Influence of Fluid Viscous Damper on the Dynamic Response of Suspension Bridge under Random Traffic Load by Yue Zhao, Pingming Huang, Guanxu Long, Yangguang Yuan, Yamin Sun

“…However, when the velocity exponent was 0.1, an excessive damping coefficient brought little improvement and may lead to high-intensity work under traffic flow, which will adversely affect component durability. The benefits of low velocity exponent also reduced when the damping coefficient was high enough, so if the velocity exponent has to be increased, the damping coefficient can be enlarged to fit with the velocity exponent. …”
