Equivalent Damping Ratios of Structures with Supplemental Viscous Dampers
The current design formulas such as those provided by FEMA273/274 for building structures with supplemental viscous dampers were derived based on the shear building assumption. However, for medium-rise to high-rise buildings that deform in a combined form of shear and bending when subjected to seismic loading, the design using existing formulas may result into an actual damping ratio much lower...
متن کاملActive viscous damping system for control of MDOF structures
The development and applications of a supplemental viscous damping device with active capacity are described. The system of the dampers de ned as active viscous damping system (AVDS) is presented herein. Structural control principles de ned here as active control theory (ACT) are used to obtain the control forces at each time step during an excitation. Control of the damping forces is possible ...
متن کاملSemi-active Base isolation System for Buildings using MR Dampers
Due to limitations on the use of passive base isolation systems which show poor performance in near field seismic excitations or active systems which require high external power, as stand alone control devices for a range of seismic excitations, a hybrid control system that mitigates the limitations of either passive or active control systems is preferred. The present study examines the use of ...
متن کاملStructural Control Based on Semi-active Variable Friction Dampers
This paper discusses a methodology of semi-active structural control using a variable friction damper. The presented algorithm is quite simple and straightforward, in which only the slip level of the friction damper is controlled in response to the interstory response velocity of the damperinstalled story so as to maintain the target constant ductility factor. In conducting control there is adv...
متن کاملHierarchical semi-active control of base-isolated structures using a new inverse model of magnetorheological dampers
Magnetorheological (MR) dampers have received special attention as semi-active devices for mitigation of structural vibrations. Because of the inherent nonlinearity of these devices, it is difficult to obtain a reasonable mathematical inverse model. This paper is concerned with two related concepts. On one hand, it presents a new inverse model of MR dampers based on the normalized Bouc–Wen mode...
