Response modification factors (R-factor) are used in current seismic building codes to reduce earthquake forces associated with seismic design level to determine force levels. In recent years, many authors have shown great interest in the development of seismic structural systems and several theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted to investigate performance of dampers but littl...

in this paper, seismic behavior of the existing buildings equipped by friction dampers is studied. seismic performance of6-story, 9-story and 12-story steel buildings with damper and without damper were studied. the finite element modeling technique (sap2000 software) is used for analysis. time history analyzing was done to achieve this purpose. for nonlinear dynamic analysis, the responses of ...

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...

A generic method for analysis of nonlinear forced response for bladed disks with friction dampers of different designs has been developed. The method uses explicit finite element modeling of dampers, which allows accurate description of flexibility and, for the first time, dynamic properties of dampers of different designs in multiharmonic analysis of bladed disks. Large-scale finite element da...
