Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Dämpfung von Schwingungsbewegungen bei einem Bauwerk, insbesondere bei einer Brücke.The invention relates to a device for damping oscillatory movements in a building, in particular in a bridge.
Es besteht das Bedürfnis nach immer größeren Spannweiten im Brückenbau. So besitzt beispielsweise die Ende der 90er Jahre in Japan errichtete Akashi Kaikyo Brücke eine Spannweite von fast 2000 m. Die für die Überquerung der Meerenge von Messina in Italien geplante Brücke soll eine Spannweite von über 3 km besitzen. Mit diesen extremen Brückenlängen rückt zunehmends die Problematik der Schwingungsanfälligkeit dieser Tragwerke in den Vordergrund. Bei der Auslegung weit gespannter Brückenträger ist ein besonders wichtiger Effekt die sogenannte Flatterstabilität der Brücke. Hierbei handelt es sich um ein aeroelastisches Phänomen des windinduzierten Brückenflatters, bei dem selbstinduzierte, gekoppelte Biege- und Torsionsschwingungen oder entkoppelte Torsionsschwingungen des Brückenträgers auftreten. Bei selbstinduzierten Schwingungen handelt es sich im Gegensatz zu sogenannten fremdinduzierten Schwingungen, die beispielsweise durch Windböen oder durch periodische Wirbelablösungen hervorgerufen werden, um Erregerkräfte, die durch eine Verschiebung der Brücke hervorgerufen werden. Die an dem Tragwerk angreifenden Luftkräfte beeinflussen die dynamischen Eigenschaften des aeroelastischen Gesamtsystems, also insbesondere Steifigkeit und Dämpfungsparameter. Diese Änderungen treten auch bei zeitlich konstanter Windgeschwindigkeit auf. Erreicht die Windgeschwindigkeit einen bestimmten kritischen Wert, wird die Strukturdämpfung des Brückenträgers aufgehoben. Bei einem weiteren Anwachsen der Windgeschwindigkeit kann ein System mit negativer Gesamtdämpfung auftreten, bei der eine kleine Initialverschiebung zu einer anwachsenden Schwingung mit nahezu unbegrenzter Amplitude und so zum Versagen des Brückentragwerks führt. Die kritische Windgeschwindigkeit (Ucr) ist der strukturelle Kennwert für die Flatterstabilität von Brücken. Es ist bekannt, dass Ucr mit abnehmender Steifigkeit und Dämpfung der Brücke abnimmt. Gerade Brücken mit einer großen Spannweite besitzen jedoch eine geringe Steifigkeit, so dass für diese das Problem des Flatterns auftritt.There is a need for ever larger spans in bridge construction. For example, in the late 1990s, the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, built in Japan, has a span of nearly 2000 meters. The bridge planned to cross the strait of Messina in Italy will have a span of over 3 km. With these extreme bridge lengths, the problem of the susceptibility to vibration of these structures is increasingly coming to the fore. In the design of wide-span bridge girders, a particularly important effect is the so-called chipping stability of the bridge. This is an aeroelastic phenomenon of the wind-induced bridge flap, in which self-induced, coupled bending and torsional vibrations or decoupled torsional vibrations of the bridge girder occur. Self-induced vibrations, in contrast to so-called externally induced vibrations, which are caused, for example, by gusts of wind or by periodic vortex shedding, are excitation forces which are caused by a displacement of the bridge. The air forces acting on the structure influence the dynamic properties of the overall aeroelastic system, in particular stiffness and damping parameters. These changes occur even with temporally constant wind speed. If the wind speed reaches a certain critical value, the structural damping of the bridge girder is canceled. With a further increase of the wind speed, a system with negative Overall attenuation occur in which a small initial shift to an increasing vibration with almost unlimited amplitude and thus leads to failure of the bridge structure. The critical wind speed (Ucr) is the structural characteristic for the flutter stability of bridges. It is known that Ucr decreases with decreasing stiffness and damping of the bridge. Straight bridges with a large span, however, have a low rigidity, so that the problem of fluttering occurs for them.
Zur Stabilisierung flattergefährdeter Brückenträger können verschiedene Verfahren und Vorrichtungen eingesetzt werden. Grundsätzlich lassen sich hierbei konstruktive, aktive und passive Verfahren unterscheiden. Die konstruktive Stabilisierung bezieht sich auf strukturelle Maßnahmen, wie beispielsweise die Erhöhung der Torsionssteifigkeit des Trägers oder das Hinzufügen von zusätzlichen Schrägseilen. Als passive Schwingungsdämpfer kommen passiv schwingende Zusatzmassen in Betracht, die als Tilger bezeichnet werden.Various methods and devices can be used to stabilize bridge members susceptible to flooding. In principle, constructive, active and passive methods can be distinguished. Structural stabilization refers to structural measures, such as increasing the torsional rigidity of the beam or adding additional stay cables. As passive vibration dampers passively swinging additional masses come into consideration, which are referred to as absorber.
Die aktiven Schwingungsdämpfer lassen sich in aktive mechanische sowie aktive aerodynamische Schwingungsdämpfer unterscheiden. Die Letztgenannten beruhen auf dem Ansatz, das sich um den Brückenträger ausbildende Strömungsfeld geeignet zu modifizieren, um so eine stabilisierende Wirkung zu erzielen. Beispielsweise können an dem Brückenträger seitlich Klappen vorgesehen sein, die so in den Wind gestellt werden, dass durch die vorbeiströmende Luft eine stabilisierende Kraft ausgeübt wird, vergleiche beispielsweise
Neben dem vorbeschriebenen kritischen Phänomen des Flatterns bei Brücken treten ähnliche Schwingungsphänomene auch bei Gebäuden auf, wo diese dann als Galloping bezeichnet werden. Neben diesen die Standfestigkeit gefährdenden Schwingungsphänomenen, treten bei Bau- und Tragwerken auch durch Wind, Verkehr, Erdbeben und weitere äußere Einflüsse fremdinduzierte Schwingungen auf, die sowohl die Gebrauchsfähigkeit als auch die Standsicherheit beeinträchtigen können, und die ebenfalls zu dämpfen und zu unterdrücken sind. Eine für den Einbau an einem Bauwerk vorgesehene Vorrichtung, die eine aerodynamische Kontrollfläche und ein Federelement aufweist, ist in
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen aus Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung bilden die Gegenstände der Unteransprüche 2 bis 24.According to the invention the object is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments form the subject of the dependent claims 2 to 24.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dient zum Dämpfen von Schwingungen an Bauwerken. Sie besitzt mindestens eine aerodynamische Kontrollfläche, die drehbar und/oder verschieblich an dem Bauwerk gelagert ist. Ferner ist mindestens ein mechanischer Tilger vorgesehen, der mit der Kontrollfläche kinematisch gekoppelt ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung, auch als aeroelastischer Tilger bezeichnet, dient zum Dämpfen von Schwingungen an Bauwerken. Sie besitzt mindestens eine im Windstrom liegende, drehbar und/oder verschieblich gelagerte aerodynamische Kontrollfläche, die als Kontrollschild, bewegliche Kante oder Flügelelement ausgebildet sein kann, wobei die Kontrollfläche mit dem mechanischen Tilger zwangläufig kinematisch gekoppelt ist. Die zwangläufig kinematische Kopplung wird bevorzugt durch bewegliche mechanische Elemente, wie beispielsweise Übersetzungshebel oder Übersetzungsgetriebe, bewirkt. Der mechanische Tilger besitzt ein Federelement, das eine rückstellende Kraft in eine vorbestimmte Position auf den mechanischen Tilger ausübt. Der mechanische Tilger ist ein schwingungsfähiges Sekundärsystem, das das Schwingungsverhalten des Bauwerks (Hauptsystem) günstig beeinflusst. Ferner ist der mechanische Tilger mit mindestens einem Massekörper versehen. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung besitzt somit keinen Antrieb, der eine externe Energiezufuhr notwendig macht. Ferner weist der mechanische Tilger zusätzlich zu dem Flügelelement noch ein Dämpferelement auf. Der mechanische Tilger ist mit seiner vergleichsweise kleinen Masse über das Federelement und über das Dämpferelement mit dem Bauwerk, insbesondere mit dessen Tragwerk, verbunden. Sein Bewegungsfreiheitsgrad ist die Drehung um einen, bezogen auf das Bauwerk, ortsfesten Pol oder die Verschiebung relativ zum Bauwerk in eine vorgegebene Richtung. Die Tilgerwirkung entsteht durch die Trägheitskräfte der Masse und die Dämpfungskräfte in dem eventuell hinzugefügten Dämpferelement. Mechanische Tilger an sich sind seit langem bekannt.The device according to the invention serves to damp vibrations in structures. It has at least one aerodynamic control surface which is rotatably and / or displaceably mounted on the building. Furthermore, at least one mechanical absorber is provided, which is kinematically coupled to the control surface is. The device according to the invention, also referred to as an aeroelastic absorber, serves to damp vibrations in structures. It has at least one aerodynamic control surface lying in the wind, rotatable and / or displaceably mounted, which can be designed as a control sign, movable edge or wing element, wherein the control surface with the mechanical absorber is positively kinematically coupled. The forcibly kinematic coupling is preferably effected by movable mechanical elements, such as gear lever or transmission gear. The mechanical absorber has a spring member which applies a restoring force to a predetermined position on the mechanical lifter. The mechanical absorber is a vibratory secondary system that has a favorable influence on the vibration behavior of the structure (main system). Furthermore, the mechanical absorber is provided with at least one mass body. The device according to the invention thus has no drive which makes an external power supply necessary. Furthermore, the mechanical absorber in addition to the wing element on a damper element. The mechanical absorber is connected with its comparatively small mass via the spring element and via the damper element with the building, in particular with its supporting structure. Its degree of freedom of movement is the rotation about a fixed pole relative to the structure or the displacement relative to the structure in a given direction. The absorber effect is due to the inertial forces of the mass and the damping forces in the possibly added damper element. Mechanical absorbers themselves have long been known.
Bei dem aeroelastischen Tilger wirken, zusätzlich zu den bei dem mechanischen Tilger wirkenden Trägheits- und Dämpfungskräften, Strömungskräfte an der aerodynamischen Kontrollfläche und an dem Bauwerk. Infolge der zwangläufigen kinematischen Kopplung übertragen sich die Schwingungen des Tilgers auf die Kontrollfläche, womit sich Anstellwinkel und/oder Lage der Kontrollfläche in ebenfalls schwingender Weise zeitlich verändern. Die auf die Kontrollfläche und das Bauwerk wirkenden Strömungskräfte sind deshalb, mit der Schwingung des Tilgers, zeitlich veränderlich, und üben bei richtiger Abstimmung und ausreichender Windgeschwindigkeit eine zusätzliche Tilgerwirkung auf das Bauwerk aus. Die Tilgerwirkung des aeroelastischen Tilgers übersteigt die Trägheits- und Dämpfungskräfte des mechanischen Tilgers erheblich. Schwingungsanfachenden Kräften wird durch den aeroelastischen Tilger effektiv entgegengewirkt, fremdinduzierte Schwingungen werden unterdrückt und die kritische Windgeschwindigkeit für selbstinduzierte Schwingungen (beispielsweise Flattern) wird erhöht.In the aeroelastic absorber, in addition to the inertia and damping forces acting on the mechanical absorber, flow forces act on the aerodynamic control surface and on the structure. As a result of the compulsory kinematic coupling, the oscillations of the absorber transferred to the control surface, whereby the angle of attack and / or position of the control surface in a likewise oscillating manner temporally change. The forces acting on the control surface and the structure flow forces are therefore, with the vibration of the absorber, temporally variable, and exercise with proper tuning and sufficient wind speed, an additional Tilgerwirkung on the building. The absorber action of the aeroelastic absorber significantly exceeds the inertia and damping forces of the mechanical absorber. Vibration inducing forces are effectively counteracted by the aeroelastic damper, extraneous induced vibrations are suppressed, and the critical wind speed for self-induced vibrations (eg, flutter) is increased.
Gleichzeitig mit der Steuerung der Strömungskräfte durch die Bewegung des Tilgers können die auf die aerodynamische Kontrollfläche wirkenden Strömungskräfte über die bestehende zwangläufige Verbindung auch auf die Schwingung des mechanischen Tilgers zurückwirken. Dieser Einfluss ist für die Wirksamkeit der Vorrichtung allerdings nicht erforderlich und kann, sofern störend, durch geeignete Lagerung der Kontrollfläche oder auf andere Weise minimiert werden.Simultaneously with the control of the flow forces by the movement of the absorber, the flow forces acting on the aerodynamic control surface can also act on the vibration of the mechanical absorber via the existing positive connection. However, this influence is not required for the effectiveness of the device and, if disruptive, can be minimized by suitable storage of the control surface or otherwise.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann die Kopplung zwischen mechanischem Tilger und Kontrollfläche derart hergestellt werden, dass Amplituden-, Phasen- und/oder Frequenzverhältnisse zwischen einer Schwingungsbewegung des mechanischen Tilgers und der Schwingungsbewegung der aerodynamischen Kontrollfläche eingestellt werden können. Die Abstimmung kann damit an wechselnde Betriebsbedingungen, etwa eine veränderliche Windgeschwindigkeit, angepasst werden.In a preferred embodiment, the coupling between the mechanical absorber and the control surface can be made such that amplitude, phase and / or frequency relationships between a vibrational movement of the mechanical absorber and the oscillatory motion of the aerodynamic control surface can be adjusted. The tuning can thus be adapted to changing operating conditions, such as a variable wind speed.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung kann eine Steuerung vorgesehen sein, die die Amplituden-, Phasen- und/oder Frequenzverhältnisse entsprechend ansteuert.In a preferred embodiment, a controller may be provided which controls the amplitude, phase and / or frequency ratios accordingly.
Die aerodynamische Kontrollfläche kann als bewegliche Kante oder Flügelelement ausgebildet werden, das direkt an das Bauwerk anschließt und um einen, bezogen auf das Bauwerk, ortsfesten Punkt drehbar gelagert ist. Alternativ kann die aerodynamische Kontrollfläche als ein vom Bauwerk abgesetzter Schild ausgebildet werden, der über Pylone drehbar und/oder verschieblich mit dem Bauwerk verbunden ist. Durch geeignete Gestänge kann die Bewegung des Schilds auch so geführt werden, dass eine Drehung um einen, bezogen auf das Bauwerk, nicht ortsfesten Punkt eintritt.The aerodynamic control surface can be formed as a movable edge or wing element, which connects directly to the building and is mounted rotatably about a stationary point relative to the building. Alternatively, the aerodynamic control surface can be formed as a detached from the building sign, which is rotatably connected via pylons and / or slidably connected to the building. By suitable linkage, the movement of the shield can also be performed so that a rotation about a, relative to the building, not fixed point occurs.
In einer möglichen Ausgestaltung des aeroelastischen Tilgers ist die aerodynamische Kontrollfläche als ein Flügelelement ausgebildet, das mit einem Abschnitt frei aus dem Bauwerk vorsteht.In one possible embodiment of the aeroelastic absorber, the aerodynamic control surface is designed as a wing element which protrudes freely from the structure with a section.
In einer möglichen Ausgestaltung bildet das Flügelelement mit seiner zu beiden Seiten des Lagerpunkts angeordneten Masse im Zusammenspiel mit einer Feder zwischen Flügelelement und Bauwerk den mechanischen Tilger. In einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist das Flügelelement mit einem Arm ausgebildet, der in das Bauwerk hineinragt und dort mittels einer Feder mit dem Bauwerk verbunden ist. Hier bilden Flügelelement, Arm und Feder gemeinsam den mechanischen Tilger.In one possible embodiment, the wing element with its mass arranged on both sides of the bearing point forms the mechanical absorber in interaction with a spring between the wing element and the structure. In an alternative embodiment, the wing element is formed with an arm which projects into the building and is connected there by means of a spring to the building. Wing element, arm and spring together form the mechanical absorber.
In einer bevorzugten Weiterführung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung weist der Arm des Flügelelements an seinem Ende einen Massenkörper auf.In a preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention, the arm of the wing element has a mass body at its end.
In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung sind mindestens zwei aeroelastische Tilger paarweise an gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer Achse angeordnet, wobei sowohl Torsionsschwingungen um die Achse als auch Schwingungen in bestimmte Richtungen gedämpft oder getilgt werden sollen.In a preferred embodiment, at least two aeroelastic absorbers are arranged in pairs on opposite sides of an axis, both Torsionsschwingungen around the axis as well as vibrations in certain directions to be damped or eradicated.
Je nach vorgesehener Federkonstante und gegebenenfalls auch Dämpfungskonstante, können auch jeweils mehrere Feder- oder Dämpferelemente vorgesehen sein, deren Befestigungspunkte in dem Bau- oder Tragwerk bevorzugt räumlich verteilt sind.Depending on the intended spring constant and optionally also damping constant, a plurality of spring or damper elements may be provided in each case, the attachment points are preferably distributed spatially in the building or structure.

In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel von
In dem Ausführungsbeispiel von
Die Tilgerwirkung des mechanischen Tilgers entsteht durch die Trägheitskräfte der beteiligten Massen und die Dämpfungskräfte in dem Dämpferelement.The absorber effect of the mechanical absorber is due to the inertial forces of the masses involved and the damping forces in the damper element.
Bei dem aeroelastischen Tilger des Ausführungsbeispiels überträgt sich die - Verdrehung des mechanischen Tilgers (relativ zur Brücke) auf die im Windstrom liegende, drehbar gelagerte aerodynamische Kontrollfläche 20 bzw. 22, die dem jeweiligen mechanischen Tilger zugeordnet ist. Hierdurch wird das Strömungsfeld dynamisch verändert und zusätzlich zeitveränderliche Luftkräfte induziert. Durch die Abstimmung des Tilgers wirken diese den schwingungsanfachenden Kräften entgegen, wodurch fremdinduzierte Brückenschwingungen beruhigt und die kritische Windgeschwindigkeit für das Flattern erhöht wird.In the case of the aeroelastic absorber of the exemplary embodiment, the rotation of the mechanical absorber (relative to the bridge) is transferred to the
Der erfindungsgemäße mechanische Tilger kann auch in eine vorgegebene gerade Richtung schwingen und kann anstelle des starr mit der aerodynamischen Kontrollfläche verbundenen Hebels auch andere zwangläufige Verbindungen, wie beispielsweise Übersetzungshebel und -getriebe aufweisen. Die Abstimmung des aeroelastischen Tilgers erfolgt durch die Wahl von Masse m, Federkonstante k und Dämpfungskonstante c als den zentralen mechanischen Kenngrößen, der Wahl des Abstands des mechanischem Tilgers von der Brückenachse, der Wahl seines Bewegungsfreiheitsgrads, der Kinematik der zwangläufigen kinematischen Verbindungen sowie der Kontur und der Masse der aerodynamischen Kontrollflächen.The mechanical absorber according to the invention can also oscillate in a predetermined straight direction and, instead of the lever rigidly connected to the aerodynamic control surface, can also have other positive connections, such as transmission levers and gearboxes. The tuning of the aeroelastic damper is done by the choice of mass m, spring constant k and damping constant c as the central mechanical characteristics, the choice of the distance of the mechanical absorber of the bridge axis, the choice of its degree of freedom of movement, the kinematics of the positive kinematic connections and the contour and the mass of the aerodynamic control surfaces.
Wie vorstehend bereits erläutert, besteht die Hauptwirkung des aeroelastischen Tilgers darin, durch eine Schwingungsbewegung der aerodynamischen Kontrollfläche die Luftströmung an dem Bauwerk derart zu lenken, dass ein Aufschaukeln unterbleibt und das Bauwerk stabilisiert wird. Gleichzeitig mit der Steuerung der Strömungskräfte durch die Bewegung des Tilgers können die auf die aerodynamische Kontrollfläche wirkenden Strömungskräfte über die bestehende zwangläufige Verbindung auch auf die Schwingung des mechanischen Tilgers zurückwirken. Dieser Einfluss kann je nach Bauwerk und Auslegung des aeroelastischen Tilgers eine unterstützende oder eine störende Wirkung aufweisen. Durch eine geeignete Lagerung der aerodynamischen Kontrollflächen oder andere Maßnahmen kann diese Rückwirkung auf den mechanischen Tilger unterdrückt werden.As already explained above, the main effect of the aeroelastic damper is to direct the flow of air on the building by a swinging movement of the aerodynamic control surface in such a way that a rocking-up is prevented and the building is stabilized. Simultaneously with the control of the flow forces by the movement of the absorber can on the aerodynamic control surface acting flow forces on the existing zwangläufige connection also act back on the vibration of the mechanical absorber. Depending on the structure and design of the aeroelastic absorber, this influence can have a supporting or disturbing effect. By a suitable storage of the aerodynamic control surfaces or other measures, this reaction can be suppressed to the mechanical absorber.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel, in dem diese Rückwirkung durch die Lagerung der Kontrollfläche unterdrückt wird, ist in
Der aeroelastische Tilger kann ein- oder beidseitig (relativ zur Brückenlängsachse) vorgesehen sein. Bei beidseitiger Anordnung können beide Tilger auch gekoppelt oder unabhängig voneinander betrieben werden. Letzterer Fall ist in
In den Figuren nicht dargestellt ist eine zwangläufige kinematische Kopplung zwischen mechanischem Tilger und aerodynamischer Kontrollfläche, die es erlaubt Frequenzverhältnisse zwischen der Schwingung des mechanischen Tilgers und der Schwingung der aerodynamischen Kontrollfläche einzustellen. Das Amplitudenverhältnis lässt sich im Falle eines Übersetzungsgestänges z. B. durch Verschieben der Verbindungspunkte der Gestängeglieder, wie in
Durch Anschluss des ersten Gestängeglieds in der hinteren Position 52 oder in der vorderen Position 56 kann ein Phasenverhältnis von 0° oder 180° eingestellt werden, wobei die Kopplung des vorderen Gestängeglieds 56 ebenso wie die oben beschriebene Kopplung des hinteren Gestängeglieds 52 erfolgen kann.By connecting the first linkage member in the
Im Falle eines Übersetzungsgetriebes kann das Amplitudenverhältnis abgestuft oder stufenlos mit einem entsprechenden Schaltgetriebe oder stufenlosen Getriebe eingestellt werden.In the case of a transmission, the amplitude ratio can be stepped or continuously adjusted with a corresponding manual or continuously variable transmission.
Das bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wurde im Zusammenhang mit einer Brücke beschrieben, ist jedoch in seinem Einsatz keineswegs auf Brücken beschränkt. Vielmehr kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch bei horizontalen Schwingungen, wie sie beispielsweise bei Türmen auftreten, eingesetzt werden. Hier verläuft die Achse 18 dann in vertikaler Richtung.The preferred embodiment of the invention has been described in the context of a bridge but is by no means limited to bridges in its use. Rather, the device according to the invention can also be used for horizontal vibrations, as they occur, for example, in towers. Here, the
Der aeroelastische Tilger besitzt als besonderen Vorzug, bedingt durch die Entbehrlichkeit externer Energieversorgung, einen hohen Grad an Wirtschaftlichkeit und ein hohes Maß an Betriebssicherheit.The aeroelastic absorber has a special advantage, due to the dispensability of external energy supply, a high degree of efficiency and a high degree of operational safety.
