Electromagnetic dampers are emerging as alternatives to conventional dampers applied to stay cables of bridges because they can reduce maintenance costs and allow vibration monitoring owing to their permanent driving characteristics and self-generation function. In this study, the main equations (including those for the induced electromotive force of the active coils and the total damping force of the damper) were derived through magnetic circuit analysis using the main parameters of the electromagnetic damper model. Characteristic tests were performed on electromagnetic damper prototypes to analyze the hysteretic dynamics and derive characteristics according to their structure and excitation conditions. On the basis of the results, we proposed a regenerative hybrid electrodynamic damper with an oxygen-free copper tube and teeth structure. Its physical and electromagnetic behaviors were examined through an electromagnetic analysis of the finite element model of the proposed damper. The results confirmed that attenuation occurred via strengthened magnetic flows, and the estimated power production is suitable for energy harvesting applications. Therefore, we confirmed the feasibility of constructing a system that can simultaneously perform cable attenuation and vibration monitoring using the proposed damper.
