Linear and Nonlinear Dynamic Absorbers
Sheykh Samani, Farhad / Pellicano, Francesco
Flexible structures (such as long-span suspension bridges which undergo moving load, wind or earthquake excitations) exhibit complex dynamic behavior. Due to high cost of strengthening such structures, as well as the technological advances in recent years, much attention has been given to using innovative means of enhancing structural functionality and safety against dynamic excitations. Among the methods used to mitigate the excessive vibrati...
