Modal analysis and vibration control of a vertical cable with dual tuned mass dampers

This paper proposes a vibration model for modal analysis and vibration control of a vertical cable-dual tuned mass damper (C-DTMD) coupled system. The proposed model introduces several non-dimensional parameters to describe the in-plane vibration of the coupled system. Moreover, the phenomenon of modal split is comprehensively studied to present the complex vibration modes. Parameter analysis is conducted to show the influence of length ratio, mass ratio, damping ratio, and frequency ratio on vibration reduction. In addition, the theoretical model is verified using finite element methods. A practical vertical cable in Jiangyin Bridge with designed wind loads is chosen as a numerical example. The results show that DTMD devices can effectively reduce the modal vibration and have great potential for multi-mode vibration control of vertical cables in suspension bridges. The proposed model can accurately describe the in-plane vibration modes of C-DTMD systems and provides a basis for the optimal design of damper parameters.
