A Novel Hybrid Semi-Active Mass Damper Configuration for Structural Applications

In this paper, a novel energy- and cost-efficient hybrid semi-active mass damper configuration for use in structural applications has been developed. For this task, an arrangement of both active and semi-active control components coupled with appropriate control algorithms are constructed and their...
