Ductility Demands on Self-Centering Systems under Earthquake Loading
ACI Structural Journal, 2005This paper describes the seismic response of self-centering single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems in the form of constant-R ductility spectra. Constant-R ductility spectra for self-centering SDOF systems are computed and compared with those of SDOF systems representing conventional reinforced concrete (RC) systems (represented as bilinear ...

Economic Feasibility Study of Self-Centering Concentrically Braced Frame Systems
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2018AbstractSelf-centering concentrically braced frame (SC-CBF) systems have been developed to increase the drift capacity of conventional concentrically braced frame (CBF) systems prior to damage to r...

Acute animal studies of the STARFlex system: A new self-centering cardioSEAL septal occluder
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2000The STARFlex system is a modified CardioSEAL device with a flexible self-centering mechanism comprised of nitinol springs strung between opposing arms, a connecting ball (sleeve joint that allows the device to pivot prerelease), and a front-loading delivery system.

REPAIRABLE FUSE SYSTEM FOR SELF-CENTERING ROCKING SHEAR WALL
Among popular resilient structural systems, the rocking wall is considered as a simple option for buildings in the earthquake prone regions. The present study investigates the proper characteristics for the wall-base connection of precast walls that leads to a ‘‘repairable building’’ but at the same time make the least change in the common constructionopenaire +1 more source
