Review of Bridge Aeroelasticity: Sensitivity Analysis and Optimal Design

摘要

The book focuses on aeroelastic flutter analysis of suspension and cable-stayed bridges, along with design sensitivity analysis and optimization of response. The book is indeed comprehensive, containing descriptions of various types of bridges in the world with color illustrations, discussion of various failures with a technical and historical perspective, development of equations for flutter analysis, computational algorithms and applications to various bridges, construction considerations, experimental approaches, and design optimization. Until now, information on this subject has only appeared scattered across various journal and conference publications. Thus, the book's appearance is timely. Further, the equations and solution procedures presented have been verified by actual implementation into computer software along with experimental cor-roboration. The authors have published in this area for more than a decade with university-industry cooperation.
