Abstract
The paper investigates the influence of the drag force onto the flutter velocity and frequency of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Finite element analyses were run in ANSYS by combining unsteady lift and moment actions with: (a) unsteady drag, (b) steady drag, (c) no drag. The finite element results are compared to those obtained by an in-house MATLAB code based on a semi-analytic continuum model and with others from the literature. The continuum model includes flexural-torsional second-order effects induced by steady drag force into the bridge’s equations of motion, in addition to unsteady lift and moment actions. The results show that good predictions of the flutter velocity can be obtained by combining steady drag with unsteady lift and moment.
期刊介绍：
The ACM journal covers a broad spectrum of topics in all fields of applied and computational mechanics with special emphasis on mathematical modelling and numerical simulations with experimental support, if relevant. Our audience is the international scientific community, academics as well as engineers interested in such disciplines. Original research papers falling into the following areas are considered for possible publication: solid mechanics, mechanics of materials, thermodynamics, biomechanics and mechanobiology, fluid-structure interaction, dynamics of multibody systems, mechatronics, vibrations and waves, reliability and durability of structures, structural damage and fracture mechanics, heterogenous media and multiscale problems, structural mechanics, experimental methods in mechanics. This list is neither exhaustive nor fixed.
