Abstract

One of the main sources of destruction during earthquake is resonance. Therefore, the following idea has been proposed. We design special control linkages between floors that are normally unattached to the building but can be attached if necessary. They are so designed that adding them changes the building's characteristic frequency. We continuously monitor displacements within the structure, and when they exceed specified limits, the linkages are engaged in a way to control structural motion. This idea can also be applied to avoid vibrational destruction of large aerospace structures.

Abstract

Однн из основных нсточников разрушений при землетрясении — резонанс. В связи с зтим прелложена следуюшая идея. Мы разрабатываем специальные управляюшие связи между зтажами, которые в норме ие соединены с самим зданием, но при необходимости могут быть присоединены. Они созданы так, что их добавление изменяет резонансную частоту здания. Мы последовательно отслеживаем смещения в структуре, и, когда они превышают определенный предел, связи включаются для контроля лвижения системы. Зта илея также может быть применена, чтобы предотвратить вибрационное разрушение в болыцих азрокосмических системах.
