Abstract:The over-limit of transverse amplitude of bridge has always been an important problem in railway Bridges. In the overall speed of the national railway environment, this problem is more and more prominent, the increase of train speed is bound to cause greater lateral displacement of the bridge, and then have an adverse impact on traffic safety. The traditional bridge lateral vibration control method is mainly to reduce the bridge vibration response by changing the bridge stiffness, but the cost is high and the economy is poor. The idea of energy dissipation and vibration reduction provides a new idea for transverse vibration control of Bridges, which is to reinforce Bridges with dampers. The installation of the damper can convert the input energy of the bridge into the hysteretic energy of the damper, and consume the input energy before the structure through the reciprocating loading and unloading cycle of the damper. The advantage of this method is that it is economical and easy to replace, but there is a lack of this type of damper products and related application research in China. It is this new type of damper that is studied in this paper.
