-systems is first explained by a proposed …

The governing equations for dynamic transverse motion of a cable‐stayed beam are
obtained by means of a classical variational formulation. The analytical model permits a …
