Collapse risk and residual drift performance of steel buildings using post-tensioned MRFs and viscous dampers in near-fault regions [PDF]

, 2016
The potential of post-tensioned self-centering moment-resisting frames (SC-MRFs) and viscous dampers to reduce the collapse risk and improve the residual drift performance of steel buildings in near-fault regions is evaluated.

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.

The dynamic characterisation of disk geometry particle dampers [PDF]

, 2005
Particle dampers (PDs) have the advantages of being simple in geometry, small in volume and applicable in extreme temperature environments. Experimental studies have shown that PDs can offer considerable potential for suppressing structural resonant ...
