Permanent construction has evolved from the Palaeolithic age to today's skyscrapers.
Constructing the structure, which promises occupants safety, has become a concern …

In this study, the performance of a proposed friction damper with two slip loads in controlling
the seismic response of steel moment resisting buildings structures under moderate and …

This paper investigates a new passive damper coupling the energy dissipative mechanisms
of dry friction and piezoelectric shunting circuit for Integrally Bladed Disks (blisks). The idea …

Semi-active dry friction dampers with proper control strategies on the normal force can
outperform the conventional passive frictional dampers. In this paper, a design approach …

For classic friction dampers, the normal force on the contact interface is designed to be
constant and cannot be easily adjusted post-manufacturing. The damping performance will …

This paper proposes, tests numerically and verifies experimentally a decentralized control
algorithm with local feedback for semi-active mitigation of free vibrations in frame structures …

Vibration processes play a significant role in the modern industry. In most cases, vibration
reduces strength, reliability, and durability of industrial machines, mechanisms, and …

A previous study proposed an optimal vibration isolator for self-excitation, but the solution
results showed a critical drawback for the basement input. Because the plant system is …

If an unexpected vibration or force is expected to be generated during operation, a vibration
mount must be installed beneath the support system. A mass-block can be considered to …

FRP-reinforced concrete shear walls (FRCWs) are able to achieve satisfactory residual
deformation and corrosion resistance compared with steel reinforced concrete walls …
