...Shih-Hsun Yin; Chung-Yu Tang This paper presents a computational study on a new method of detecting multiple simultaneous damages in a cable-stayed bridge by use of the analysis of the vertical dynamic response of a vehicle passing the bridge. First, the study uses a finite-element method...

... factors that affect the locking force are analyzed. The experimental investigations of the locking force of the stay cable vibration control are carried out on a cable-stayed bridge model equipped with a MR damper to verify the computational locking force. For the multimode vibration of the stay cable...
