This study performs an experimental investigation of a novel, semi‐active control strategy for
effective vibration mitigation. The implemented approach comprises a combination of the …

It has become increasingly necessary to develop systems to decrease the impact of
earthquakes by protecting people and mitigating resulting structural and economic damage …

This research demonstrates the efficacy of 2–4 viscous dampers in self-centering rocking
structures with bi‑linear elastic response, which is distinctly different to conventional fixed …

Near‐field earthquakes, characterized by long‐period velocity pulses with large peak
ground velocities and accelerations, have led to severe damage to many civil structures …

Supplemental energy-dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting
loads transferred to structures and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial …

Semiactive devices offer the opportunity to customize the device response, and thus to
customize the overall structural hysteretic response. However, they are actively controlled …

The design and experimental validation of a passive, hybrid self-centring supplemental
damper for low-damage structures is presented. The device combines rate-dependent …

Offshore structures, mainly used for oil production, are increasingly being adapted for
renewable energy applications. Seismic performance assessment of these structures is …

An efficient and power dense high pressure air compressor/expander (C/E) is critical for the
success of a compressed air energy storage (CAES) system. There is a tradeoff between …

The objective of the present study is to investigate a new energy dissipation system that
combines the positive stiffness of the resetting passive stiffness damper (RPSD) with the …
