Earthquake response of adjacent structures with viscoelastic and friction dampers [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics, 2015
We study the seismic response of two adjacent structures connected with a dry friction damper. Each of them consists of a viscoelastic rod and a rigid block, which can slide without friction along the moving base.

Two-dimensional linear friction damper consists of concave conical lever and disc (Investigation of fundamental property by simplified model)

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
A passive vibration isolation system consisting of a friction damper is advantageous at cost, a maintenance, etc. However, the conventional damper of constant friction force has performance limitations; the isolation performance declines and the residual

How to play a disc brake [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We consider a gyroscopic system under the action of small dissipative and non-conservative positional forces, which has its origin in the models of rotating bodies of revolution being in frictional contact.

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...
