Abstract: High-rise structures with large aspect ratios are subjected to unexpected motions under wind excitation. Structural vibrations induced by vortices in the wake were captured by aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation ...

Abstract: The connected control method (CCM) has been shown previously to be a viable means to protect adjacent flexible structures. The CCM works by using an auxiliary structure to provide a reaction force for control. The CCM can ...

Abstract: Stay cables, such as are used in cable-stayed bridges, are prone to vibration due to their low inherent damping characteristics. Transversely attached passive viscous dampers have been implemented in many bridges to dampen ...

Abstract: Coupled building control has been shown to be an effective means of protection for flexible building structures. Numerous researchers have proposed various active, passive, and semiactive coupled building control strategies ...

Abstract: Damage detection for civil structures is limited by several factors including poor signal-to-noise ratios, a large number of unknown parameters, and a limited set of measured responses. Global vibration techniques that ...

Abstract: An innovative experimental method, called aeroelastic real-time hybrid simulation (aeroRTHS), is proposed to study the aerodynamic vibrations of a building model in a boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT). The aeroRTHS method ...
