Abstract

In order to explore the operation mechanism of dampers used on super long-span bridges, the characteristics of dampers in long-term operation are studied through field tests. Firstly, viscous damper and liquid leakage MR damper are selected to test the influence of fluid connecting rod on its damping force; Then, wireless and wired sensors are used to collect the acceleration response of cables with viscous dampers and MR dampers. Finally, the vibration characteristics of the cable are analyzed, and the control performance of the selected damper is evaluated. The results show that the high-order multi-modal vibration of the cable will occur in the range of 2-6hz whether the damper is installed or not. In addition, fluid leakage may reduce the additional modal damping ratio achieved by MR damper.
