Computational Comparison of Performance of Different Steel Plate Shear Yielding Dampers
The computational modeling of hysteretic dampers is a powerful tool for design, allowing us to predict and optimize damper performance. In this research, a numerical model, based on Chaboche’s nonlinear kinematic hardening constitutive law, was ...

Transformation seismology: composite soil lenses for steering surface elastic Rayleigh waves. [PDF]
Metamaterials are artificially structured media that exibit properties beyond those usually encountered in nature. Typically they are developed for electromagnetic waves at millimetric down to nanometric scales, or for acoustics, at centimeter scales. By

Multi-objective optimal design of inerter-based vibration absorbers for earthquake protection of multi-storey building structures [PDF]
In recent years different inerter - based vibration absorbers (IVAs) emerged for the earthquake protection of building structures coupling viscous and tuned - mass dampers with an inerter device . In the three most popular IVAs the inerter is functioning
