CABLE STAY AERODYNAMIC DAMPER BAND AND METHOD OF USE
摘要
Wind/rain induced vibrations, as well as vortex shedding vibrations induced in a cable stay or a similar elongated, cylindrical element are dampened and substantially eliminated by applying a plurality of flexible damper bands to the cable at spaced intervals. The damper bands break up the formation of rivulets of water at lower wind speeds. These damper bands can be retrofit to existing cables or can be installed on new cables.
