The seismic resilience of industrial structures has become an increasingly important issue
considering the significant role played by industrial structures in social operation and post …

In this paper, a novel rotational two-level friction damper (RTFD) was proposed and its cyclic
behavior was experimentally validated. The RTFD realizes the two-level working behavior …

The quasi-zero-stiffness (QZS) Gough-Stewart vibration isolation platform is designed for six
degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) low-frequency vibration isolation. Lots of studies regarding the …

Energy-dissipative beam-to-column joints are an effective method for improving the seismic
performance of precast concrete (PC) frame structures. The development of double-stage …

A novel bending-friction coupled damper (BFCD), capable of providing stable energy
dissipation and improved stiffness against multi-level earthquakes, is proposed in the …

In this study, a novel parallel double-stage crawler-track-shaped shear damper (PDCSD)
was developed, which is fabricated using thin-walled steel plates. An asynchronized double …

Aiming at solving the issue of conventional metallic and friction dampers, this paper
proposes a novel friction-strip coupled damper (FSCD) by setting friction and strip modules …

The parameters of most conventional passive dampers are constant, which may not
sufficiently satisfy the different energy dissipation capacity demands of the structure under …

A novel buckling restrained brace (BRB), called the asynchronized parallel two-stage
yielding buckling restrained brace (APTYBRB), is proposed to achieve dual-objective control …

In this study, a novel parallel double-stage yielding buckling restrained brace (PDYBRB) is
developed. It comprises parallel core system, load-transfer system, and restrainer system …
