High-rise structures are normally tall and slender with a large height-width ratio. Under the
strong seismic action, such a structure may experience violent vibrations and large …

Background Eddy current damper (ECD) pledges better control over damping coefficient,
provides contactless damping, requires little or no maintenance, has simpler construction …

In this research, a novel robust decentralised H (H∞ and H 2) design combined with a
pattern search method (PSM), incorporating considerations of multiple modal dynamics, was …

A plate-type eddy-current damper with high energy-dissipation capability is designed and
analyzed. The damper is configured in a dimension of 270 mm× 500 mm× 80 mm by …

Eddy currents in a conductor moving in a non-uniform magnetic field in a static coordinate
system are expressed as the superposition of the term by the partial derivative of the …

Pendulum tuned mass damper with eddy current damping (EC-PTMD) is a promising TMD
device for vibration control of structures. Previous study focused primarily on the plate-like …

In this paper, a high-energy density electromagnetic buffer (EMB) is studied and analysed
for the violent acceleration and high velocity of intensive impact loads. First, the design …

All buildings are innovative solutions to accommodate the increasing human population in
small land areas. Wind-induced vibrations are quite significant in tall buildings. Increasing …
