Hysteresis response of nonlinear flutter of a truss girder: Experimental investigations and theoretical predictions

•Nonlinear flutter with hysteresis effects of a bridge deck was studied.•Inner mechanism of the hysteresis effects was interpreted.•Nonlinear mathematical models were proposed to predict the flutter responses.•An approach is proposed to identify the nondimensional aerodynamic parameters. Nonlinear f...
