New device for damping vibrations in long-span suspension bridges

Bridges need tob e designed against wind-induced vibrations as flatter, phenomena of capital importance in long-span suspension bridges. We introduce an invention based on fixed wings with no moving mechanical parts and no requirements for power source that increases the critical wind speed on 30%. High robustness, low installation costs and total adaptability to local climate conditions represent important advantages to the current state of the art.
