Abstract

The sound modeling of any mechanical system requires careful experimental observations. For complex structures such as suspension bridges, the observations have to be taken from history and not just from lab experiments. In this chapter we survey several historical events and we attempt to classify the observed phenomena in suitable categories. The most instructive event is certainly the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse which is analysed in great detail, together with many different attempts of explanations. None of them seems to answer to all the questions raised by the collapse.
