Abstract: Tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) are a class of tuned liquid dampers that impart indirect damping to the primary structure through oscillations of the liquid column in a U-shaped container. The energy dissipation in the ...

Abstract: The development of a multiple-actuator dynamic load simulator (DLS), for the simulation of correlated dynamic loads on small-scale structural components and substructures, or on bench-scale system assemblage is presented ...

Abstract: A tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) is a special type of auxiliary damping device which relies on the inertia of a liquid column in a U-tube to counteract the forces acting on the structure. Damping in the TLCD is introduced ...

Abstract: This technical note describes prototype development of a next generation of structural testing facility referred to here as a dynamic load simulator (DLS). The DLS simulates dynamic loading environment such as wind, waves, ...
