Influence of Fluid Viscous Damper on the Dynamic Response of Suspension Bridge under Random Traffic Load by Yue Zhao, Pingming Huang, Guanxu Long, Yangguang Yuan, Yamin Sun

“…Fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) are widely used in long-span suspension bridges for earthquake resistance. To analyze efficiently the influences of FVDs on the dynamic response of a suspension bridge under high-intensity traffic flow, a bridge-vehicle coupling method optimized by isoparametric mapping and improved binary search in this work was first developed and validated. …”
