Abstract
The negative stiffness inerter damper (NSID) has demonstrated excellent performance in mitigating vibrations in frame structures. However, analysis and optimization of BIS-NSID considering both soil conditions and non-stationary seismic excitation are rarely reported. This study proposes a multi-objective performance optimization procedure (MPOP) to investigate the optimal parameters of BIS-NSID under non-stationary seismic excitation considering firm, medium and soft soil conditions. The non-stationary seismic excitation is expressed as Clough-Penzien model with time modulation function. The analytical solution for the root mean square responses of BIS-NSID are derived considering non-stationary seismic excitation. The pareto optimal fronts is utilized to minimize the BIF displacement and superstructure acceleration. The optimal design is further validated under artificial seismic records. The results illustrate the validity of the MPOP and highlight the advantage of the BIS-NSID for all soil conditions. The demand for inertance and damping values are greater in soft soil conditions, compared to firm and medium soil condition.
