Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes (2017)
Journal Article
Nguyen, C., & Macdonald, J. (2018). Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes. Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 144(2), 04017175. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29em.1943-7889.0001403

The use of viscous dampers to mitigate cable vibrations on cable-stayed bridges is very popular. A viscous damper attached to a stay cable results in complex mode shapes. Such complexity could affect the dynamic stability of the cable under wind acti... Read More about Galloping analysis of a stay cable with an attached viscous damper considering complex modes.

Galloping of an elliptical cylinder at the critical Reynolds number and its quasi-steady prediction (2017)
Journal Article
Ma, W., Macdonald, J., Liu, Q., Nguyen, C., & Liu, X. (2017). Galloping of an elliptical cylinder at the critical Reynolds number and its quasi-steady prediction. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 168, 110-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2017.04.022

Dry galloping of inclined cables has been shown to have a strong relation to the critical Reynolds number. This study considers the occurrence of galloping of an elliptical cylinder at the critical Reynolds number under normal wind and assesses the q...
