      Conference report
      Open Access
      Inerters are a novel type of mechanical actuation devices that are able to produce large inertial forces with a relatively small mass. Due to this property, inerters can provide an effective solution to the main drawbacks ...
    • Advanced design of integrated vibration control systems for adjacent buildings under seismic excitations 

      Palacios Quiñonero, Francisco; Rubió Massegú, Josep; Rossell Garriga, Josep Maria; Karimi, Hamid Reza (2016)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In vibration control of adjacent buildings under seismic excitations, a twofold objective has to be considered: (i) to mitigate the vibrational response of the individual structures and (ii) to provide a suitable protection ...
    • Advanced vibration control of large structures with distributed multi-actuator system and partial state information 

      Palacios Quiñonero, Francisco; Rubió Massegú, Josep; Rossell Garriga, Josep Maria; Rodellar Benedé, José (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2017)
      Conference report
      Open Access
      In this paper, the design and performance of partial-state controllers with incomplete multi-actuation systems for the seismic protection of tall buildings is investigated. The proposed approach considers a partially ...
