Most control techniques in the structural engineering literature are aimed at improving performance of the primary structural part, but they may have limited or reverse effect on the nonstructural component during strong seismic events. In this paper, we emphasize the nonstructural performance using a cubic nonlinear active control system optimized in the frequency response functions of an SDOF...

An Er"+-doped fiber ring laser with unidirectional operation without optical isolator has been investigated for different cavity conditions. The fiber ring laser cavity is built in such a way that the optical fields propagating in the two directions suffer different losses. As a consequence, the laser oscillation appears in a quasi-unidirectional form. By incorporating a fiber pigtailed bandpas...

The seismic design of bridge structure is influenced by the bi-directional excitation phenomenon. The bi-directional effects have been ignored in most of the past studies. The calculation of maximum isolator displacements (as per the equation prescribed by AASHTO) also ignores the bi-directional effects of ground motion. In the formulation, the coupled behaviour of the isolation systems has als...

Flow inside the isolator of a scramjet engine is likely to be in thermal non-equilibrium due to successive shock-based compressions and expansions. Given the short flow-through timescales in such engines, the flow might not reach equilibrium even in the fuel injection region. Since the distribution of energy in the internal modes affects chemical reactions, non-equilibrium has been shown to hav...

Reducing the radiated noise from ships is becoming increasingly important as ship -builders aim to reduce the disturbance to marine life, passengers and crew. A major contributor is on-board machinery which typically radiates noise to the water column from both structure-borne and air-borne transmission paths. Problematic machinery is often decoupled from the hull by supporting it on resilient ...

Array-type optical devices are important for wavelength-division multiplexing optical communication system to achieve small footprint, mass production, and reliability. For fabricating transmitter module in an array configuration, it is difficult to achieve a passive alignment of isolator, collimating lens, and laser diode. To facilitate array isolator integration, a waveguide collimator is pro...

A compact all-fiber Faraday isolator and a Faraday mirror are demonstrated. At the core of each of these components is an all-fiber Faraday rotator made of a 4-cm-long, 65-wt%-terbium-doped silicate fiber. The effective Verdet constant of the terbium-doped fiber is measured to be -32 rad/(Tm), which is 27 x larger than that of silica fiber. This effective Verdet constant is the largest value me...

Resonant-layer effect RLE optical isolators can be integrated with a wide variety of optical waveguide devices and systems and theoretically provide a high degree of isolation with low insertion loss. The effect of mode coupling within the isolator and the losses due to coupling between the isolator and the input and output waveguides on the performance of RLE isolators is calculated. The resul...
