Structural vibration is a common phenomenon existing in various engineering fields such as
machinery, aerospace, and civil engineering. It should be noted that the effective …

This paper presents a summary of current practice and recent developments in the
application of passive energy dissipation systems for seismic protection of structures. The …

Damped outrigger system is effective for improving energy dissipation for tall buildings.
However, conventional damped outrigger (CDO) system with viscous damping has two …

In this study, we propose a new seismic control device, tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD),
for building systems. We give a detailed description of an apparent mass amplifier using a …

Acrylate rubber molecules contain sterically hindered and highly polar ester groups, which
can generate a large amount of internal friction energy under external alternating stress and …

By introducing negative stiffness devices, this study further improves the maximum
achievable damping ratio of conventional damped outrigger (CDO) structures with flexible …

Continuing the tradition of the best-selling Handbook of Structural Engineering, this second
edition is a comprehensive reference to the broad spectrum of structural engineering …

The earthquake protection of structures equipped with energy dissipation devices in the form
of nonlinear fluid viscous dampers (FVDs) is investigated. Most of the optimal design …

Installation of damping devices has been limited to diagonal or chevron brace configurations
until the recent development of the toggle-brace configurations. These configurations …

This paper presents a new vibration control device by which the equivalent mass and
damping of a structure are increased simultaneously. The vibration control system, rotational …
