Equivalent Viscous Damping for the Elasto-Plastic Hysteretic Model [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy: Constructions, Architechture Section, 2005
The paper proposes some formulae to determine the equivalent linear parameters for spectral earthquake response of SDOF non-linear systems. The proposed formulae for the equivalent viscous damping and equivalent period are valid for the elasto-plastic ...

Dynamic behavior of steel frames: influence of material yielding and hysteretic damping mechanisms [PDF]

open access: yesREM: International Engineering Journal
Recent research has increasingly focused on the inelastic behavior of steel frames under severe dynamic forces, which can lead to plastic deformation, damage accumulation, and potential collapse.

Restoring Force Model of an Energy-Dissipation Joint in Hybrid Frames: Simplified Skeleton Curve and Hysteretic Rules

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
In this paper, a restoring force model, composed of a trilinear skeleton curve and hysteretic rules, is proposed based on nine pseudostatic tests of the energy-dissipation joint under horizontal low cyclic loading.

Energy Dissipation Characteristics and Dynamic Modeling of the Coated Damping Structure for Metal Rubber of Bellows

open access: yesMetals, 2018
A novel coated damping structure for metal rubber (MR) of bellows is designed based on large-size metal rubber sheets. This structure is dynamically tested in the bending direction at normal temperature.

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Full‐scale Shaking Table Tests on a 10‐story Steel Moment‐resisting Frame Building with Buckling‐restrained Braces

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In February 2023, a comprehensive series of shaking table tests were conducted at the E‐Defense facility, the world's largest three‐dimensional earthquake simulator, on a full‐scale 10‐story steel moment‐resisting frame supplemented with BRBs.

Equivalent Viscous Damping Ratio Model for Flexure Critical Reinforced Concrete Columns

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
In order to determine the energy dissipation capacity of flexure critical reinforced concrete (RC) columns reasonably, an expression for describing the hysteretic behavior including loading and unloading characteristics of flexure critical RC columns is ...

Sensitivity of 3D Base‐Isolated Buildings to Individual Isolator Variability

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Variability in elastomeric isolators arises from differences in rubber formulation and curing, leading to noticeable changes in stiffness and damping among nominally identical bearings. While most previous studies have examined global isolator variability associated with environmental or aging effects, individual isolator variability has ...

FOURIER ANALYSIS OF HYSTERETIC DAMPING MECHANISMS

open access: yesLe Journal de Physique Colloques, 1985
A Fourier analysis of Granato-Lücke breakaway predicts amplitudes of acoustic harmonics that are comparable in order of magnitude to those observed in iron. A similar analysis of Rayleigh-law hysteresis brings out the essential differences between these two examples of hysteresis.

Concept, Tests, and Optimum Design of Novel Negative Stiffness Friction Dampers for Seismic Protection of Long‐Span Bridges

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Viscous dampers (VDs) are widely used to mitigate the excessive responses of long‐span bridges. However, VDs face some intricate challenges in engineering practices, including high damping coefficient requirement, potential base shear amplification and tremendous damping force under high velocity. To address these issues, this study develops a
