In this paper modeling of rotating seal and friction damper is explained using NX7.5 and ANSYS130x64 software. Modeling of any component is very important in analysis of the component. Analysis of rotating seal and damper is carried out using ANSYS130x64 to calculate stiffness of friction damper. Various authors explained methods to calculate stiffness of friction damper. In this paper a method...

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...

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...

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...

A finite element method is developed to treat the steady-state vibration of two axisymmetric structures—a base substructure and an attached dampersubstructure—that are driven by traveling wave excitation and that couplethrough a spatially distributed hysteretic friction interface. The base substructure is representative of a rotating brake rotor or gear, and the damper is a ring affixed to the ...

additional dampers are employed in order to decrease the dynamic response of structure against the earthquake and wind loading recently. in this study, two types of systems related to waste of inactive energy, i.e. frictional damper which is categorized in dampers dependent on movement and viscoelastic damper which is categorized in dampers dependent on velocity, in making steel structures resi...

This paper is concerned with a new fully adaptive control scheme for vibration isolation using a semi-active MR damper installed between ground and first floor, which is composed of two adaptive controllers. One is an adaptive inverse controller which can give necessary input voltage to MR damper so as to generate specified reference damping force to be acted on a controlled structure. The inpu...
