Passive control of bridge wind-induced instabilities by tuned mass dampers and movable flaps

This study investigates different ways to passively suppress wind-induced instabilities such as flutter and torsional divergence. The control system design study is based on a sectional flexible bridge model interacting with a constant velocity airstream. Two different strategies are considered, sep...
