An optimal design strategy based on genetic algorithms (GA) is proposed for nonlinear
hysteretic control devices that prevent pounding damage and achieve the best results in …

This paper analyzes the properties of the dynamic behavior of two adjacent buildings of
different height connected by viscous/viscoelastic dampers located at the top of the shortest …

Parameters of connecting dampers between two adjacent structures and twin-tower
structure with large podium are optimized through theoretical analysis. The connecting visco …

This paper presents a new vibration control system based on a seesaw mechanism with
fluid viscous dampers. The proposed vibration control system comprises three parts: brace …

This paper investigates optimum viscous damper capacity and number for prevention of one-
sided structural pounding between two adjacent buildings under earthquake motion. The …

The mechanical properties of viscoelastic dampers (VED) generally vary depending on the
loading conditions such as input frequency, amplitude, and temperature, which makes the …

A new kind of vibration isolation and mitigation device with high damping is designed and
