| Abstract: | A simple and economical method based on dSPACE system is developed to measure the effect of cable vibration control. The experiments, numerical simulation and hardware-in-the-loop(HIL) simulation are carried out for the vibration control of stay cables with dampers. Firstly, the test results of solid cable vibration under harmonic excitation are compared with the numerical simulation results of cable vibration to ensure the correctness of the simulation of cable module. Then, the vibration test results of solid cable with damper under harmonic excitation are compared with the numerical simulation results of solid cable with damper to ensure the correctness of the relevant modules. Finally, the external load and the cable are imported into the real-time simulation system to simulate the control effect of the damper under the current excitation in real time. The results show that the simulation is correct and the HIL simulation is feasible in the bridge engineering. |
