Performance tests and microstructure‐based sigmoid model for a three‐coil magnetorheological damper
Magnetorheological (MR) damper is one of the most promising smart devices for dissipating seismic energy and reducing structural vibrations. The MR dampers with multiple coils are widely adopted to enhance the output damping forces and seismic ...

Tuned mass-damper-inerter (TMDI) for suppressing edgewise vibrations of wind turbine blades
This paper proposes the use of a tuned mass-damper-inerter (TMDI) for the mitigation of edgewise blade vibrations in wind turbines. The hollow nature of the wind turbine blades is utilized to install a TMDI at a location close to the tip of each blade. A

Seismic Performance Evaluation of Building-Damper System under Near-Fault Earthquake
The building-damper system designed by a seismic code is usually considered to be able to withstand the attack of strong earthquakes. However, near-fault earthquakes, especially those with the forward-directivity effect, might cause early and unexpected ...
