Equipping energy dissipation devices in the structures is one of the effective methods to
resist earthquake disasters. Here, a novel buckling-controlled brace inspired by origami (O …

Dynamic attenuation is a major concern in many engineering fields, and excessive energy
inputs may cause fatal damages to the key devices. Therefore, there is always a demand to …

To evaluate the seismic performance of a high-rise building with transfer slab, a scaled
model with a ratio of 1: 15 is fabricated and shake table tests are conducted to investigate …

This study proposes a very simple and low-cost friction mechanism using a pre-stressed
cable passing over two fixed pulleys without rotation along with an eccentric continuous …

This paper develops a geometrically nonlinear mathematical model of a flexible cantilevered
beam hosting a guided axially elastic tendon. The model is intended as an enabling tool to …

A novel system identification technique called Mod-ζ (var) is formulated, implemented, and
validated to study the seismic response of a 3D R/C shear wall building during the 2010 …

An innovative passive vibration control system employed pulley tackle mechanism (Movable
Pulley Damper System: MPDS) in coupled structures is proposed in this paper. A cable can …

This study proposes an innovative passive vibration-control system, named the Pulley
Damper Multi-story System (PDMAS), which incorporates pulley tackles installed at multiple …
