403 Performance Evaluation of Complementary Connected Control Method for a Combination of Three-dimensional Base-isolated and Conventional Structures

In this paper, a novel combination of structures for connected-control mechanism(CCM) is presented. By coupling base-isolation and ordinary structures, the vibration suppression effect of CCM is expected to be expanded, while the stroke of base-isolation layer is hopefully suppressed. Experimental structures and CCM mechanism using magnetic dampers are built and excitation experiments are carried out. The effectiveness of CCM applied to base-isolation and ordinary structures is confirmed.
