In a fish-bone model for suspension bridges studied by us in a previous paper we introduce linear aerodynamic forces.

Abstract
In a fish-bone model for suspension bridges studied by us in a previous paper we introduce linear aerodynamic forces. We numerically analyze the role of these forces and we theoretically show that they do not influence the onset of torsional oscillations. This suggests a new explanation for the origin of instability in suspension bridges: it is a combined interaction between structural nonlinearity and aerodynamics and it follows a precise pattern.Pubblicazioni consigliate
