By means of installing sloped rolling-type seismic isolators (SRI), the horizontal acceleration transmitted to the to-be-protected object above can be effectively and significantly reduced under external disturbance. To prevent the maximum horizontal displacement response of SRI from reaching a threshold, designing large and conservative damping force for SRI might be required, which will also enlarge the transmitted acceleration response. In a word, when adopting seismic isolation, minimizing acceleration or displacement responses is always a trade-off. Therefore, this paper proposes that by exploiting the possible information provided by an earthquake early warning system, the damping force applied to SRI which can better control both acceleration and displacement responses might be determined in advance and accordingly adjusted in a semi-active control manner. By using a large number of ground motion records with peak ground acceleration not less than 80 gal, the numerical results present that the maximum horizontal displacement response of SRI is highly correlated with and proportional to some important parameters of input excitations, the velocity pulse energy rate and peak velocity in particular. A control law employing the basic form of hyperbolic tangent function and two objective functions are considered in this study for conceptually developing suitable control algorithms. Compared with the numerical results of simply designing a constant, large damping factor to prevent SRI from pounding, adopting the recommended control algorithms can have more than 60% reduction of acceleration responses in average under the excitations. More importantly, it is effective in reducing acceleration responses under approximately 98% of the excitations.

One of the objectives to prevent building pounding between two adjacentstructures is to considerseparation distance or decrease relative displacement during seismic excitation. Although the majority of building codes around the world have basically suggested some equations or approximately recommended various distances between structuresto avoid pounding hazard, but a lot of reportsin zone of pounding have obviously shown thatsafety situation or economic consideration are not always provided due to the collisions between buildings and the cost of land, respectively. For this purpose, a dynamic MDOF model by having base isolation system is numerically considered and using various earthquake records, relative displacements are mathematically investigated. Different equations to determine the value of damping ratio are collected and the results of evaluations are listed for comparison among them to present a new equation for determination of impact damping ratio. Presented equation is depends significantly on impact velocity before and after impact based on artificial neural network, which the accuracy of them is investigated and also confirmed. In order to select the optimum equation, hysteresisloop of impact between base of building and rubber bumper is considered and compared with the hysteresis loop of each impact, calculated by different equations. Finally, using representative equation, the effect of thickness, number and stiffness of rubber bumpers are numerically investigated. The results of analysis indicate that stiffness and number of bumpers have significantly affected in zone of impact force while the thickness of bumpers have not shown significant influence to calculate impact force during earthquake. For instance, increasing the number of bumpers, gap size between structures and also the value of stiffness is caused to decrease impact force between models. The final evaluation demonstrates that bumpers are able to decrease peak lateral displacement of top story during impact.

Impact damper is a passive damping system that controls undesirable vibration with mass block impacting with stops fixed to the excited structure, introducing momentum exchange and energy dissipation. However, harmful momentum exchange may occur in the random excitation increasing structural response. Based on the mechanism of impact damping system, a semi-active impact damper (SAID) with controllable impact timing as well as a semi-active control strategy is proposed to enhance the seismic performance of engineering structures in this paper. Comparative experimental studies were conducted to investigate the damping performances of the passive impact damper and SAID. The extreme working conditions for SAID were also discussed and approaches to enhance the damping effect under high-intensity excitations were proposed. A numerical simulation model of SAID attached to a frame structure was established to further explore the damping mechanism. The experimental and numerical results show that the SAID has better control effect than the traditional passive impact damper and can effectively broaden the damping frequency band. The parametric studies illustrate the mass ratio and impact damping ratio of SAID can significantly influence the vibration control effect by affecting the impact force.

Damping capacities of Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn (in atomic) solid solutions were comparatively investigated in order to clarify the influence of solutionized Al and Zn elements on the damping characteristics of Mg. In this study, solid solutions with similar grain size were obtained by solution treatment at 678 K for different times (24 h for Mg-2.5%Al and 36 h for Mg-2.5%Zn), followed by water quenching at RT. The Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn solid solutions showed similar damping capacities in the strain-amplitude independent region of 1 × 10^-6 ~ 1 × 10^-5 and in the strain-amplitude dependent region below 6 × 10^-4, over which the Mg-2.5%Zn solid solution possessed better damping capacity than the Mg-2.5%Al solid solution. The damping tendencies depending on strain-amplitude for the two solid solutions were analyzed and discussed in terms of similar length between weak pinning points (solutes) and different solute/dislocation interaction forces in Granato-Lücke model.

This paper deals with the cantilever subjected to a follower force which is generated by real rocket motor which has linearly decreasing thrust. The cantilever is assumed to be uniform and elastic one, In the theoretical analysis, the tip mass of rocket motor is considered as a rigid body and effects of its dynamic parameters are shown and compared with the experimental results. Particularly, the variation of the 2nd natural frequency due to the decreasing thrust is measured in the experiments and compared with the theoretical estimations. Approximate method is adopted in the theoretical analysis using Galerkin method by introducing 3-element modified operator and modified variable which represent eqation of motion and natural boundary conditions. In general, structural damping effects can be neglected and all the rigid body parameters must be taken into account in case of the short action time of the follower force and the relatively big tip mass like the system of this paper according to the experiment. Good agreement was obtained between the theoretical estimations and the experimental results by neglecting structural damping and considering all the rigid bidy parameters of the tip mass.
