Abstract: A simple yet accurate approach to evaluate the seismic performance of a torsionally coupled multistory building isolated by nonlinear isolators and subjected to strong ground motions is presented in this paper. In this ...

Abstract: This paper explores the potential of optimum torsionally coupled base isolators for the vibration control of torsionally coupled structures. Newton’s second law is used to derive the governing equations of motion, and the ...

Abstract: The conventional friction bearings have limitations in controlling the structures’ vibration. To overcome their limitations and upgrade their seismic performances, the inertial amplifiers and inerters are applied to the ...
