RISNegative Stiffness Brace Device for Structural Systems: Analytical and Experimental Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, a negative stiffness brace (NSB) device composed of a series of precompressed
springs, gap-spring assemblies, and links to achieve the desired negative stiffness
behavior suitable for application in ...
Effectiveness of Negative Stiffness System in the Benchmark Structural-Control Problem for Seismically Excited Highway Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The effectiveness of a novel negative stiffness device (NSD) and damper system for reduction of the seismic response of highway bridges was investigated in this study. To this end, a Phase II benchmark highway bridge was ...
Hierarchical Simulations and Seismic Performance Evaluation of Tall Buildings Equipped with Negative Stiffness Damped Outrigger with Damping Amplification
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractTo address the damping limitations of conventional damped outrigger (CDO) systems
in tall buildings and reduce the damping force demand of viscous damper installed
at the outrigger end, a novel negative stiffness ...
