Re-shaping hysteretic behaviour?spectral analysis and design equations for semi-active structures.

Semi-active dampers offer significant capability to reduce dynamic wind and seismic structural response. A novel resetable device with independent valve control laws that enables semi-active re-shaping of the overall structural hysteretic behaviour has been recently developed, and a one-fifth scale...
