Passive tuned liquid dampers, being cost-effective, easy to implement, and reliable
structural vibration control devices, have received significant attention from designers and …

Over the years, the wind energy industry has grown rapidly because of its eco-friendly and
sustainability features. The development of wind industry demands larger wind turbines …

A review of representative research on tuned massed dampers (TMD) reported in journals in
recent years is presented. TMDs are divided into four categories: conventional TMDs …

Conventional base isolation has been commonly used to protect structures against
destructive earthquakes. However, base-isolated structures can be vulnerable to ground …

For most cases of interest, exact solutions to nonlinear equations describing stochastic
dynamical systems are not available. The aim of this book is to give a systematic introduction …

Tuned liquid dampers are cost effective dynamic vibration absorbers that are increasingly
being employed to mitigate the dynamic response of tall buildings. A significant reduction in …

Conventional structural design procedures are generally based on two requirements,
namely safety and serviceability. Safety relates to extreme loadings, which have a very low …

Semi-active systems are attractive for structural control applications because they offer some
of the best features of both passive and active systems. This paper examines a passive …

The study investigates the effectiveness of a novel tuned liquid column damper-inerter
(TLCDI) for the seismic vibration control of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure …

Highly dynamic nature of the applied loads on flexible and lightly damped offshore wind
turbine (OWT) foundations affects the lifetime and serviceability of the system. In this study …
