Performance of viscoelastic dampers (VED) under various temperatures and application of magnetorheological dampers (MRD) for seismic control of structures

Development of mechanomutable asphalt binders for the construction of smart pavements

“…The carrier usually takes the form of different kinds of oils (silicone oils), but the non-magnetic characteristic of the carrier determines to a large extent the nature of the MR material, the most representative examples being fluids, though MR gels, MR foams, and MR elastomers can also be used [28]. Since their discovery in the 1940's [29,30], the application of MR materials has forged its way into several branches of technological development, including industrial areas such as aerospace [31], biomedical prostheses [32], drug vehicle design [33], and mechanical engineering with shock absorbers and seismic insulators [34][35][36]. In the particular field of architecture [37], the creation of light and resistant materials that provide damping is a continuous need.…”

Linear Dynamic Analysis of Different Structural Systems for Medium Rise Buildings (A Case Study)

“…The allowable maximum lateral drift/displacement value is calculated using H/500 expression, where "H" is the height of building from ground surface. The building has no torsional irregularity [7,8].…”

Magnetic Nanoparticles as a Redispersing Additive in Magnetorheological Fluid

“…The characterization of this programmed response materials, the volume content of particles, size, and shape [7][8][9] determines its technological applications, among biomedical prosthesis, dampers and seismic insulators, aerospace industry, and drug vehicles design to mention just a few [8,[10][11][12][13][14][15].…”
