Based on the authors' previous development of a Non-Preload Variable Friction Inerter (NVFI), this study explores its underlying dynamic mechanisms, uses harmonic excitation analysis to evaluate the system's frequency adaptability. The NVFI integrates adaptive friction effect and inertial amplification through terminal springs and a ball-screw-based inerter. A comprehensive theoretical framework is established to describe the dynamic behavior of the system, followed by harmonic response and seismic analysis for performance quantification. The results indicate that under seismic excitations of 0.6g, the NVFI reduces displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses by 53.65 %, 39.34 %, and 46.74 %, respectively, achieving 20–30 % higher efficiency than friction dampers. Harmonic analysis confirms the frequency adaptability of the NVFI, showing effective suppression of resonance peaks across a wide frequency range. Energy dissipation evaluations demonstrate a 19.8 % reduction in the seismic input energy, attributable to the ability of the inerter to absorb and redistribute dynamic loads. In addition, the damping ratio of the NVFI remains consistently stable across varying seismic intensities, with values ranging from 0.179 to 0.219 and an average of around 0.201. This stability ensures reliable energy dissipation and long-term damping performance under various earthquake levels. These findings validate the robust damping mechanism of the NVFI and support its suitability for seismic protection in critical infrastructure, particularly when multi-level seismic input is considered.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"200 ","pages":"Article 109803"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145105273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It begins with linear elastic analysis, and inelastic behavior (e.g., changes in stiffness and damping ratio) is indirectly considered employing the inelastic energy absorption factor. However, recent studies suggest enhancing the accuracy of fragility curves through nonlinear analysis. This study evaluates the efficacy of two-stripe based nonlinear approaches: Method A (fitting a lognormal function) and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) for assessing the seismic fragility of prestressed concrete containment structures. It also proposes damage measures and failure criteria suitable for considering the effects of uncertainties in structural parameters on failure under high earthquake loads. The uncertainty of demand is assessed utilizing 30 sets of ground motion time histories. The uncertainty of capacity is assessed using 30 random variable sets of three material properties-concrete compressive strength, 1st natural frequency, and damping ratio-generated by Latin hypercube sampling. Pushover and time-history analysis indicate that failure criteria based on lateral drift consistently capture failure more accurately than those based on base shear or strain levels. Both stripe-based approaches yield median capacities within 2 % of the SOV method. When accounting for uncertainties in both demand and capacity, the stripe-based approaches align better with observed failure ratios at high PGA levels, though MLE tends to overestimate failure ratios at lower PGA. These findings suggest that combining method A and MLE can more comprehensively capture nonlinear behavior across the full PGA range, leading to more accurate failure predictions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49502,"journal":{"name":"Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering","volume":"200 ","pages":"Article 109804"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145060034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dataset comprising 225 self-centering systems with varying structural characteristics is created to generate input energy spectra under 360 ground motions, specifically selected in accordance with the soil types outlined in the Chinese code.

This model captures the effect of local site conditions, wave passage, and coherence on the structural responses of fault-crossing bridges. A theoretical stochastic analysis scheme based on the pseudo-excitation method (PEM) is then introduced for seismic analysis of simply supported bridges subjected to spatially varying fault-crossing ground motions. The accuracy and efficiency of this PEM are verified through comparative analysis with the nonlinear time history method (NTHM) using the equivalent ground motion inputs. These inputs are derived by transforming the proposed fault-crossing seismic model from the frequency domain into time-domain ground motion time histories. To facilitate the use of the proposed spatially varying fault-crossing ground motion model and efficient PEM in stochastic seismic analyses of complex, critical bridges, the scheme is implemented and verified within a general finite element platform.

The impact of the disturbance load on the crack initiation and damage stresses are positively and negatively correlated with the pre-static load level, respectively. Disturbance loading causes a linear decrease in cohesion and a slight increase in the internal friction angle, which together lead to a reduction in shear strength. This highlights the dominant role of cohesion degradation in the mechanical weakening of sandstone under dynamic-static coupled conditions. Shear cracks dominate under constant and disturbance loadings exceeding 70 %. Disturbance loads induced more shear cracks. The b-value increased with the disturbance amplitude, and high-amplitude disturbances promoted small-scale microcracking in sandstone. An increased disturbance amplitude weakened the ability of the specimen to store elastic energy and bearing capacity, whereas an increased pre-static load level enhanced these abilities.
