Abstract: Because shock absorbers are an important component of high-rise buildings, it is essential to be able to detect damage to them. Viscoelastic (VE) dampers, as a common shock absorber, directly affect the safety and reliability ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic (VE) damper is usually vulcanized by mixing polymer matrix, additives, and fillers, all of which have a great influence on the viscoelastic response of the material. In this study, a series of novel samples ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic (VE) dampers are one of the most popular structural control devices, and serious efforts have been undertaken to develop their availability in civil engineering. However, the performance of VE dampers is ...

Abstract: Acrylate rubber molecules contain sterically hindered and highly polar ester groups, which can generate a large amount of internal friction energy under external alternating stress and exhibit high internal friction for ...

Abstract: Viscoelastic (VE) dampers are one of the most promising techniques for reducing vibration in engineering structures caused by earthquakes and wind. This work aims to develop a kind of high-dissipation VE damper for civil ...

Abstract: This work designs a new compression-mode viscoelastic (VE) damper to avoid bonding interface failure in classical shear-mode VE dampers. However, most existing mathematical models based on the shear deformation at the ...
