Abstract
The efficacy of the MR-damper, used in conjunction with recently developed semi-active control strategies for response reduction in seismically excited structures were experimentally demonstrated. A prototype MR damper, provided by Lord Corporation, is employed to control a scaled, three-story test structure at the Structural Dynamics and Control/Earthquake Engineering Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. The results indicate that this semi-active control system is quite effective for seismic response reduction.
