Research in structural vibration control deals with catastrophic failures of civil structures during natural hazards. Therefore, the focus of the proposed book is on theory of dynamic response control of structures by using different kinds of passive vibration control devices. The strategies used for controlling displacement, velocity, and acceleration of structures such as buildings and bridges under the action of dynamic loads emanating from earthquake, wind, wave, and so forth are detailed.
[*] Explains fundamentals of structural dynamics, vibration control, and their practical applications to earthquake, wind, and wave response mitigation of structures
[*] Offers a comprehensive overview of each possible passive damper and isolation systems
[*] Covers practical aspects of manufacture, design, and use of the passive control devices to the benchmark problems, which are developed from existing buildings and bridges in different countries worldwide
[*] Explores advanced topics including pushover analysis, considerations of soil-structure interaction (SSI), performance-based design of base-isolated structures
[*] Includes MATLAB® codes for finding response of SDOF and MDOF systems, subjected to dynamic loading along with computational models of the passive control devices
This book is aimed at senior undergraduate, graduate students and researchers in civil, earthquake, mechanical engineering, engineering dynamics, vibration control, including professionals.
