Traditional experimental methods for estimating modal mass of existing footbridges require measurement of frequency response functions, implying direct measurement of controllable excitation.
The red curve is based on a model that sets the modal mass of the higher-order modes so that the peaks match those in the displacement measurement shown in Fig. 2. Extended Data Fig. 4 Effect of uncertainty in detuning and loss.
An expression to determine the optimum ratio of the neutralizer mass to the modal mass of the structure is also derived.
In this study, a procedure is proposed for estimating the modal mass of a real structure with a tuned-mass damper based on the H-infinity optimal model reduction technique.
The modal mass of a real structure differs from that of the mathematical model due to the error introduced by the assumptions made for analysis and by the change in dynamic characteristics occurring during the construction process.
Accurate estimation of the modal mass of a structure is essential for analyzing the structural response under disturbance and for designing mass-type control devices used to enhance the serviceability of the structure.
