Semiactive control systems have received considerable attention for protecting structures
against natural hazards such as strong earthquakes and high winds, because they not only …

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

In this paper, the optimal performance of a magnetorheological (MR) damper which is used
in a tuned mass damper in reducing the peak responses of a single-degree-of-freedom …

A 400kN magnetorheological damper (MR damper) for a real base-isolated building was
developed and its dynamic characteristics were verified by experimental tests. The MR …

Magneto‐rheological (MR) dampers are a promising device for seismic hazard mitigation
because their damping characteristics can be varied adaptively using an appropriate control …

Smart structures are civil or mechanical structures that can automatically and intelligently
react to external dynamic loadings such as vibration shocks, strong winds, destructive …

An electromagnetic inertial mass damper (EIMD) is an inerter-based damper that can
significantly enhance the seismic performance of a frame structure. However, the stochastic …

Vibration isolation and control of structures subjected to different types of dynamic loads due
to periodic forces, impact and shock type forces and earthquake forces is an important area …

This study addresses the design of nonlinear elastic springs that render an effective re-
centering mechanism for a flat sliding base isolation system. A nonlinear stiffening behavior …

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation on the seismic control efficiency and
response prediction for a hybrid isolation system, incorporating hysteretic damping (HD) and …
