Abstract
A three-degree-of-freedom suspension has been developed for section modeling of long-span bridges. Using this suspension, it is possible to permit and record simultaneous vertical, torsional and lateral motions of a deck section model. A system identification procedure has also been developed, complementing the new suspension, to determine all 18 flutter derivatives (at a given reduced frequency) in a single experiment. This development represents a significant advance in the utility of the section modeling procedure, and in the next several years will permit further insights to be gained into the aerodynamic mechanisms associated with the aeroelastic and aerodynamic response of long-span bridges.
