Summary

This Special Issue highlights recent advances in structural dampers, vibration control, and structural health monitoring, with a particular emphasis on their implications for structural durability, seismic resilience, and integrity assessment.


Key topics include, but are not limited to:
• Condition monitoring, health assessment, and real-time fault detection
• Vibration control strategies for enhancing structural longevity
• Structural damper concepts and applications (viscous, friction, viscoelastic, tuned mass, and smart dampers)
• Fault diagnosis and health monitoring in rotating machinery, particularly for bearings and gears
• Integration of advanced modeling, simulation, and experimental validation for structural health monitoring


The Special Issue welcomes both fundamental research and applied engineering studies, particularly those that bridge advanced simulation with real-world implementation in structural systems.

    Abstract The study proposes a low-cost friction damper designed to enhance the seismic performance of buildings, particularly in regions where existing structures lack adequate seismic resistance and conventional friction dampers are cost-prohibitive or require specialized fabrication. Friction dampers are displacement-controlled devices that dissipate energy through constant slip-force action and relative displacement between attachment points, typically ensuring elastic structural behavior under Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) demands and controlled yielding under Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) conditions. To address limitations in current practice, the proposed device integrates the damping mechanism of vehicle leaf-spring suspension systems with rotational plate friction… More >
