Prototype Testing of a New Passive Energy Dissipation Device for Seismic Retrofit of Bridges
The increasingly demanding performance requirements trigger the development of new devices to eliminate the limitations concerning the post-earthquake performance of available seismic protection systems. The prerequisite for economical earthquakeresistant bridges is the structures’ capacity to absorb and dissipate a large amount of seismic energy. A widely considered strategy for enhancing this...
متن کاملMulti-objective Evolutionary Optimization of Passive Energy Dissipation Systems under Seismic Loading
With the conceptual development of performance-based design, the earthquake engineering community has begun to recognize the importance of controlling both interstory drifts and absolute floor accelerations. However, these often present conflicting requirements for design. In this paper, we present a multi-objective genetic algorithm to address this conflict by identifying a Pareto front of opt...
متن کاملQuantitative Impact Testing of Energy Dissipation at Surfaces
Impact testing with nanoscale spatial, force, and temporal resolution has been developed to address quantitatively the response of surfaces to impingement of local contact at elevated velocities. Here, an impact is generated by imparting energy to a pendulum carrying an indenter, which then swings towards a specimen surface. The pendulum displacement as a function of time x(t) is recorded, from...
متن کاملPassive Testing of Timed Distributed Systems
This paper presents a formal framework to perform passive testing of service-oriented systems. Our approach uses the historical interaction files between web services to check the absence of faults. It uses a set of properties, that we call invariants, to represent the most relevant expected behavior of the web services under test. Intuitively, an invariant expresses the fact that each time the...
متن کاملRobust Stabilization of Uncertain Systems Based on Energy Dissipation Concepts
Robust stability conditions obtained through generalization of the notion of energy dissipation in physical systems are discussed in this report. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems which dissipate energy corresponding to quadratic power functions are characterized in the time-domain and the frequency-domain, in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and algebraic Riccati equations (AREs). ...
