Advanced computational design of shared tuned mass-inerter dampers for vibration control of adjacent multi-story structures
(2017)
Conference report
Open AccessInerters 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
(2016)
Conference report
Open AccessIn 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 ... -
