How Long-Term Structural Monitoring Proves TMD Effectiveness

When it comes to skyscrapers, wind can have an intense effect on the top levels of a super tall, slender building. Strong winds can cause...

Damping Explained: The Impact of Friction on Tuned Mass Dampers

Tuned mass dampers experience friction in the real world and must overcome this friction to perform properly.

Damping Explained: Enhancing building performance

High-rise buildings and skyscrapers are susceptible to larger wind loads and therefore often require supplemental damping systems to...

Bad Vibrations on the Dancefloor

Vibration must be taken into consideration when structural engineers design and build structures. Vibrations in a structure can occur in...

How Multiple Tuned Sloshing Dampers Work & Why You Should Care

Tuning multiple tanks to different frequencies could improve both the performance and robustness of the damping system.

How Thomas Edison inspired multiple tuned sloshing dampers

With this new multi-tuned damper approach, engineers should theoretically be able to tune structural damping devices even more precisely.

Controlling motion in the world’s most ambitious structures

The visions for the world's most ambitious structures can only be realized with effective motion control

Anatomy of a logo: A new design for our next chapter
