Energy-Based Design Criterion of Dissipative Bracing Systems for the Seismic Retrofit of Frame Structures

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Direct sizing criteria represent useful tools in the design of dissipative bracing systems for the advanced seismic protection of existing frame structures, especially when incorporated dampers feature a markedly non-linear behaviour.

Mechanical Modeling of Viscous Fluid Damper with Temperature and Pressure Coupling Effects

open access: yesMachines
During long-duration dynamic loads, such as wind loads or seismic effects, the internal temperature and pressure of a damping cylinder escalate rapidly, which induce shifts in the mechanical attributes of viscous fluid dampers (VFDs).

Performance of Fluid Viscous Dampers on Seismic Response of RCC Structures

open access: yesInternational Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering, 2019
Structures are mainly subjected to various types of loading conditions such as dead loads, live loads and dynamic loads such as earthquake and wind loads etc. The earthquake creates vibration at the base of the structure. In modern seismic design, the damping devices are used to reduce the seismic energy and enable the control of the structural ...

Effects of Dissipative Systems on the Seismic Behavior of Irregular Buildings—Two Case Studies

open access: yesBuildings, 2020
Conservation of heritage buildings has become a very important issue in many countries, as it is in Italy, where a great number of existing buildings of historical–artistic importance are seismically vulnerable.

Seismic energy dissipation study of linear fluid viscous dampers in steel structure design

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal, 2016
Energy dissipation systems in civil engineering structures are sought when it comes to removing unwanted energy such as earthquake and wind. Among these systems, there is combination of structural steel frames with passive energy dissipation provided by ...

Study on the Development of Passive MR Damper with Displacement-Dependent Damping Characteristics

open access: yesJournal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2010
In this paper, we propose a new concept of a magneto-rheological (MR) fluid damper, which is a passive MR fluid damper. The passive MR damper has no electrical devices, such as a sensor, power supply and controller, and hence, it has an advantage in ...

A Basic Study on Oscillatory Characteristics of Magnetic Fluid Viscous Damper.

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series B, 1991
Basic studies of a magnetic fluid viscous damper are carried out theoretically and experimentally to clarify the effect of an applied magnetic field on the characteristics of a vibrating spring-mass system in the magnetic fluid. Experimental study shows that the application of magnetic field is effective reducing the resonance characteristics of the ...
