The present paper investigates the effectiveness of a bio-inspired semi-active controller to reduce seismic-induced vibrations in building structures. The control system [...]

Numerical modeling of MR dampers based on parametric models constitutes one of the main methodologies to simulate the behavior of this type of devices. However, its highl [...]

Typical vehicle suspension systems are based on passive energy dissipation devices. This type of systems have proven to be a reliable and economic approach, however they [...]

This paper aims to evaluate the performance of a semi-active controlled suspension system using a magneto-rheological (MR) damper to provide better ride comfort and safet [...]

This paper provides a brief description of MR fluid technology and MR fluid based devices. Analytical and experimental investigations about MR dampers covering their rheo [...]

This paper intends to estimate the numerical cyclic response of RC frames with and without masonry infill through a simplified nonlinear analysis using a commercial FEM p [...]
