Due to its inherent low damping, a power transmission line is prone to wind induced
vibration. Vibration control is needed to suppress the aeolian vibration of the transmission …

In this study, a new auxetic yield metal (AYM) damper is introduced for the first time based
on the application of the auxetic structure. The performance of the proposed system is …

Featured Application The presented device aims to passively suppress the vibrations of
suspended piping systems and improve structural resiliency and occupant safety. Abstract …

Clutching inerter damper (CID) is an innovative damping device with inherent nonlinearity.
In this paper, the description of the CID system is firstly made followed by the analyses of …

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 …

Commonly used rail pads (RPs) in urban rail transit fastening systems comprise prismatic
and grooved rail pads (PRP and GRP). This research introduced novel mesh-type and mesh …

This paper aim to study the in-plane flexural behaviors of circular hollow section (CHS) T-
joints by quasi-static cyclic loading test and finite element (FE) analysis. Two specimens …

Large displacement of structures observed during seismic excitations may lead to collisions
between two adjacent, insufficiently-separated buildings and may result in major damages …

Seismic excitations may lead to collisions between adjacent civil engineering structures,
causing major damage. In this paper, an effective equation for calculating the gap size index …

Due to their construction features, many structures have confined spaces, such as the hollow
tube of a wind turbine tower and the tube members of large-span space structures. To meet …
