Vibration and Control in Structures under Single and Multiple Hazards

The field of vibration and control is developed into a multidisciplinary thematic which encompasses knowledge from structural dynamics, modelling, modal analysis, electrical engineering, computer sciences, and control theory, crucial for the understanding and treatment of the issues raised from occurrence of excessive vibrations. [...]advanced research on vibration analysis and control of structures is vital for the safety and serviceability of the infrastructure under single and multiple hazard loads. [...]recently, several vibration analysis methods and control techniques are developed and employed in civil and mechanical engineering. In the paper by N. Longarini et al. entitled “Structural Improvements for Tall Buildings under Wind Loads: Comparative Study,” the authors investigated the behavior of a very slender building under wind loads, to satisfy both strength and serviceability (comfort) design criteria.
