Abstract

In this study, a new mechanical model, named particle damping mechanics model (PU_SPD), is proposed to study the damping problem of bridge structures. The model takes the Nujiang River Bridge as a case study, and explores the mechanism of force action by analyzing the time domain vibration characteristics and frequency domain of the excitation force, vibrating body (bridge structural properties) and particle damping. the PU_SPD model and its calculation method can intuitively and scientifically describe the damping dissipation characteristics of a vibrating beam under the action of particle damping, avoiding the tedious process of parameter iterative solution and improving the computational efficiency. In addition, the damping influence law of particle damping on the beam structure is derived through the analysis of transfer function and damping level. The study also proposes an optimal design method for PU_SPD damping parameters under dynamic loading of the bridge, and its performance parameters are analyzed and verified, and compared and validated with the time-domain analysis method. The results show that the PU_SPD mechanical model based on time-frequency domain analysis can intuitively reflect the damping dissipation mechanics with high accuracy, clear solution process and reasonable and accurate parameter optimization analysis method. PU_SPD has a wide frequency range, good effect and stability, and has a good prospect of application in engineering vibration and noise reduction.
