Abstract: In this study, a novel passive vibration control device, the three-element vibration absorber–inerter (TEVAI) is proposed. Inerter-based vibration absorbers, which utilize a mass that rotates due to relative translational ...

Abstract: AbstractStrongback braced frames (SBFs) are a relatively new structural system with potential benefits to seismic performance, resilience, and design flexibility. Design of SBFs involves selection of energy-dissipating ...
