Abstract:
A modified friction damper is presented to enhance the performance of conventional friction damper and semi-active variable friction damper. An additional plate is provided between the two sliding plates of a conventional friction damper which results in an additional sliding interface with the same normal (clamping) force. Similar modification is also made to semi-active variable friction damper (SAVFD) to enhance its performance. The enhancement in the performance of the benchmark building is studied under across wind loads ....etc

ABSTRACT
This dissertation proposes simple and efficient control algorithms for seismically excited structures using MR dampers and a smart passive system based on MR dampers. Magnetorheological (MR) dampers are one of the most promising control devices for civil engineering applications to earthquake hazard mitigation, because they have many advantages such as small power requirement, reliability, and low price to manufacture. A number of control algorithms have been adopted for semi active systems including the M ....etc

A magnetorheological damper or magnetorheological shock absorber is a damper filled with magnetorheological fluid, which is controlled by a magnetic field, usually using an electromagnet This allows the damping characteristics of the shock absorber to be continuously controlled by varying the power of the electromagnet. This type of shock absorber has several applications, most notably in semi-active vehicle suspensions which may adapt to road conditions, as they are monitored through sensors in the vehicle, and in prosthetic limbs. ....etc

Shock absorbers and their performance during the earthquake. In addition, they have investigated the world's tall buildings and have studied a satisfactory level of damper performance. And the results show that not only shock absorbers have acceptable seismic behavior against lateral forces such as wind and earthquakes. However, it has reduced the limitations of building multi-storey buildings. A tuned dampener, also known as a harmonic damper, is a device mounted on structures to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations. Its application c ....etc

Innovative Designs for Magneto-Rheological Dampers



Introduction
The main purpose of this chapter is to introduce the topic of magneto-rheological
(MR) dampers to the reader. Also presented is an explanation of the mechanism
through which MR fluid works. Lastly, the project objectives and the approach
taken to evaluate different MR damper designs are discussed.
