This paper summarizes the relevant results of the design, construction, testing, and implementation of a nominal 120 kN magnetorheological damper developed to control a free-plan tall building in Santiago, Chile, equipped ...

In this research the comprehensive development of a long-stroke MR-damper designed to control the earthquake performance of an existing 21-story reinforced concrete building in Santiago (Chile) by reacting on one of its ...

This research investigates the seismic and harmonic response of a true free-plan tall building equipped with two tuned pendular inertial masses (TMs) and magnetorheological (MR) dampers. Construction of this proof-of-concept ...

This research investigates the development of a semi-active piezoelectric friction damper for controlling the seismic response of large-scale structures. The proposed device is made of Duplex steel and leads to high friction ...

A new vibration control device called a rotational inertia double-tuned mass damper (RIDTMD) is proposed in this paper. The device consists of a tuned mass damper (TMD) in which the typical viscous damper is replaced with ...

This investigation deals with the design, manufacturing, and testing of a large-capacity MR damper prototype. The MR damper uses external coils that magnetize the MR-fluid as it moves out of the main cylinder through an ...

This work focuses on applying fuzzy control embedded in microcontrollers in an experimental apparatus using magnetorheological fluid damper. The non-linear behavior of the magnetorheological dampers associated with the ...
