Engineering structures characterized by increased height and slenderness, such as high-rise buildings, expansive cross-sea bridges, wind turbines, and floating platforms, are frequently located in regions with high-intensity dynamic hazards and challenging marine environments. These structures are susceptible to various external dynamic loads, including winds, earthquakes, sea waves, and vibrations induced by construction or subway activities. Effective structural vibration control is paramount for bolstering the resilience and safety of such engineering structures.
This reprint provides a comprehensive treatise on recent advances and applications in this critical field. The collected studies delve into a wide range of topics, including seismic retrofitting techniques; passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid control systems; advanced control strategies; and the vibration mitigation of various engineering structures. It further explores novel control devices, such as inerters, negative stiffness systems, and metamaterials, alongside the growing application of artificial intelligence and the development of smart structures.
