Experimental Verification of Viscous Damping Modeling for Inelastic Time History Analyzes
Author: Lorenza Petrini, Claudio Maggi, M. J. Nigel Priestley & G. Michele Calvi | Size: 2 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Unspecified | Publisher: Taylor and Francis | Year: 2008 | pages: 22
Inelastic time history analyzes (ITHA) are recognized as the most suitable tool for describing the behavior of structures under seismic actions. It is clear that the reliability of ITHA results is strongly dependent on the modeling choices. One of the aspects still debated, in spite of a large amount of research, is the modeling of viscous damping forces. In the case of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) structure, the damping not represented by hysteretic response is commonly assumed proportional to the square root of the system stiffness: typically in the research papers it is not declared whether the initial or tangent-stiffness is considered. Recent research has shown that initial or tangent-stiffness proportional damping can give very different results in terms of energy dissipation, and peak response displacement. In this work, experimental and numerical tests performed to detect the most appropriate model are described and discussed.

structural identification and damage detection using generic algorithms
Author: Chan Ghee Koh and Michael John Perry | Size: 71.9 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Scanner | Publisher: CRC | Year: 2010 | pages: 152 | ISBN: ISSN 1747-77 5/ISBN hardbook 13-978-0-415-46102-3/ISBN 13 978-0-203-85943-8 (eBook)
Welcome to the Book Series Structures and Infrastructures.
Our knowledge to model, analyze, design, maintain, manage and predict the lifecycle performance of structures and infrastructures is continually growing. However, the complexity of these systems continues to increase and an integrated approach is necessary to understand the effect of technological, environmental, economical, social and political interactions on the life-cycle performance of engineering structures and infrastructures. In order to accomplish this, methods have to be developed to systematically analyze structure and infrastructure systems, and models have to be formulated for evaluating and comparing the risks and benefits associated with various alternatives. We must maximize the life-cycle benefits of these systems to serve the needs of our society by selecting the best balance of the safety, economy and sustainability requirements despite imperfect information and knowledge. In recognition of the need for such methods and models, the aim of this Book Series is to present research, developments, and applications written by experts on the most advanced technologies for analyzing, predicting and optimizing the performance of structures and infrastructures such as buildings, bridges, dams, underground construction, offshore platforms, pipelines, naval vessels, ocean structures, nuclear power plants, and also airplanes, aerospace and automotive structures.
The scope of this Book Series covers the entire spectrum of structures and infrastructures. Thus it includes, but is not restricted to, mathematical modeling, computer and experimental methods, practical applications in the areas of assessment and evaluation, construction and design for durability, decision making, deterioration modeling and aging, failure analysis, field testing, structural health monitoring, financial planning, inspection and diagnostics, life-cycle analysis and prediction, loads, maintenance strategies, management systems, nondestructive testing, optimization of maintenance and management, specifications and codes, structural safety and reliability, system analysis, time-dependent performance, rehabilitation, repair, replacement, reliability and risk management, service life prediction, strengthening and whole life costing.
This Book Series is intended for an audience of researchers, practitioners, and students world-wide with a background in civil, aerospace, mechanical, marine and automotive engineering, as well as people working in infrastructure maintenance, monitoring, management and cost analysis of structures and infrastructures. Some volumes are monographs defining the current state of the art and/or practice in the field, and some are textbooks to be used in undergraduate (mostly seniors), graduate and postgraduate courses. This Book Series is affiliated to Structure and Infrastructure Engineering.an international peer-reviewed journal which is included in the Science Citation Index.
It is now up to you, authors, editors, and readers, to make Structures and Infrastructures a success.

Experimental Verification of Viscous Damping Modeling for Inelastic Time History Analyzes

pages 125-145
Keywords: Viscous Damping Modeling, Shake Table Tests, Theory/Experiment Comparison, Time History Analysis
Abstract:
Inelastic time history analyzes (ITHA) are recognized as the most suitable tool for describing the behavior of structures under seismic actions. It is clear that the reliability of ITHA results is strongly dependent on the modeling choices. One of the aspects still debated, in spite of a large amount of research, is the modeling of viscous damping forces. In the case of a single degree of freedom (SDOF) structure, the damping not represented by hysteretic response is commonly assumed proportional to the square root of the system stiffness: typically in the research papers it is not declared whether the initial or tangent-stiffness is considered. Recent research has shown that initial or tangent-stiffness proportional damping can give very different results in terms of energy dissipation, and peak response displacement. In this work, experimental and numerical tests performed to detect the most appropriate model are described and discussed.
