The present study aimed at investigating the role played by the description of the drag component on the predicted flutter velocity (and frequency) of very long-span suspension bridges. Based on a detailed finite element model of the central span of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, implemented in ANSYS, flutter analyses were run according to the following descriptions of the wind aerodynamic actions: (a) unsteady lift, moment and drag; (b) unsteady lift and moment plus steady drag, and (c) unsteady lift and moment, without drag. The finite element results are compared with those obtained by an in-house MATLAB code based on a semi-analytic continuum model. The latter includes flexural-torsional second-order effects induced by steady drag force in the bridge’s equations of motion, in addition to the unsteady lift and moment actions.

Abstract
The present study aimed at investigating the role played by the description of the drag component on the predicted flutter velocity (and frequency) of very long-span suspension bridges. Based on a detailed finite element model of the central span of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, implemented in ANSYS, flutter analyses were run according to the following descriptions of the wind aerodynamic actions: (a) unsteady lift, moment and drag; (b) unsteady lift and moment plus steady drag, and (c) unsteady lift and moment, without drag. The finite element results are compared with those obtained by an in-house MATLAB code based on a semi-analytic continuum model. The latter includes flexural-torsional second-order effects induced by steady drag force in the bridge’s equations of motion, in addition to the unsteady lift and moment actions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
