Robust control of a class of uncertain systems that have disturbances and uncertainties not satisfying "matching" condition is investigated in this paper via a disturbance observer based control (DOBC) approach. In the context of this paper, "matched" disturbances/uncertainties stand for the disturb...

Abstract Large MR (MR) dampers are popular due to their higher damping force capabilities which makes them suitable in the field of civil engineering, structural engineering, suspension bridge structure, mining engineering, and agricultural engineering applications. This paper presents a comprehensi...

It has been widely acknowledged that a tuned mass damper (TMD) can effectively control the wind-induced vibration of the main deck of long-span bridges. However, the unfavorable effect on static characteristics of the increased dead load cannot be avoided if the TMD is installed straight on the main...

To improve the ride comfort of the off‐road vibratory roller, the cab’s hydraulic mounts were analyzed to prevent vibration sources transmitting to the cab. However, the cab’s low‐frequency shaking in the vertical direction and the direction of forward motion is still great. This study proposes an o...

This paper exhibits the development of a vibration isolation system using an active dynamic vibration absorber (ADVA) as an accelerometer in a low-frequency range; whereas, it operates as a vibration control device in a high-frequency range. The control signal of the ADVA gives an information of the...

Although Dhaka city has experienced any moderate to large earthquakes in the past, some recent ground shakings are certainly indications of its earthquake source and vulnerability. In addition, microseismicity data also supports the existence of at least four earthquake source points in and around D...

This paper reviewed the research on the nonlinear free vibration of pre‐stressed orthotropic membrane, which is commonly applied in building membrane structures. We applied the L‐P perturbation method to solve the governing equations of large amplitude nonlinear free vibration of rectangular orthotr...

Summary Nowadays, one of the most important methodologies to reduce the destructive effects of severe earthquakes on structures is the use of energy dissipation devices (EDDs). In this paper, a new configuration of special truss moment frame (STMF) systems including EDDs is theoretically proposed to...

Ride comfort of the passengers in a vehicle largely depends on the vibration isolation performance of its suspension system. This paper aims at vibration isolation analysis of both heavy-duty and light-duty vehicle suspension systems to corroborate ride comfort perception. A half car model with pass...
