A huge variety of aerodynamic models for aeroelastic analyses of bridges poses natural questions on their complexity and thus, quality. Moreover, a direct comparison of aerodynamic models is typically either not possible or senseless, as the models can be based on very different physical assumptions. Therefore, to address the question of principal comparability and complexity of models, a more abstract approach, accounting for the effect of basic physical assumptions, is necessary. This paper presents an application of a recently introduced category theory-based modelling approach to a diverse set of models from bridge aerodynamics. Initially, the categorical approach is extended to allow an adequate description of aerodynamic models. Complexity of the selected aerodynamic models is evaluated, based on which model comparability is established. Finally, the utility of the approach for model comparison and characterisation is demonstrated on an illustrative example from bridge aeroelasticity. The outcome of this study is intended to serve as an alternative framework for model comparison and impact future model assessment studies of mathematical models for engineering applications.}, subject = {Br{\"u}cke}, language = {en} } @misc{Damanik, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Damanik, Batta Septo Van Bahtiar}, title = {Aerodynamic Analysis of Slender Vertical Structure and Response Control with Tuned Mass Damper}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2471}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20151030-24714}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, abstract = {Analysis of vortex induced vibration has gained more interest in practical held of civil engineering. The phenomenon often occurs in long and slender vertical structure like high rise building, tower, chimney or bridge pylon, which resulting in unfavorable responses and might lead to the collapse of the structures. The phenomenon appears when frequency of vortex shedding produced in the wake area of body meet the natural frequency of the structure. Even though this phenomenon does not necessarily generate a divergent amplitude response, the structure still may fail due to fatigue damage. To reduce the effect of vortex induced vibration, engineers widely use passive vibration response control system. In this case, the thesis studies the effect of tuned mass damper. The objective of this thesis is to simulate the effect of tuned mass damper in reducing unfavorable responses due to vortex induced vibration and initiated by numerical model validation with respect to wind tunnel test report. The reference structure that being used inside the thesis is Stonecutter Bridge, Hongkong. A numerical solver for computational uid dynamics named VX ow which developed by Morgenthal [6] is utilized for wind and structure simulation. The comparison between numerical model and wind tunnel result shows 10\% maximum tip displacement diference in the model of full erection freestanding tower. The tuned mass damper (TMD) model itself built separately in finite element software SOFiSTiK, and the efective damping obtained from this model then applied inside input modal data of VX ow simulation. A single TMD with mass ratio of TMD 0.5\% to the mass of first bending frequency, the maximum tip displacement is measured to be average 67\% reduced. Considering construction limitation and robustness of TMD, the effects of multiple TMD inside a structure are also studied. An uncoupled procedure of applying aeroelastic loads obtained from VX ow inside finite element software SOFiSTiK is also done to observe the optimum distribution and optimum mass ratio of multiple tuned mass damper. The rest of the properties of TMD are calculated with Den Hartog's formula. The results are as follows: peak displacement in the case of multiple TMD that distributed with polynomial spacing achieve 7.8\% more reduction performance than the one that distributed with equal spacing. Optimum mass of tuned mass damper achieved with ratio 1.25\% mass of first bending frequency corresponds to across wind direction.}, subject = {Aerodynamic}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Bayer1999, author = {Bayer, Veit}, title = {Zur Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeitsbeurteilung von Baukonstruktionen unter dynamischen Einwirkungen}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.19}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20040205-215}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, year = {1999}, abstract = {Die Arbeit befaßt sich mit varianzmindernden Verfahren zur Monte Carlo Simulation von stochastischen Prozessen, zum Zweck der Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeitsbeurteilung von Baukonstruktionen mit nichtlinearem Systemverhalten.
