Condition Assessment of In-Service Pendulum Tuned Mass Dampers
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-28)Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are auxiliary damping devices installed within tall structures to reduce undesirable wind-induced vibrations and to enhance the overall system damping and hence, the dissipative capacity. The ... -
Direct Method of Generating Floor Response Spectra for Structures under Earthquake Excitations at Multiple Supports
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-15)Floor Response Spectra (FRS) are commonly used as seismic input in the safety assessment for secondary systems in the nuclear power industry. Efficient and accurate determination of FRS is crucial in the design of nuclear ... -
Dynamic effects of harnessing cables on distributed parameter systems for space applications: Analytical modeling and experimental validation
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-02)Power and data signal cables constitute a major component of lightweight spacecraft and satellite structures. These cables can account for up to as high as 30% of the structural mass and hence significantly impact the ...
