Passive , Nonlinear , Mechanical Structures for Seismic Attenuation
Gravitational wave detectors aim to detect strain perturbations of space-time on the order of 10−21–10−22 at frequencies between 1 Hz and a few kHz. This space-time strain, integrated over kilometer scale interferometers, will induce movements of suspended mirrors on the order of 10−18–10−19 m. Seismic motion in this frequency band varies between 10−6 m and 10−12 m. Required seismic attenuation...
متن کاملSeismic Control of Asymmetric Structures
This paper presents results of an investigation on how supplemental viscous damping can be used to control excessive deformations in asymmetric-plan buildings. It is shown that symmetric distribution of supplemental damping devices in the building plan is not necessarily the best way to control excessive deformations in an asymmetric-plan building; a value of the damping eccentricity equal to t...
متن کاملSEMI-ACTIVE NEURO-CONTROL FOR MINIMIZING SEISMIC RESPONSE OF BENCHMARK STRUCTURES
This article presents numerical studies on semi-active seismic response control of structures equipped with Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers. A multi-layer artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to mitigate the influence of time delay, This ANN was trained using data from the El-Centro earthquake. The inputs of ANN are the seismic responses of the structure in the current step, and the ou...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF STRUCTURES UNDER TRANSIENT LOADS
In this article, an efficient methodology is presented to optimize the topology of structural systems under transient loads. Equivalent static loads concept is used to deal with transient loads and to solve an alternate quasi-static optimization problem. The maximum strain energy of the structure under the transient load during the loading interval is used as objective function. The objective f...
