In this work, the addressed main issues include modeling of the dynamic interaction of the structures, optimization of the parameters of the dampers and comparison of their efficiency. A new approach to optimize multiple tuned mass damper systems on an uncertain model is proposed based on the H-infinity optimization criteria and the DK iteration procedure with norm-bounded uncertainties in frequency domain. The parameters of tuned mass dampers are optimized directly and simultaneously on different modes contributing significantly to the multi-resonant peaks to explore the different possible combinations of parameters. The effectiveness of the present method is also evaluated through comparison with a previous method. In the case of semi-active tuned mass dampers, an optimization algorithm is derived to control the magnetorheological damper in these semi-active damping systems. The use of the proposed algorithm can generate various combinations of control gains and state variables. This can lead to the improvement of the ability of MR dampers to track the desired control forces. An uncertain model to reduce detuning effects is also considered in this work. Next, for fluid viscous dampers, in order to tune the optimal parameters of fluid viscous dampers to the vicinity of the exact values, analytical formulae which can include structural damping are developed based on the perturbation method. The proposed formulae can also be considered as an improvement of the previous analytical formulae, especially for bridge beams with large structural damping. Finally, a new combination of magnetorheological dampers and a double-beam system to improve the performance of the primary structure vibration is proposed. An algorithm to control magnetorheological dampers in this system is developed by using standard linear matrix inequality techniques. Weight functions as a loop shaping procedure are also introduced in the feedback controllers to improve the tracking ability of magnetorheological damping forces. To this end, the effectiveness of magnetorheological dampers controlled by the proposed scheme, along with the effects of the uncertain and time-delay parameters on the models, are evaluated through numerical simulations. Additionally, a comparison of the dampers based on their performance is also considered in this work.}, subject = {High-speed railway bridge}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacLahmerZhangetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhang, Yancheng and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Stochastic predictions of interfacial characteristic of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs)}, series = {Composites Part B Engineering}, journal = {Composites Part B Engineering}, pages = {80 -- 95}, abstract = {Stochastic predictions of interfacial characteristic of polymeric nanocomposites (PNCs)}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacLahmerKeiteletal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Lahmer, Tom and Keitel, Holger and Zhao, Jun-Hua and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Stochastic predictions of bulk properties of amorphous polyethylene based on molecular dynamics simulations}, series = {Mechanics of Materials}, journal = {Mechanics of Materials}, pages = {70 -- 84}, abstract = {Stochastic predictions of bulk properties of amorphous polyethylene based on molecular dynamics simulations}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{GhasemiBrighentiZhuangetal., author = {Ghasemi, Hamid and Brighenti, Roberto and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Muthu, Jacob and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Sequential reliability based optimization of fiber content and dispersion in fiber reinforced composite by using NURBS finite elements}, series = {Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization}, journal = {Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization}, abstract = {Sequential reliability based optimization of fiber content and dispersion in fiber reinforced composite by using NURBS finite elements}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{BeexKerfridenRabczuketal., author = {Beex, L.A.A. and Kerfriden, Pierre and Rabczuk, Timon and Bordas, St{\´e}phane Pierre Alain}, title = {Quasicontinuum-based multiscale approaches for plate-like beam lattices experiencing in-plane and out-of-plane deformation}, series = {Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering}, journal = {Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering}, abstract = {Quasicontinuum-based multiscale approaches for plate-like beam lattices experiencing in-plane and out-of-plane deformation}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{JiangWangRabczuk, author = {Jiang, Jin-Wu and Wang, Bing-Shen and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Phonon modes in single-walled molybdenum disulphide nanotubes: lattice dynamics calculation and molecular dynamics simulation}, series = {Nanotechnology}, journal = {Nanotechnology}, abstract = {Phonon modes in single-walled molybdenum disulphide nanotubes: lattice dynamics calculation and molecular dynamics simulation}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} }
