Optimal Viscous Damper Placement for Elastic-Plastic MDOF Structures Under Critical Double Impulse

A new method for optimal viscous damper placement is proposed for elastic-plastic multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures subjected to the critical double impulse as a representative of near-fault ground motions. The double impulse consists of two impulses with different directions and the critica...
