An extensive investigation of the international literature is carried out regarding the passive
energy dissipation systems and more specifically the dampers that can be positioned in …

This paper proposes a new type of self-centering (SC) damper which exploits the shape
memory alloy (SMA) bolts and variable friction mechanism, termed the SMA slip friction …

This paper investigates the cyclic behavior of a steel self-centering (SC) rocking column. The
steel SC rocking column consists of an H-section steel column and a pair of shape memory …

By employing two or more types of braces, hybrid braced frames (HBFs) combine the merits
of the adopted braces and offsets their drawbacks. However, the corresponding seismic …

Combining self-centering braces (SCBs) and fluid viscous damping braces (FVDBs) in
parallel emerges as a promising seismic-resistant strategy, because it has the potential of …

This paper reports an experimental work on a novel self-centering brace, which is a serial
combination of shape memory alloy slip friction damper and steel tube. The study initiates …

该文将超弹性形状记忆合金(shape memory alloy, SMA) 螺栓和摩擦斜面结合, 提出一种SMA
滑动摩擦阻尼器(SMA slip friction damper, SMASFD). 介绍了SMASFD 的基本构造和工作原理 …

Civil infrastructures are vulnerable to catastrophic failures when exceeding the limit loading,
requiring a reliable structural control mechanism, such as bracing systems, to enhance the …

In this paper, the behavior of an innovative metallic damper made of butterfly plates (with
shear or flexural mechanisms) to improve the behavior of the CBF system is considered …

Self-centering energy-absorbing dual rocking core (SEDRC) system was recently proposed
for obtaining damage-free performance under design earthquakes or low damage under …
