This paper gives an overview of wind-induced gallo** phenomena, describing its manifold
features and the many advances that have taken place in this field. Starting from a quasi …

The undesirable vortex-induced vibration (VIV) may seriously influence the fatigue life and
serviceability of bridge structures. It is important to take countermeasures to suppress the …

Tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) has been proved to be a feasible device for vibration
control of long-span bridges due to its excellent space performance. However, existing …

Inerter‐based dampers (IBDs) have been proposed to enhance the efficiency of
conventional tuned mass dampers (TMDs) in controlling wind‐induced vibration of civil …

Abstract The design of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) to satisfy serviceability requirements is
becoming more and more usual in the current design of footbridges. This paper analyzes the …

A new algorithm for the estimation of the robustness of a dynamical system's equilibrium is
presented. Unlike standard approaches, the algorithm does not aim to identify the entire …

The use of nonlinear energy sink as a passive control device is extended here to a nonlinear
elastic string, in internal resonance conditions, excited by an external harmonic force. The …

The objective of this study is to mitigate, or even completely eliminate, the limit cycle
oscillations in mechanical systems using a passive nonlinear absorber, termed the …

Tetrachiral materials are characterized by a cellular microstructure made by a periodic
pattern of stiff rings and flexible ligaments. Their mechanical behaviour can be described by …

A parametric section model is formulated to synthetically describe the geometrically
nonlinear dynamics of cable-stayed and suspended bridges through a planar elastic multi …
