A detailed literature review of the recent advances in hybrid vibration-control systems was
presented in this article. In the literature, a combination of two or more vibration-control …

This chapter describes some of the recent studies on the optimal control of structures.
Initially, different passive, active and semi-active control devices are introduced and the …

This paper investigates the effectiveness of two adaptive control strategies for modulating
the control force of variable friction dampers (VFDs) that are employed as semi-active …

Complexities inherent to large‐scale modern civil structures pose many challenges in the
design of feedback structural control systems for dynamic response mitigation. With the …

The scope of the book is the application of vibration mitigation systems in structural
engineering. The intended content includes the theoretical background covering aspects …

Implementation of high performance controllable damping devices can ameliorate cost-
effectiveness of structural systems for mitigation of natural hazards. However, the …

The dynamic response of a flexible multi-story structure isolated with the variable friction
pendulum system (VFPS) under near-fault ground motions is investigated. The fault normal …

A semi-active friction damper (SAFD) can be employed for the seismic protection of
structural systems. The effectiveness of an SAFD in absorbing seismic energy is usually …

Supplemental damping can be used as a cost-effective method to reduce structural
vibrations. In particular, passive systems are now widely accepted and have numerous …

This paper investigates the performance of a novel semiactive damping device at mitigating
nonsimultaneous multihazard loads. The device, termed modified friction device (MFD), has …
