Abstract:

An intelligent structural system equipped with smart structural members that are controllable in real-time is one effective solution to prevent structural damage and failure during hostile dynamic loadings, thereby leading to effective protection of structures and their occupants. The primary purpose of this study is to design, fabricate and characterise a prototype smart member, namely a semi-active magnetorheological (MR) pin joint, through theoretical modelling and experimental investigation. Design of prototype smart pin joints includes theoretical analysis relating to the rotary plate radius, the property of MR fluids and the gap between the rotary plate and the casing based on the requirements of the dynamics of MR pin joints. It is verified that an MR pin joint with a diameter of 180 mm can produce a torque of up to 30 Nm, which is deemed adequate for realisation of the semi-active control for multi-storey building models in the next stage of research. © 2009 Taylor & Francis Group, London.
