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 …

An increase in the number of complaints arising from annoying human-induced vibrations in
new floor structures has been observed over recent years. The main reasons for this are …

The protection of civil structures, including their material contents and human occupants, is
without doubt a worldwide priority of the most serious importance. Such protection may …

An innovative concept, smart structural systems have proven to be extremely effective in
absorbing damaging energy and/or counteracting potentially devastating force, thus limiting …

This paper discusses the optimum design of tuned mass damper (TMD) for seismically
excited building structures. In the design process the multi degree of freedom structures are …

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 …

Passive energy dissipation devices (EDDs), such as viscous dampers, viscoelastic dampers,
etc., have been used to effectively reduce the dynamic response of civil infrastructures, such …

An experimental study of a base-isolated, 1: 4 scale, three-story steel frame is presented.
The isolation system incorporates laminated rubber (elastomeric) bearings combined with …

Because of the large number of degrees-of-freedom involved in modeling wind-excited tall
buildings, three reduced-order control methods are presented and their performances are …

This paper presents an H∞ controller design approach for vibration attenuation of seismic-
excited building structures with time delay in control input. The time delay is assumed to be …
