The Galloping Response of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom System

Abstract

The galloping response of a two-degree-of-freedom system is investigated using asymptotic techniques to generate approximate steady-state solutions. Simple closed-form analytic solutions and stability criteria are presented for the case where the two structural natural frequencies are harmonically separated. Examples of the nature of the galloping response of a particular section are presented for the case where the frequencies are harmonically separated as well as for the case where the two natural frequencies are near an integer multiple of each other. The results of the approximate analysis are compared with experimental and numerical results.
