Strange Quark Today

The developments of tuned mass dampers have contributed much in the modern techniques of architectural engineering. Except for stabilizing the structures of tall buildings, they also protect them against chance of great damage brought by quakes and make the expansion of bigger skyscrapers practical. [...]

Viscous damping has been typically utilised to decrease resonant vibration in most structures through energy dissipation mechanisms. This technology enhances the performance of structures and buildings. [...]
