Journal ArticleDOI
Using an inerter-based device for structural vibration suppression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of a novel type of passive vibration control system to reduce vibrations in civil engineering structures subject to base excitation, based on the inerter, a device that was initially developed for high-performance suspensions in Formula 1 racing cars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigation of motions of tall buildings with specific examples of recent applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of state-of-the-art measures that reduce the structural response of buildings, including a summary of recent work in aerodynamic tailoring and a discussion of auxiliary damping devices for mitigating the wind-induced motion of structures.
