Abstract: Clutching inerter damper (CID) is an innovative damping device with inherent nonlinearity. In this paper, the description of the CID system is firstly made followed by the analyses of free vibration and harmonic response. ...

Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic performance of two kinds of time-domain piecewise linear stiffness systems, a piecewise positive-stiffness system (PPS) and a piecewise negative-stiffness system (PNS). The PPS is formulated ...

Abstract: Story isolation systems (SIS) have great application potential in the seismic design of some special structures. This paper studied the seismic control performance of SIS using a tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) considering ...
