RESEARCH ON A FLUTTER STABILITY CONTROL MEASURE OF A FABRICATED STEEL TRUSS BRIDGE

In order to improve the flutter stability of a certain type fabricated steel truss bridge, a method of setting guiding plates is proposed. Based on the two-dimensional 3 DOF coupling flutter method (2d-3DOF method), and by use of the numerical wind tunnel established by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the flutter stability control measures of setting guiding plates are simulated. Through CFD numerical simulation, the flow field characteristics, flutter derivatives and critical flutter speed of original and guiding-plated models are obtained. It is found that for a certain type fabricated steel truss bridge, the guiding plates can improve its flutter stability. Thus, the feasibility and reliability of setting the guiding plates are proved, and the foundation for its further application in practical projects is laid.
