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: As an innovative steel box girder, the normal stress patterns in the top and bottom plates of a cantilever steel box girder are complex. However, the influence of external and internal struts on the shear lag effect is ...

Abstract: Understanding the nonlinearity of pendulum tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) under large-amplitude vibration is important to enhance control performance. Here, the nonlinear effects of PTMDs on vibration control of a single-deg ...
