Passive and semi-active vibration control systems
Abstracts
Passive and semi-active vibration control systems mitigate dynamic responses in structures like buildings and bridges by dissipating energy without requiring external power sources. Passive systems, such as tuned mass dampers (TMDs), viscous dampers, and base isolators, rely on inherent material properties like friction, viscosity, or mass tuning to counteract wind or seismic excitations through proven, low-maintenance mechanisms. Semi-active systems enhance this adaptability by using sensors and minimal electronics to adjust damping or stiffness in real-time …… [For more click here- Issue 1]
