Application of visco-hyperelastic devices in structural response control
… This was followed by a nonlinear dynamic response history analysis of a single-story steel frame with and without the device to study the effects of the device in controlling structural response to ground excitations. Static analyses were also done to verify the stabilizing effects of the …
