Abstract: Semiactive control has received extensive attention because it can attain a similar control gain as active control while requiring a smaller external power supply. The critical step of semiactive control refers to the ...

Abstract: A novel dynamic physical model for a magnetorheological (MR) damper is proposed. In this model, the hysteretic properties are considered to result from the difference between the working mechanism of MR fluids in their ...

Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are regarded as among the most promising control devices owing to their perfect dynamic damping behaviors. The operating efficiency of MR dampers, however, upon randomly excited structural ...

Abstract: The sliding hydromagnetic bearing is a low-friction isolator proposed in recent years. Its novelty lies in adaptive energy dissipation and alterable deflection constraint, which has been demonstrated by previous studies ...

Abstract: Sliding isolation, as one of the modalities of base isolation, has demonstrated its value in seismic hazard mitigation. Conventional sliding isolation systems, however, may exhibit unacceptable large sliding displacements ...
