Parametric study and prediction models of the seismic response of single-degree-of-freedom structural systems equipped with Maxwell material fluid viscous dampers

The addition of supplemental damping through fluid viscous dampers has been widely implemented as a seismic protection system for diverse typologies of structures. Typically, fluid viscous dampers are modelled using a Maxwell material model, which accounts for the stiffness of the damper device and its support assembly. However, the influence of the different parameters involved in the design of Maxwell fluid viscous dampers on the dynamic …
