Innovative Technologies for Reducing Structural Vibrations due to Natural Events and Human Activities

Description

The need for effective structural control systems able to improve the performance of new and existing structures against service and extreme loads is ever growing. Indeed, over the last few decades the reduction of unwanted dynamics became a field at which intense research effort has been devoted and significant developments have been achieved by major research groups worldwide.

This special issue aims at networking novel researches concerning complex and edge-technology systems and methodologies addressed to vibration control of civil structures subjected to natural actions, such as earthquakes, wind, and rain, as well as to dynamic loading induced by human activities, such as dancing, aerobics, or walking.

It intends to attract and collect novel contributions coming from different area of research, drawing a multidisciplinary state of the art about the involved topics, while providing the readers with the latest research and more significant application achievements in the field. This special issue also seeks to stimulate the interaction between research groups involved in closely related research activities, sometimes overly compartmentalized because they referred to structural control against a specific dynamic action rather than another. In this regard, innovative solutions for structural control aiming at mitigating multihazard risk will be strongly appreciated within this special issue.
