Abstract: Semi-active friction dampers (SAFDs), which can adaptively adjust the friction force, function as flexible semi-active control systems for the seismic protection of structures, including ...

The conveniences of modern life such as Uber Eats and ChatGPT are robbing us of satisfaction – and worse still, infantilising us. But should we really go back to the basics? Name: Friction-maxxing.

Abstract: In this paper, (i) we present a novel approach for easily developing mechanical models of buildings integrated with friction dampers to simplify their numerical simulation, and (ii) using ...

Ball heads might be all the rage and favored for speed of setup, as well as compactness, but I find the Manfrotto X-PRO 3-way head makes it quick and easy to make really fine and precise adjustments.

This file documents two TCL scripts that defines the a 3D refined and a simplified numerical models of a Bidirectional Rotational Friction Damper (BRFD-RNM & BRFD-SAM). The BRFD-RNM uses Flat Slider ...

The machine doesn’t care what it’s making—only that it’s making it fast. Frictionless systems optimize output. But meaning, memory, and margin live in the mess it leaves behind. The great smoothing is ...
