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 …

Cities that are adopting innovative and technology‐driven solutions to improve the city's
efficiency are considered smart cities. With the increased attention on smart cities with self …

This paper presents two inerter‐based isolation systems, namely, an inerter‐damper (ID)–
based isolation with an inerter in parallel with a viscous damper and a tuned ID (TID)–based …

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 …

Fractional order PID (FOPID) controllers are introduced as a general form of classical PID
controllers using fractional calculus. As this controller provides good disturbance rejection …

The mission of seismic isolation is two folds:(i) protecting the integrity and (ii) protecting the
contents of a structure by reducing floor accelerations to target limits and concurrently …

A new unbonded post‐tensioned precast concrete (PTPC) frame with controllable post‐
decompression stiffness (CPDS), achieved by employing novel variable friction energy …

This study assesses the performance of a novel passive variable friction damper (PVFD) at
mitigating wind-and seismic-induced vibrations. The PVFD consists of two friction plates …

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 …

An adaptive controller has adjustable parameters and a mechanism for modifying them. It
can continuously monitor its own performance in relation to a given condition and has a …
