Abstract: Design of external dampers for stay cables requires repetitive evaluation of damping ratios for target modes of cables under various damper parameters and installation positions, and explicit formulas with high accuracy ...

Abstract: Long-span steel pedestrian bridges usually have the characteristics of high flexibility and low damping due to the usage of high-strength and light-weight materials. Therefore, they are extremely sensitive and prone to ...

Abstract: Metallic dampers with plastic energy dissipation are often used in the seismic protection of civil structures. However, conventional metallic dampers cannot provide adequate energy dissipation capacity due to the small ...

Abstract: Pendulum tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) are one of the most commonly used devices for high-rise structures to control large-amplitude vibrations due to dynamic excitations. In practice, the damper of PTMD usually connects the ...

Abstract: Due to their construction features, many structures have confined spaces, such as the hollow tube of a wind turbine tower and the tube members of large-span space structures. To meet the requirement of aesthetics, the ...
