Magnetorheological (MR) materials are a group of smart materials used in new technologies
with controlled reliability. The development of these materials is expanding, starting from MR …

Structural systems often show nonlinear behavior under severe excitations generated by
natural hazards. In that condition, the restoring force becomes highly nonlinear showing …

The performance of passive hybrid control systems for the earthquake protection of a cable-
stayed bridge under real earthquake ground motion is presented. A simplified lumped mass …

This paper presents the experimental investigations of a novel self‐centering damper (SCD)
for controlling seismic responses of cable‐stayed bridges. The damper is fabricated …

To investigate the efficiency of passive energy dissipation devices in protecting cable-stayed
bridges from severe damage when subjected to high-intensity ground motions, a 1/20-scale …

The seismic behavior of a cable‐stayed bridge incorporated with negative stiffness dampers
(may be active or semi‐active dampers, simulated by pseudo‐viscoelastic (P‐VE) dampers) …

In this paper, the effectiveness of passive dampers and a hybrid control system consisting of
passive viscous dampers installed in parallel with semi‐active dampers is investigated …
