Finite element method for designing HF2V device force capacity
Vishnupriya, Vishnupriya; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Zhou, Cong (2020-04-22)Supplemental energy dissipation devices are increasingly used to protect structures, limiting loads transferred to structural elements and absorbing significant response energy without sacrificial structural damage. High ... -
Modelling of vertical control in magnetic levitation for building isolation during earthquakes
Crozier, Elsa; Zhou, Cong; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey (2020-04-22)Earthquakes cause significant damage to buildings due to strong vibration of the ground. Levitating houses using magnets and electromagnets would provide a complete isolation of ground motion for protecting buildings from ... -
Robustness and accuracy of model-free structural health monitoring
Rabiepour, Mohammad; Zhou, Cong; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Xu, Chao (2020-04-22)Rapid, accurate structural health monitoring (SHM) assesses damage to optimise decision-making. Many SHM methods are designed to track nonlinear stiffness changes as damage. However, highly nonlinear pinched hysteretic ... -
Towards a better understanding of the development of the strength in Asymmetrical Friction Connections (AFCs)
Chanchi Golondrino, Jose Christian; MacRae, Gregory Anthony; Chase, James Geoffrey; Rodgers, Geoffrey; Clifton, G. Charles (2020-04-22)In the current design practice, the strength of Asymmetric Friction Connections (AFCs) is calculated considering the friction force developed at both sliding interfaces using the bolt tension reduced by the moment – shear ...
