    My physics textbook goes: Resonance is an important physical phenomena that can appear in a great many different situations. A dramatic example is the Millennium Footbridge in London, opened in June 2000 (Figure 19.29). With up to 2000 pedestrians walking on the bridge,it started to sway dangerously. The people also swayed in time with the bridge, and this caused the amplitude of the bridges oscillation to increase-this is resonance. After three days the bridge was closed. It took engineers two years to analyse the problem and then add 'dampers' to the bridge to absorb the energy of its oscillations. The bridge was then responded and there have been no problem ever since.

    Actualy the horizontan natural frequency of the bridge is very close to the frequency of the walking people there.The human walking frequency domain is known but because that day the bridge was full of people there was a very similar velocity for all persons walking on the bridge.The remarkable thing is that the frequency started to amplify the vibration because it was matching the natural frequency and the people did follow that"rythm"which amplifies the vibration more and that is resonance.

      @@mabz9 Agreed. The natural frequency of the pedestrians becomes the driving frequency of any oscillation. If the driving frequency is close to natural frequency of the bridge, then you have set up resonance. One person can drive a resonant system, but 100 people will impart more energy and drive it to a higher amplitude more quickly.

    • @mazingdaddid
      @mazingdaddid Před 4 lety +9

      Its a feedback loop. The bridge wobbles, so people walk in a certain way to keep balance. That causes the wobble to become amplified, making more people walk in the same way to keep balance. Lots of people keeping step to prevent falling causes the effect to grow and grow.

    I wonder if a cruise ships dampening system, that reacts to cancel out sway, could be used to eliminate bridge sway issues? Water tanks on either side of a section of bridge could work passively or actively.
    We'd need to treat the bridge as if it had several sections with a dampening system for each one. Perhaps all the tanks could be linked together so the water weight is shared and could be redistributed as needed?
    The presence of water ballast tanks on a bridge section would already provide some dampening of vibration as it would simply be absorbed by the water inside the tanks. But once sway was introduced the water would resist that sway while an active gyroscopic system could respond faster and more precisely.

    I was there. There was a strong cross wind blowing downriver. It seemed clear to me that this was setting off a resonant response in the flag poles, and this in turn may have been transmitted to the bridge.This would be a far more embarrassing failure for the construction engineers, all of whom would have grown up watching footage of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. I wouldn’t be surprised if the politics of the time led to the explanation of Synchronous Lateral Excitation being the official verdict.

    💗 Banda Devassa - Rio de Janeiro. (Cultura, Esporte e Lazer).
    "Narrows Bridge" - (O caso da ponte que parece de borracha).
    🇺🇸 "07 de Novembro de 1940" - Em Tacoma, Washington, a "Ponte de Tacoma Narrows" original desaba em um vendaval, (apenas quatro meses após sua inauguração).
    🌉 Ponte de Tacoma Narrows...
    🌉 A Ponte de Tacoma Narrows (Tacoma Narrows Bridge), foi uma ponte pênsil localizada sobre o Estreito de Tacoma, Washington, Estados Unidos e que caiu.
    Quem já assistiu à algum vídeo provavelmente também já foi questionado por alguém:
    📌 "Você já viu aquele vídeo de uma ponte que parece de borracha?".
    Será real ou só mais uma montagem da internet, mais um daqueles casos de pessoas que editam vídeos para ganhar popularidade?
    E por incrível que pareça, "SIM"... esse caso realmente aconteceu e os vídeos são real (exceto a colorização que foi feita posteriormente).

    As imagens são realmente impressionantes e temos a certeza que a maioria das pessoas - (após assistir aos vídeos) - ficou se perguntando:
    📌 "O que realmente aconteceu com aquela ponte?".
    Bem, vamos contar aqui um pouco da história dela...

    Com cerca de 1.600 metros de extensão, estrutura do "tipo Pênsil" com elementos em sua maioria metálicos, foi considerada (naquela época) a 3ª maior ponte suspensa do mundo.
    Construída sobre o Estreito que liga a cidade de Tacoma à Península de Kitsap, no estado de Washington nos Estados Unidos.
    Foi inaugurada em 1° de Julho de 1940 e (entrou em colapso por volta das 11:00 da manhã do dia "07 de novembro" daquele mesmo ano), poucos meses após sua abertura ao tráfego.

    Felizmente não houve vítimas, pois a ponte foi interditada durante a madrugada. Apesar disso um incidente que chamou a atenção foi quando o "Prof°. Farquharson", a despeito de todo o risco de ruptura, entra na ponte para salvar o cachorro que estava dentro do carro abandonado.

    Existem duas correntes de pensamento que divergem quanto a real causa do colapso. Cada uma atribui essa causa à um "fenômeno físico diferente", porém semelhantes:
    🔍 A "Ressonância" e o "Fenômeno de Flutter Aeroelástico".
    Vamos explicar cada um deles, porém primeiramente é preciso entender que, a ponte foi atingida por ventos da ordem de (65 km/h) que perduram por horas. Esse efeito em si não seria suficiente para "colapsar tal estrutura", uma vez que são considerados em cálculo valores muito superiores.

    O "efeito da Ressonância" é explicado fisicamente quando um "sistema" (no caso a ponte) é afetado por um "fenômeno externo" (o vento) com a mesma frequência e atinge picos de amplitude.
    Para exemplificar isso... "imagine um carro atolado". Quem já passou por isso sabe qual a maneira mais fácil de tirá-lo dessa situação...
    Não se deve empurrar o carro com toda força em uma direção e sim em um vai-vem acompanhando sempre o "balanço criado".
    📌 "Esta teoria diz que o vento atuou na mesma frequência natural da ponte, por volta de 36 ciclos por segundo" (para o deslocamento transversal).

    Às 9:30 da manhã o efeito é tão intenso que provoca uma "vibração torcional" de aproximadamente 14 ciclos por segundo com uma amplitude de 0,9 metros, quando no vídeo aparece o "?" efeito borracha?.
    Depois disso a situação se agrava: às 10:00 da manhã ocorre uma "afrouxamento" nos cabos até que por volta das 11:00 o primeiro segmento de tabuleiro se desprende e às 11:10 a ponte entra em colapso.

    A falta de "rigidez transversal e torcional" da estrutura são consideradas as principais causas de "falha da estrutura".

    O "Flutter Aeroelástico" é um (fenômeno aerodinâmico) semelhante à "ressonância". Ele é causado por "forças aerodinâmicas", porém ao contrário do primeiro fenômeno é uma "oscilação auto excitada", ou seja... não há necessidade de repetição constante da força. Veja o vídeo abaixo desse efeito ocorrendo nas asas de um planador...

    Outra característica digna de nota é que o (aço) "?" material utilizado na estrutura do tabuleiro da ponte "?" possui uma "ductilidade muito alta", ou seja... (se deforma muito antes da ruptura total), pois..."possui uma fase e elástica e plástica muito ampla em relação ao concreto", por exemplo, que apresenta uma "ruptura frágil" (com pequena deformação).

    🔍 CURIOSIDADE:
    Os operários que trabalharam na construção da ponte à chamavam de "Galloping Gertie" (algo como Gertrude Galopante, em tradução livre), antes mesmo do colapso.

    A teoria mais aceita é a do "flutter", porém era pouco conhecida em estruturas de pontes (àquela época)... e desconsiderada em cálculos estruturais.

    Outro caso famoso de deslocamento de pontes, porém dessa vez sem ocorrência de torção é o da "Passarela do Milênio", em Londres. O vídeo abaixo foi filmado no dia de sua inauguração e mostra os grandes deslocamentos horizontais que ela sofria por conta das "forças dinâmicas" do caminhar de um grande número de pedestres.

    📌 O problema foi resolvido com a instalação de "amortecedores" para conter os deslocamentos horizontais.

    O governo americano do "pós-guerra" reconstruiu a ponte do Estreito de Tacoma que foi reinaugurada em (14 de Outubro 1950), dessa vez... "com as devidas correções estruturais".
    A ponte permanece funcional até hoje e em 1998 ganhou uma outra via paralela, devido ao grande crescimento populacional da região que excedeu sua capacidade de tráfego.

    Há também uma "lenda" que uma ponte teria sido derrubada por soldados em marcha, por conta do "efeito de ressonância", que inclusive foi apresentada no programa televisivo Mythbusters do Discovery Channel... "mas nada comprovado".
