Vortex shedding transforms bridges into musical instruments, with implications for aerodynamic behavior and innovative design ...

Fluid flow across a flexible or elastically mounted structure causes vibrations due to vortex shedding and other similar instabilities, like galloping. The flow-induced vibrations (FIV) are ...

Cable-stayed bridges, remarkable feats of modern engineering, face significant challenges due to vibrations induced by wind, rain, and dynamic loads. Research in vibration control has advanced ...

Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) suppression devices are installed on slender offshore structures—drilling and production risers, steel catenary risers (SCRs), top-tensioned risers (TTRs), umbilicals, ...

Hydrokinetic technology targets low-knot water currents that are off-limits to conventional devices. In 1940, the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington State collapsed due to the effects of Vortex ...

Vivace is a new energy technology that gets its name from a phenomenon that engineers have been battling for 25 years. VIV (vortex induced vibrations) destroyed the Narrows Bridge in Washington State ...
