Preliminary design of a test rig for combining passive nonlinear isolation with active control
, 2012 Resilient elements are typically used to isolate delicate equipment from a vibrating host structure. Conventionally, these isolators are designed to operate in their linear region, but more recently nonlinear isolators have been employed to increase the ...

On the optimal design of base isolation devices [PDF]
, 2013 The paper deals with the optimal design of a base isolation system for a given structure subjected to seismic loads. In particular, an appropriate minimum displacement seismic protection device optimal design formulation is proposed for an assigned ...

Slotted Aloha for Networked Base Stations
, 2014 We study multiple base station, multi-access systems in which the user-base station adjacency is induced by geographical proximity. At each slot, each user transmits (is active) with a certain probability, independently of other users, and is heard by ...

MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMAL DESIGN OF BASE ISOLATED DEVICE IN BASE-ISOLATED STRUCTURE
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering (Transactions of AIJ), 2010 This paper examines the efficiency of the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2) in order to obtain the optimal arrangement of base-isolation devices in buildings. SPEA2 is part of the Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA). This method is used for multi-purpose optimization problems with two or more targets functions that couldn't have ...
