This paper provides a novel Finite Element (FE) simulation to estimate the out-of-plane
response of masonry prisms retrofitted with Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) stripes. Empirical …

The behavior of masonry shear walls reinforced with pseudoelastic Ni–Ti shape memory
alloy (SMA) strips and engineered cementitious composite (ECC) sheets is the main focus of …

In view of the insufficiency of bidirectional seismic control of long-span cable-stayed bridges
as well as the limitations of existing schemes, a multi-direction damping system (MDDS) was …

The out-of-phase vibration between neighboring structures owing to their different vibration
characteristics and spatially varying seismic excitations may result in strong impact between …

This study presents the effectiveness of a new metallic damper called bar damper (BD) in
improving the cyclic performance of a semi-rigid frame. The BD consists of solid bars …

Several types of brick bond patterns are used to construct masonry walls. A masonry wall's
reaction to shear, compression, and in-plane stresses may be significantly affected by the …

The energy dissipation capacity (EDC) of most current configurations of yielding steel
dampers is susceptible to be improved by applying optimization concepts. Thus, this study …

This study proposes a numerical analysis of the behavior of SMA based damper devices
under cyclic loading. Three-dimensional finite element model was established in ANSYS. To …

The energy dissipation capacity (EDC) of most current configurations of yielding steel
dampers is susceptible to be improved by applying optimization concepts. Thus, this study …

Bridges have a special place in transportation infrastructure due to their direct connection
with other places. These structures aim to carry highway traffic loads, pass any obstacle and …
