EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON A VARIABLE DAMPER BY USING MAGNETRHEOLOGICAL FLUID

a study on insurer solvency by panel data model: the case of iranian insurance market

the aim of this thesis is an approach for assessing insurer’s solvency for iranian insurance companies. we use of economic data with both time series and cross-sectional variation, thus by using the panel data model will survey the insurer solvency.

Experimental Study on Using Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper for Structural Control of Buildings Resting on Loose Soil

In this study, through series of shaking table tests and statistical analysis, the efficiency of Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper (UTLCD) in structures resting on loose soils, considering soil-structure interaction was investigated. The soil beneath the structure is loose sandy soil. The Laminar Shear Box (LSB) as a soil container was adopted and the scaled form of the prototype structure nam...

Experimental investigation on a colloidal damper rendered controllable under the variable magnetic field generated by moving permanent magnets

Experimental Study on Seismic Response Mitigation of Complex Structure using Passive Friction Damper

The application of control devices in coupled building system has been recently recognized as an effective alternative for seismic protection. In consideration of passive control approach, most of previous studies focused on application of fluid dampers, and the buildings in the coupled systems were in similar structural configuration. By recognizing the potential merits, such as simple in desi...

Experimental study of two-fluid effects on magnetic reconnection in a laboratory plasma with variable collisionality

This article describes the recent findings on two-fluid effects on magnetic reconnection in plasmas with variable collisionality in the magnetic reconnection experiment MRX M. Yamada et al., Phys. Plasmas 4, 1936 1997 . The MRX device has been upgraded to accommodate a variety of reconnection operation modes and high energy density experiments by increasing its capacitor bank energy and extendi...
