Temperature Effect of Viscoelastic Dampers during Earthquakes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Viscoelastic dampers have been adopted for improving the seismic resistance of structures. One of the major difficulties is the modeling of the temperature effect of dampers on the structural responses during earthquakes. ...
Discussion: Consistent Infinitesimal Finite-Element–Cell Method: Out-of-Plane Motion
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Swing Phase Simulation and Design of Above Knee Prostheses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A detailed dynamic model of the stump-prosthesis system for an above knee amputee was developed. The model was used to examine the influence of controls and design parameters on the limb ...
Applications of Viscoelastic Dampers to High‐Rise Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, the features of energy‐absorbing capacities of the viscoelastic damper and its effect on the structure during earthquakes are investigated. To clarify the behavior of the structure with added viscoelastic ...
Closure to “<i>Applications of Viscoelastic Dampers to High‐Rise Buildings</i>” by C. S. Tsai and H. H. Lee (April, 1993, Vol. 119, No. 4)

TPEA Device as Seismic Damper for High-Rise Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The tapered-plate energy absorber (TPEA) has been accepted as an effective energy dissipator to absorb earthquake-induced energy and improve seismic resistance of a structure. Previous analytical studies associated with ...
Time‐Domain Analyses of Dam‐Reservoir System. II: Substructure Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Nonlinear analyses of (flexible) dam‐ (infinite) reservoir interactions require time‐domain formulations. In this paper, an exact consideration of radiation condition in the far field of the infinite reservoir and a ...
Time‐Domain Analyses of Dam‐Reservoir System. I: Exact Solution
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An exact solution for the transient responses of (flexible) structure‐(infinite) reservoir systems is presented. Exact consideration of the radiation condition of the infinite reservoir and the deformation of the structure ...
Characteristics and Modeling of Multiple Direction Optimized-Friction Pendulum System With Numerous Sliding Interfaces Subjected to Multidirectional Excitations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a base isolator called a multiple direction optimized-friction pendulum system (Multiple DO-FPS) with numerous sliding interfaces is proposed. To understand the mechanical behavior ...
Far‐Field Modeling in 3D Dam‐Reservoir Interaction Analysis
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An explicit time‐domain transmitting boundary is presented for far‐field modeling in the three‐dimensional (3D) analysis of dam‐reservoir interactions. This transmitting boundary is a semianalytical solution of the governing ...
