DEVELOPMENT OF EARTHQUAKE FORCE REDUCTION SYSTEM FOR WOODEN HOUSE USING CYLINDRICAL FRICTION DAMPER

Control Characteristics of Mega-sub Controlled Structure System with Friction Damper under Rare Earthquake

In this paper, the seismic responses control characteristics of Mega-structure, Mega-sub Controlled Structure System (MSCSS) without dampers and MSCSS inserted friction dampers are investigated respectively under rare earthquake by using the elastic-plastic time history analysis method. The distribution of plastic hinges and different control efficiency of these structures under rare earthquake...

Development of Inspection System for Wooden Chopsticks

Our aim is to development of the inspection system of wooden chopsticks, and in this paper, we develop the prototype for high-class disposable wooden chopsticks by computer vision technology. We propose a method of inspecting the four items of fine grain sample, coarse grain sample, unpeeled sample, and defective sample. Moreover, we addressed not only the proposal of the algorithm but developm...

damper responding to earthquake

In this paper the vibration behaviors of a structure equipped with a tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) under a harmonic type of earthquake loading are studied. However, due to inherent nonlinear liquid damping, it is no doubt that a great deal of computational effort is required to search the optimum parameters of the TLCD, numerically. Therefore by linearization the equation of motion of the s...

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...
