Dynamic Characteristics of the Structure with Viscoelastic Dampers Combined with Inerters and Subjected to Temperature Changes

The purpose of the work is dynamic analysis of passive dampers used in structural systems to reduce excessive vibrations caused by wind or earthquakes. Special systems are considered that contain inerter, i.e. device using rotational inertia, in combination with a viscoelastic damper. The so-called fractional models of viscoelastic dampers describe their dynamic behavior in a …
