Vibration suppression remains one of the most important problems found in the field of rotating machinery. Several techniques are used including careful balancing and passive damping and all have both advantages and drawbacks. However, there are specific conditions where these do not offer satisfactory results. An alternative is to use one or more...

To improve the recoverability of structures following an earthquake, a Reid friction damper with self-centering characteristics is proposed and its hysteretic behavior is studied by theoretical analysis and experimental research. The main parameters of the damper are the equivalent stiffness and energy dissipation coefficient. Based on a 10-story s...

This paper proposes using a tuned inerter damper (TID) system to mitigate the potential pounding and unseating damages between the adjacent bridge structures under severe earthquakes. The control effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated both in the frequency and time domains. For comparison, the models and responses of the adjacent brid...

The paper deals with introduction of damping to specific vibration modes of wind turbine blades, using a resonant controller with acceleration feedback. The wind turbine blade is represented by three-dimensional, two-node finite elements in a local, rotating frame of reference. The element formulation accounts for arbitrary mass density distributio...

This paper is concerned with passive vibration control of pendulum-type structures. Specifically, low-frequency vibrations are addressed, such as those occurring in rope-way passenger cabin oscillations. Since low frequency vibration control devices are advantageously realized by liquid absorbers, a Tuned Liquid Damper is considered here. Equations...
