The recent introduction of active and passive structural controlmethods has given structural designers powerful tools forperformance-based design. However, structural engineers often lackthe tools for the optimal selection and placement of such systems.In Building Control with Passive Dampers , Takewaki bringstogether most the reliable, state-of-the-art methods in practicearound the world, arming readers with a real sense of how toaddress optimal selection and placement of passive control systems.
* The first book on optimal design, sizing, and locationselection of passive dampers
* Combines theory and practical applications
* Describes step-by-step how to obtain optimal damper size andplacement
* Covers the state-of-the-art in optimal design of passivecontrol
* Integrates the most reliable techniques in the top literatureand used in practice worldwide
* Written by a recognized expert in the area
* MATLAB code examples available from the book's CompanionWebsite
This book is essential for post-graduate students, researchers,and design consultants involved in building control. Professionalengineers and advanced undergraduates interested in seismic design,as well as mechanical engineers looking for vibration dampingtechniques, will also find this book a helpful reference.
