Instability of oscillations in cable-stayed bridges

Josef Malík (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper the stability of two basic types of cable stayed bridges, suspended by one or two rows of cables, is studied. Two linearized models of the center span describing the vertical and torsional oscillations are investigated. After the analysis of these models, a stability criterion is formulated. The criterion expresses a relation between the eigenvalues of the vertical and torsional oscillations of the center span. The continuous dependence of the eigenvalues on some data is studied and...

Is it wise to keep laminating?

Marc Briane, Vincenzo Nesi (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the corrector matrix P ε  to the conductivity equations. We show that if P ε  converges weakly to the identity, then for any laminate det P ε 0 at almost every point. This simple property is shown to be false for generic microgeometries if the dimension is greater than two in the work Briane et al. [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., to appear]. In two dimensions it holds true for any microgeometry as a corollary of the work in Alessandrini and Nesi [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal.158 (2001) 155-171]. We use this...
