Description

Semi-active dampers and actuators hold significant promise for their ability to add supplemental damping and reduce structural response, particularly under earthquake loading. However, to date, very little large-scale design, development or testing has been done with these devices, limiting the knowledge of what practical obstacles may stand between theory and successful implementation. In this research, a one fifth scale semi-active, resettable device is designed and tested to determine the ...
