Temperature sensitive controller performance of MR dampers [PDF]

, 2009
Magnetorheological (MR) dampers can experience large temperature changes as a result of heating caused by energy dissipation, but control systems are often designed without consideration of this fact.

Non-linear fe modelling of seismic pounding and damped-mitigating interconnection between a r/c tower and a masonry church [PDF]

, 2013
The finite element analysis of pounding represents one of the most critical issues for the assessment of the seismic performance of R/C structures built at poor distance from adjacent buildings.

Vibro-impact attachments as shock absorbers [PDF]

, 2008
The use of vibro-impact (VI) attachments as shock absorbers is studied. By considering different configurations of primary linear oscillators with VI attachments, the capacity of these attachments to passively absorb and dissipate significant portions ...

Effective mass overshoot in single degree of freedom mechanical systems with a particle damper

, 2011
We study the response of a single degree of freedom mechanical system composed of a primary mass, M, a linear spring, a viscous damper and a particle damper. The particle damper consists in a prismatic enclosure of variable height that contains spherical

Improved toggle-brace viscous damper for vibration mitigation of wind turbine blade

Alexandria Engineering Journal
As wind turbine blades increase in size to capture more wind energy, the significance of effective vibration control becomes paramount. This study introduces two passive damping systems, the toggle-brace viscous damper (TBD) and the shear toggle-brace ...

Universal response of optimal granular damping devices [PDF]

, 2012
Granular damping devices constitute an emerging technology for the attenuation of vibrations based on the dissipative nature of particle collisions. We show that the performance of such devices is independent of the material properties of the particles ...

Experimental research on Chinese antique buildings with dual-lintel-column joint of steel and composite structures

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
In order to study the mechanical behavior of Chinese traditional style architecture dual-lintel-column joint, a typical Chinese traditional style architecture dual-lintel-column joint was selected as the model structure. Two specimens with viscous damper

Hysteretic damper based on the Ishlinsky-Prandtl model

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
In this paper we consider the mathematical model of hysteretic damper based on the Ishlinsky-Prandtl model. The numerical results for the observable characteristics such as force transmission function and “force-displacement” transmission function are ...

Seismic performance analysis of Kuala Lumpur air traffic control tower by friction damper [PDF]

, 2009
In structural earthquake engineering, different kinds of energy absorption devices were invented during last 30 years (Guan et al, 2004). And more than one-decade research has shown that, on account of the virtue of no power requirement, rapid response ...
