Structural control: past, present, and future
George W. Housner,Lawrence A. Bergman,Thomas K. Caughey,Anastasios Chassiakos,R. O. Claus,Sami F. Masri,Robert E. Skelton,T. T. Soong,Billie F. Spencer,J. T. P. Yao +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a concise point of departure for researchers and practitioners alike wishing to assess the current state of the art in the control and monitoring of civil engineering structures, and provide a link between structural control and other fields of control theory.

Recent advances in nonlinear passive vibration isolators
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive assessment of recent developments of nonlinear isolators in the absence of active control means is presented, which highlights resolved and unresolved problems and recommendations for future research directions.

Teflon Bearings in Base Isolation II: Modeling
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of the factional behavior of Teflon sliding bearings for conditions of interest in base isolation is developed and the calibration of the model is based on extensive experimental data that were presented in an accompanying paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a compact reliable and modular Cyclotron has been designed, which operates indefinitely in a closed cycle, namely the discharge of a fuel load, with the exception of fission fragments, is re-injected in the sub-critical unit with the addition of natural Thorium to compensate for the burnt fuel.

Random vibration of hysteretic degrading systems
Thomas T. Baber,Yi-Kwei Wen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a differential equation model for hysteretic systems with strength, stiffness or combined degradation is presented, without recourse to the Krylov-Bogoliubov approximation.

Mechanisms of energy absorption in special devices for use in earthquake resistant structures
TL;DR: In this article, a study of three essentially different mechanisms of energy absorption was carried out to determine whether such devices are feasible and the results showed that at plastic strains in the range 3% to 12% it was possible to develop energy dissipation of the order of 2000-7500 lb in/in3 per cycle (14-50 x 106 N/M2 per cycle).

Hysteretic dampers for earthquake-resistant structures
TL;DR: The use of hysteretic dampers for earthquake resistance is discussed in this paper, where several types of high-capacity, low-cost hystetric damper, suitable for use in structures, are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seismic Effectiveness of Tuned Mass Dampers
TL;DR: In this article, a probabilistic model is developed that gives the distribution of peak response of buildings modified by adding a tuned mass damper in terms of the same distribution for the unmodified structures.

Seismic response of structures free to rock on their foundations
TL;DR: In this paper, the possibility of foundation rocking of shear wall structures designed to NZS 4203 is discussed and a simple design method for assessing maximum rocking displacements, using equivalent elastic characteristics and a response-spectra approach is proposed, and compared with results from simulated seismic excitation of the model using an electro-hydraulic shake-table.
