Optimization of Viscoelastic Tuned Mass Damper Systems Subjected to Coloured Excitations
ABSTRACT In recent decades, there has been growing interest in innovative vibration control strategies to improve the structural reliability of buildings and civil structures against earthquakes, windstorms and other dynamic excitations. One of the most effective methods for reducing dynamic responses is the implementation of tuned mass dampers (TMDs),

Statistical Properties of Earthquake Accelerograms and Equivalent Earthquake Excitation Pattern [PDF]
In order to analyze the earthquake responses of structures, it is first very important to predict reasonably an earthquake excitation pattern referring to the model of a structural system and the measures of aseismic safety.

ABSTRACT Lead high‐damping rubber (LHDR) bearings, composed of high‐damping rubber and lead core, are effective isolation devices that address increased seismic demands. The temperature effect on the behavior of LHDR bearings is significant, leading to increased initial stiffness at low temperatures.

Characterization of response spectra through the statistics of oscillator response [PDF]
This paper presents the physical relationships that exist between the response spectra and the Fourier Transform of strong-motion accelerograms through the extreme value statistics of oscillator response. Under the assumption of a stationary response, it

Stochastic ground motion simulation models are often less accurate at lower frequencies than at higher frequencies when fitting recorded data unless supplemented by a deterministic forward directivity velocity pulse model. Moreover, time‐modulated stochastic models, which adjust ground motion amplitudes over time, typically use functions that fail to ...

Influence of near-fault effects and of incident angle of earthquake waves on the seismic inelastic demands of a typical Jack-Up platform [PDF]
In this paper, the potential influence of near-fault effects and of the incident angle of earthquake waves to the seismic response of a typical jack-up offshore platform is assessed by means of incremental dynamic analysis involving a three dimensional ...

Zero baseline correction of strong-motion accelerograms [PDF]
A new method is proposed for standard baseline correction of strong-motion accelerograms. It is based on high-pass filtering of the uncorrected digitized accelerogram data.
