چکیده مقاله
A coupled multimode finite element analysis for determining the flutter speed of suspension bridges is presented The formulation is obtained in a matrix format using Hamilton’s principle The stiffness and mass matrices of the system are obtained using an energy formulation, which takes into account the effect of suspended cables on the deck Vincent Thomas Bridge is taken as an illustrative example The flutter speed of the bridge obtained by the FEM analysis is compared with that obtained by the continuum approach It is shown that the flutter speeds obtained by both methods are practically the same The results of the parametric study show that any error in estimating the structural damping and modal characteristics of the bridge deck may significantly change the flutter speed
