Passive energy dissipation devices, when incorporated into a structure, absorb or consume a portion of the input energy,thereby reducing energy dissipation demand on primary structural members and minimizing possible structural damage. This book is a unified treatment of passive energy dissipation systems. Basic principles, mathematical modeling, practical considerations, implementation issues and structural applications are discussed for each major device type. Numerous examples and case studies are included.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eFundamentals.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Metallic Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Friction Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Viscoeleastic Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Viscous Fluid Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tuned Mass Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tuned Liquid Dampers.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Future Direction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Glossary.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Indexes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Civil%20engineering,%20surveying%20\u0026amp;%20building%20%5BTN%5D%22\"\u003eTN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52316708569368,"sku":"9780471968214","price":202.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471968214.jpg?v=1781822317","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/passive-energy-dissipation-systems-in-structural-engineering-hardback-9780471968214","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
