The two bridges currently spanning the Tacoma Narrows' previous path have shorn up those flaws, but London's Millennium Bridge and Russia's Volgograd Bridge have both had "flutter"-related flaws exposed in the 21st century.ĭon't blame resonance for the most famous bridge-collapse of all. The phenomenon of flutter is now well-understood, but it has to be remembered in order to be effective. The engineers who investigated its collapsed began to understand the phenomenon quickly within 10 years, they had a new sub-field of science to call their own: bridge aerodynamics-aeroelastics.

Unfortunately, the story is a complete myth.Ī large section of the concrete roadway in the center span of the new Tacoma (Wash.) Narrows bridge. It is my greatest honor to help you reconnect to a sense of well-being, progress, and deepened awareness on your path. It was a testimony to the power of resonance, and has been used as a classic example in physics and engineering classes across the country ever since. After undulating for over an hour, the middle section collapsed, and the bridge was destroyed. Just four months later, under the right wind conditions, the bridge was driven at its resonant frequency, causing it to oscillate and twist uncontrollably. As the third largest suspension bridge in the world, behind only the George Washington and Golden Gate bridges, it connected Tacoma to the entire Kitsap Peninsula in Puget Sound, and opened to the public on July 1st, 1940.
The number of harmonics in a resonance is limited by the number of degrees of freedom. Fourier analysis is used to identify harmonic components of a resonance. Resonance embraces complex oscillations made up of multiple harmonics. The collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on the morning of November 7, 1940, is the most iconic example of a spectacular bridge failure in modern times. Harmonic is a simple, usually sinusoidal, oscillation at a single frequency. such a frequency that the internal stresses will destroy it. A wine glass, stimulated by a continued sound at just the right pitch/frequency, will vibrate at.
