Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of bridge engineering, in particular to a deformable air nozzle for inhibiting wind-induced vibration of a bridge.

Background

With the use of new materials with light weight and high strength, the development of construction and design techniques and the improvement of aesthetic requirements of people, modern large-span bridges, particularly suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges tend to be flexible. The flexible bridge has relatively low structural rigidity and is sensitive to wind-induced vibration. Wind induced vibrations (e.g., flutter, vortex, buffeting, etc.) have become one of the controlling factors in the design of flexible bridges. Therefore, effective measures are needed to improve the wind-induced vibration performance of the bridge and avoid or reduce the wind-induced vibration within the operating wind speed range.

At present, measures for improving the wind-induced vibration performance of the bridge are mainly divided into three types: 1) structural measures, namely the rigidity of the structure is improved through reasonable structural design, so that the wind-induced vibration performance of the bridge is improved; 2) mechanical measures, namely installing a damper at a specific position of the bridge structure to dissipate energy so as to inhibit the vibration of the bridge structure; 3) and the aerodynamic measures are that the aerodynamic appearance of the bridge structure is improved through specific measures, so that the wind resistance of the bridge is improved.

At present, passive pneumatic measures are widely applied to the improvement of the aerodynamic characteristics of bridges, such as the arrangement of stabilizing plates, the slotting of stiffening beams, the installation of guide plates, passive control surfaces and the like. The passive pneumatic measure has poor adaptability, and the measure for verifying the wind tunnel experimental environment may have unsatisfactory control effect in the actual wind field environment. In contrast, the active pneumatic measure has strong adaptability, good control effect and high control design flexibility, and can be used for controlling various vibrations such as flutter, buffeting and the like. The existing active pneumatic measures mainly have two forms: 1) the active rigid air nozzles/control surfaces are arranged on the windward side and the leeward side of the main beam, and a certain gap is reserved between the active rigid air nozzles/control surfaces and the main beam so as to facilitate the rigid air nozzles/control surfaces to rotate around the rotating shaft; 2) and the active rigid control surface is arranged above or below the main beam by a certain distance through a bracket. The clearance of the former form from the main beam would result in additional aerodynamic forces, potentially reducing control efficiency, and the clearance would be detrimental to the durability of the mechanism such as the spindle. The second requires that the distance between the control surface and the main girder is sufficiently large, which is difficult to achieve in practice. Therefore, active pneumatic control measures are under further investigation.
