A Parallel Scheme of Friction Dampers and Viscous Dampers for Girder-End Longitudinal Displacement Control of a Long-Span Suspension Bridge under Operational and Seismic Conditions

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
Benefitting from economic development and technological progress, long-span suspension bridges, with their superior span capacity and good economy, have been built in large numbers in recent decades.

Discussion on Calculation Method of Magnification Factor of Toggle-Brace-Viscous Damper

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
At present, dampers are widely used in the field of energy dissipation in engineering structures. However, when the displacement and velocity output of dampers are not significant under small and medium-sized earthquakes, it is difficult for a damper to ...

Temperature sensitive controller performance of MR dampers [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Integrated design of hybrid interstory-interbuilding multi-actuation schemes for vibration control of adjacent buildings under seismic excitations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The design of vibration control systems for the seismic protection of closely adjacent buildings is a complex and challenging problem. In this paper, we consider distributed multi-actuation schemes that combine interbuilding linking elements and ...

On the Seismic Response of Composite Structures Equipped with Wall Dampers Under Multiple Earthquakes

open access: yesModelling
This study investigates the seismic performance of two-, four-, and six-story composite buildings equipped with viscous wall dampers, focusing on structures with concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns and steel beams. Through nonlinear time history

Investigations on the Dynamic Response of Adjacent Buildings Connected by Viscous Dampers

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
This paper investigates the seismic performance of two adjacent buildings connected by viscous dampers. Three types of damper placement are discussed, including installing dampers within a single building, connecting two buildings at the same floor level,

Spatially Tailorable Liquid Crystalline Elastomer Alignment During Digital Light Process 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Here, we report the fabrication of 3D printable liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE) structures with spatially tailorable alignment domains within the same layer. This work addresses the long‐standing challenge of preparing complex 3D LCE architectures with patterned functional domains to achieve nonlinear deformations. Fabrication of multi‐domains in 3D
