Exploring Dielectric and Magnetic Properties of Ni and Co Ferrites through Biopolymer Composite Films

This study explores the synthesis and characterization of chitosan/gelatine films incorporating nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles. The magnetic nanoparticles exhibit superparamagnetic behaviour, making them attractive for various applications, including biomedical uses. The X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the successful synthesis of NiFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles, and the scanning electron micrographs illustrated well-dispersed ferrite nanoparticles within the biopolymer network, despite the formation of some aggregates attributed to magnetic interactions. Magnetization loops revealed lower saturation magnetization values for the composites, attributed to the chitosan/gelatine coating and the dielectric studies, indicating increased dielectric losses in the presence of ferrites, particularly pronounced in the case of NiFe2O4, suggesting interactions at the interface region between the polymer and ferrite particles. The AC conductivity shows almost linear frequency dependence, associated with proton polarization and conduction processes, more significant at higher temperatures for samples with ferrite particles.

Modeling the Morphology of Fast Radio Bursts and Radio Pulsars with fitburst

We present a framework for modeling astrophysical pulses from radio pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs). This framework, called fitburst, generates synthetic representations of dynamic spectra that are functions of several physical and heuristic parameters; the heuristic parameters can nonetheless accommodate a vast range of distributions in spectral energy. fitburst is designed to optimize the modeling of features induced by effects that are intrinsic and extrinsic to the emission mechanism, including the magnitude and frequency dependence of pulse dispersion and scatter broadening. fitburst removes intrachannel smearing through two-dimensional upsampling, and can account for phase-wrapping of “folded” signals that are typically acquired during pulsar-timing observations. We demonstrate the effectiveness of fitburst in modeling data containing pulsars and FRBs observed with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment telescope.

Piezoelectric and Pyroelectric Properties of Organic MDABCO-NH4Cl3 Perovskite for Flexible Energy Harvesting

This study describes the synthesis and characterization of the lead-free organic ferroelectric perovskite N-methyl-N’-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octonium)-ammonium trichloride (MDABCO-NH4Cl3). The electrospinning technique was employed to obtain nanofibers embedded with this perovskite in a PVC polymer for hybrid fiber production. The dielectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric properties of these fibers were carefully examined. Based on measurements of the dielectric permittivity temperature and frequency dependence, together with the pyroelectric results, a transition from a high temperature paraelectric to a ferroelectric phase that persisted at room temperature was found to occur at 438 K. The measured pyroelectric coefficient yielded values as high as 290 μC K−1 m−2, which is in between the values reported for MDABCO-NH4I3 and the semiorganic ferroelectric triglycine sulfate (TGS). The hybrid nanofibers exhibited good morphological characteristics and demonstrated very good piezoelectric properties. Specifically, a piezoelectric coefficient of 42 pC/N was obtained when applying a periodical force of 3 N and a piezoelectric voltage coefficient of geff = 0.65 V mN−1. The performance of these fibers is on par with that of materials discussed in the existing literature for the fabrication of nano energy-harvesting generators. Importantly, the perovskite nanocrystals within the fibers are protected from degradation by the surrounding polymer, making them a promising environmentally friendly platform for flexible mechanical energy harvesting.

Frequency-dependent ferroelectric and electrocaloric properties in barium titanate-based ceramics based on Maxwell relations

In this work, the frequency dependence of ferroelectric and electrocaloric properties in barium titanate-based ceramics was studied based on Maxwell relations. It is found that the maximum and remnant polarization will decrease while the coercive field increases a lot with rising frequency from 0.1 to 10[Formula: see text]Hz, indicating that polarization rotation and domain switching become difficult at high frequencies. The electrocaloric properties show the different frequency dependence at different phase structures. Isothermal entropy change ([Formula: see text]) and adiabatic temperature change ([Formula: see text]) are similar around/above Curie temperature ([Formula: see text], showing tiny frequency dependence. However, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] display the obvious frequency dependence below [Formula: see text], especially in the orthorhombic–tetragonal phase-transition region with a stable ferroelectric phase, and this frequency dependence becomes more obvious under a low-electric field. It is also found that increasing the frequency can weaken the electric field dependence of electrocaloric strength. This work gives a general profile of frequency dependence for electrocaloric properties in ferroelectric ceramics.

New insights into early-stage time-dependent dielectric characteristics coupled with frequency dependency and hydration-driven reaction of hydraulic cement pastes: Experiments and statistical modelling

In the field of cement and concrete materials engineering, a comprehensive understanding of dielectric properties is crucial for optimising hydraulic cement paste mix designs. This study examines the relationships among the dielectric constant (ε’), loss tangent (tan δ), frequency, hydration time, water content and admixture dosage in different compositions of hydraulic cement paste. A consistent pattern can be observed across the frequency spectrum, where dielectric constants decrease as frequency increases. This aligns with the expected behaviour of cementitious materials. The most notable finding is the inversely proportional relationship between the loss tangent and frequency. As the frequency increases, the loss tangent consistently decreases, indicating improved energy retention and reduced dissipation. This characteristic is of significant value for various applications, including sustainable infrastructure and smart materials. Furthermore, the interactions among hydration time, water content and admixture dosage present an opportunity for dynamic optimisation within the cement paste matrix. These factors collectively impact dielectric properties, providing insights into the potential for tailored material performance and durability, especially in applications where dielectric properties are critical, such as sensing applications and structural health monitoring of concrete structures. This study emphasises the importance of customising cementitious compositions for specific applications in cement and concrete materials engineering. It achieves this through a detailed comparative analysis of different compositions, each representing varying water content and admixture dosage levels. This approach has the potential to significantly transform the field by enabling engineers to create hydraulic cement pastes with customised dielectric properties that meet the specific requirements of construction, infrastructure and other related applications.

Formulation of energy loss due to magnetostriction to design ultraefficient soft magnets

The mechanism of energy loss due to magnetostriction in soft magnetic materials was analytically formulated, and our experiments validated this formulation. The viscosity of magnetic materials causes the resistive force acting on magnetic domain walls through strain due to magnetostriction, and magnetic energy is eventually dissipated by friction even without eddy currents. This energy loss mechanism explains the frequency dependence of the excess loss observed in the experiments, and the excess loss is dominated by the contribution of magnetostriction when the magnetostriction constant exceeds approximately 20 ppm. The random anisotropy model was extended by considering the effect of local magnetostriction as a correction to the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The effect of magnetostriction was considerably suppressed by the exchange-averaging effect. The estimated effective random magnetoelastic anisotropy for nanocrystalline α-Fe reached as low as 18.6 J/m3, but this static effect could not explain the high excess loss at high frequencies observed in the experiments. The results of this research could provide new design criteria for high-performance soft magnetic materials based on low magnetostriction to reduce the excess loss.

How are electricity generation effective on carbon neutrality in the global south? Evidence from sectoral CO2 emissions by daily data

In light of the efforts to ensure carbon neutrality by combating climate-related problems, the study investigates the effectiveness of electricity generation (EG) from the main renewable sources (hydro-HEG, solar-SEG, and wind-WEG). In this context, the study examines the countries of the Global South (i.e., Brazil, China, and India), considers EG at a disaggregated level and sectoral CO2 emissions, applies nonlinear methods, and uses daily data between January 2, 2019 and December 31, 2022. The results demonstrate that (i) disaggregated EG sources have a stronger (weaker) time and frequency dependency on sectoral CO2 emissions in China (Brazil and India); (ii) HEG has a stimulating impact on sectoral CO2 emissions in all countries; (iii) SEG has an increasing impact on sectoral CO2 emissions in Brazil and China, while it provides a decrease in sectoral CO2 emissions in India; (iv) WEG upsurges sectoral CO2 emissions in China, while it achieves a CO2 reduction in Brazil and India; (v) disaggregated level EG has a causal impact on sectoral CO2 emissions across all quantiles except some lower, middle, and higher quantiles. The study adds scientific value to existing knowledge by analyzing for the first time which EG sources are effective in reducing daily CO2 emissions in the Global South. Based on the outcomes, the study demonstrates that WEG is the best EG source for Brazil, that SEG and WEG are optimal EG sources for India, and that China cannot benefit from the EG sources considered. In this way, the study provides fresh insights for the countries of the Global South and underlines the crucial role of renewable EG in ensuring carbon neutrality.

Oscillometry Longitudinal Data on COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Syndrome Treated with Non-Invasive Respiratory Support.

Background: Oscillometry allows for the non-invasive measurements of lung mechanics. In COVID-19 ARDS patients treated with Non-Invasive Oxygen Support (NI-OS), we aimed to (1) observe lung mechanics at the patients' admission and their subsequent changes, (2) compare lung mechanics with clinical and imaging data, and (3) evaluate whether lung mechanics helps to predict clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data from 37 consecutive patients with moderate-severe COVID-19 ARDS. Oscillometry was performed on their 1st, 4th, and 7th day of hospitalization. Resistance (R5), reactance (X5), within-breath reactance changes (ΔX5), and the frequency dependence of the resistance (R5-R19) were considered. Twenty-seven patients underwent computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA): collapsed, poorly aerated, and normally inflated areas were quantified. Adverse outcomes were defined as intubation or death. Results: Thirty-two patients were included in this study. At the first measurement, only 44% of them had an abnormal R5 or X5. In total, 23 patients had measurements performed on their 3rd day and 7 on their 7th day of hospitalization. In general, their R5, R5-R19, and ΔX decreased with time, while their X5 increased. Collapsed areas on the CTPA correlated with the X5 z-score (ρ = -0.38; p = 0.046), while poorly aerated areas did not. Seven patients had adverse outcomes but did not present different oscillometry parameters on their 1st day of hospitalization. Conclusions: Our study confirms the feasibility of oscillometry in critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia undergoing NI-OS. The X5 z-scores indicates collapsed but not poorly aerated lung areas in COVID-19 pneumonia. Our data, which show a severe impairment of gas exchange despite normal reactance in most patients with COVID-19 ARDS, support the hypothesis of a composite COVID-19 ARDS physiopathology.

Study on magnetic properties of two dysprosium(III)-substituted antimonotungstates with different substitution modes

Two Polyoxometalates have been constructed by simple hydrothermal synthesis using rare-earth (RE) and antimonotungstates (ATs) {B-α-SbW9O33} as raw materials with the molecular formulas of H4.5Na1.5(H2O)6(C3H5N2)3{Na(Sb3O)2[B-β-SbW8O31Dy(H2O)2]3}·12H2O (1) and H9(C3H5N2)5{[Sb6IIISbVDy2WO10(H2O)5][(B-β-SbW9O33)2(B-α-SbW9O33)]}·16H2O (2). X-ray Single crystal diffractometer analysis shows that both 1 and 2 possess trimer configurations. Polyoxoanion 1 is assembled from three trilacunary {B-β-SbW8O31Dy(H2O)2}p units linked via {Na(Sb3O)2} cluster, where the trilacunary {B-β-SbW8O31Dy(H2O)2} unit is formed by the tetralacunary {B-β-SbW8O31} unit captures one Dy(H2O)23+ cation. Polyoxoanion 2 is composed of a novel 5p−4f heterometallic cluster {Sb6IIISbVDy2WO12(H2O)5} simultaneously stabilized by two {B-β-SbW9O33} units and one {B-α-SbW9O33} unit. In addition, two-dimensional correlation infrared spectroscopy (2D COS-IR) under magnetic disturbance was measured to investigate the difference of the variable temperature magnetic susceptibility between two compounds to explore the source of magnetic properties, and further magnetic property tests indicate that 1 and 2 may exhibit single-molecule-magnet behavior with distinct frequency dependence. This work deepens the theory of 2D COS-IR and also enriches the theoretical and experimental data of magnetism.

Electrochemical dielectric response of steel corrosion induced by chloride in simulated concrete pore solution

Electrochemical and dielectric properties of steel oxide films can have an impact on the corrosion process but are still poorly understood due to the unavailability of measurement methods. In this study, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was adopted to interpret steel corrosion induced by chloride in a simulated concrete pore solution. Particularly, validation of EIS data by Kramers–Kronig transforms was performed prior to further EIS interpretation. Relative dielectric permittivity of corroded steel/electrolyte interface was derived through theoretical induction and corrosion products were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Results indicated that measured EIS data in the present study depicted good causality and stability. Corrosion at the steel/electrolyte interface induced by increasing chloride led to high relative permittivity within the low frequency domain while marginal difference could be observed at the high frequency range. AC conductivity of corrosion products at steel/solution interfaces revealed a notable frequency dependence, based on which three distinct frequency regions were subdivided.

Reciprocality of Electrical Conductance and Polarization in Their Frequency Dependence

This paper presents the electrical polarization and conductance, which can be considered separately only at a constant voltage, while, in the alternating electrical field, they are two sides of the same process, namely, forced by electrical field inertial motion of partially bound and relatively free charged particles. To describe this process, the complex permittivity ε*(ω) = ε′(ω) − iε′′(ω) and the complex conductivity σ*(ω) = σ′(ω) + iσ′′(ω) can be used equally that is shown by the examples of dielectrics, semiconductors, and metals. As the frequency increases, the delay of polarization leads to an increase in the conductivity, while the delay in the electronic conductivity of a metal can be described by the negative permittivity. This possibility has been explored using the relaxation and the resonance models with the examples of dielectrics, semiconductors, and metals. It is shown that the semiconductor “conductivity”, supposedly arising instead of the delayed polarization is not adequate to the classical understanding of this parameter and can be considered only as the effective conductivity. The physical mechanisms of these transformations are explained.

Signatures of nearly compensated magnetism and spin glass behavior in highly frustrated β-Mn-type Mn50Fe25+xAl25-x Heusler alloys.

The present study examines the effect of Fe/Al concentration on the structural and magnetic properties of Mn-rich Mn50Fe25+xAl25-x (x = 5, 10, 15) Heusler alloys through x-ray diffraction, temperature- and field-dependent DC magnetization, thermoremanent magnetization, magnetic memory effect, AC susceptibility measurements, and DFT calculations. The samples crystallize in a cubic β-Mn structure. The trend shows a reduction in lattice parameters (unit cell volume) with the increasing Fe proportion. These alloys exhibit strong antiferromagnetic interactions with large frustration parameters, indicating the presence of competing magnetic interactions. The DC magnetization data reveal spin glass-like features with a peak at spin glass freezing temperature (Tf). The observation of bifurcation in temperature-dependent zero-field-cooled and field-cooled magnetization curves, exponential dependence of the temperature variation of remanence and coercivity, magnetic relaxation, and magnetic memory effect below Tf support the spin-glass character of these alloys. The frequency dependence of Tf is also examined in the context of dynamic scaling laws, such as the Vogel-Fulcher law and critical slowing down model, which further supports the presence of spin glass behavior. In the theoretical DFT calculations, the electronic structure is found to be metallic and similar for both spin projections. Moreover, the antiferromagnetic arrangement of the magnetic moments, in line with the experimental observations, is stabilized by exchange interactions, resulting in an almost compensated total magnetic moment of 0.02-0.38µB/f.u. This is probably caused by the frustrated structure and non-stoichiometric compositions of Mn50Fe25+xAl25-x.

Small-signal transmittances of the non-ideal flyback switch-mode DC–DC converter

Small-signal transmittances of the power stage of a flyback converter in continuous conduction mode are derived on the averaged model obtained by the separation of variables approach. The precise knowledge of these transmittances is necessary in the design process of the converter control circuit. Apart from mathematical formulas for transmittances, the numerical calculations of the frequency dependencies of the transmittances for the assumed set of the converter parameters are presented with the parasitic resistances of components taken into account. The results of the calculations are compared with the measurements performed on the laboratory model of the converter and a good consistency is observed. It is concluded, that the results of the paper may be useful in the designing process of a control circuit of the flyback converter.

Discoveries and timing of pulsars in M62

Abstract Using MeerKAT, we have discovered three new millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the bulge globular cluster M62: M62H, M62I, and M62J. All three are in binary systems, which means all ten known pulsars in the cluster are in binaries. M62H has a planetary-mass companion with a median mass Mc, med ∼ 3 MJ and a mean density of ρ ∼ 11 g cm−3. M62I has an orbital period of 0.51 days and a Mc, med ∼ 0.15 M⊙. Neither of these low-mass systems exhibit eclipses. M62J has only been detected in the two UHF band (816 MHz) observations with a flux density S816 = 0.08 mJy. The non-detection in the L-band (1284 MHz) indicates it has a relatively steep spectrum (β < −3.1). We also present 23-yr-long timing solutions obtained using data from the Parkes ‘Murriyang’, Effelsberg and MeerKAT telescopes for the six previously known pulsars. For all these pulsars, we measured the second spin-period derivatives and the rate of change of orbital period caused by the gravitational field of the cluster, and their proper motions. From these measurements, we conclude that the pulsars’ maximum accelerations are consistent with the maximum cluster acceleration assuming a core-collapsed mass distribution. Studies of the eclipses of the redback M62B and the black widow M62E at four and two different frequency bands, respectively, reveal a frequency dependence with longer and asymmetric eclipses at lower frequencies. The presence of only binary MSPs in this cluster challenges models which suggest that the MSP population of core-collapsed clusters should be dominated by isolated MSPs.

Japanese stock market sectoral dynamics: A time and frequency analysis

AbstractThis study examines the Japanese stock market connectedness across different sectors, focusing on both the time and frequency dimensions. The dataset used spans from January 1999 to April 2022 and employs various methodologies, including time‐varying parameter vector autoregressions, TVP‐VAR frequency dependency, and Quantile coherency. The empirical findings reveal that cyclical or aggressive stocks predominantly act as net transmitters of shocks across sectors. Moreover, short‐term spillovers are more significant compared to intermediate‐term spillovers, indicating that Japanese sectors are more pronounced to market shocks in the short run. The spillover effects are also asymmetric and vary over time. Additionally, the real estate sector exhibits diversification benefits across different time horizons, while the energy sector provides protection primarily in the short run. This research contributes to the development of financial policies aimed at reducing sectoral imbalances and promoting stable growth. Furthermore, it offers insights for investors seeking to devise optimal portfolio diversification strategies.

The influence of imbalances on the dynamic characteristics of the laboratory centrifuge HERMLE Z306

Laboratory centrifuges are used in various industries. During operation, vibrations occur that lead to resonant frequencies, which in turn impair functionality. This paper presents an overview of the computational model of the HERMLE Z306 laboratory centrifuge used in medical laboratories to separate mixtures of different fractions to determine the dynamic characteristics. The zones of stable operation of the centrifuge and the influence of the rotation speed on the natural frequencies are analytically determined. Experimental results are presented with the influence of imbalances on the dynamic characteristics of the HERMLE Z306 centrifuge. As a result of the modeling, the amplitude-frequency characteristics are determined and a Campbell diagram is constructed. Objective: Modeling of dynamic processes in laboratory centrifuges by studying the influence of imbalances on the quality of mixture separation. Determination of zones of stable operation of the centrifuge.Purpose: Construction of amplitude-frequency characteristics of the centrifuge, determination of zones of stable operation of the laboratory centrifuge during separation and Campbell diagram showing the dependence of natural frequencies on the rotation speed of the HERMLE Z306 centrifuge. This diagram makes it possible to determine the resonance zones. Methods of implementation: Based on the use of the Lagrange equation of the second kind, a model is obtained that makes it possible to determine the zones of stable operation of the centrifuge. Using experimental equipment, determine the frequency response of the centrifuge and analyze the Campbell diagram to determine the resonance zones.Results: The zones of stable operation of a laboratory centrifuge were analytically determined. The amplitude-frequency characteristics of the HERMLE Z306 centrifuge were constructed, the trajectories of the free end of the shaft were built taking into account the corresponding imbalances, and the resonance zones were experimentally determined. Conclusions: Experimental studies have shown that the free end of a laboratory centrifuge shaft moves along a surface whose shape and, accordingly, the path of movement depend on both the angles of rotation and translational movement that arise as a result of deformations of elastic supports. The analytical and experimental studies made it possible to identify unstable modes and thereby determine the areas of the centrifuge's operating modes. The separation process will be stable if the roots of the equation have a negative real part, and moreover, the motion will be asymptotically stable in the presence of resistance forces. An experimental technique for determining the dynamic parameters of the centrifuge has been developed. On its basis, the effect of the rotation speed on the natural frequencies was determined.

Scanning probe microscopy and microwave phenomena in composite containing iron nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes

Epoxyamine matrix-based composites containing 15 wt% of Fe nanoparticles and 1.5 or 2 wt% of carbon nanotubes, as well as composites containing only Fe particles, have been studied using microwave methods and various scanning probe microscopy techniques, such as scanning capacitance microscopy and scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy. The composites were prepared using technological methods that improve their homogeneity. Probe current dependences investigated by applying different voltages to the probe in the Kelvin probe force microscopy mode have shown that the falling regions of the dependences at both positive and negative values of the bias voltage are found only for the sample containing both the Fe particles and the CNT in the “soft epoxy” matrix. Microwave measurements of the transmission and reflection coefficients were performed in the frequency range from 26 to 38 GHz. The field dependences of the microwave power dissipation have been plotted. The ferromagnetic resonance in the composites has been investigated. Frequency dependences of the complex dielectric permittivity of the composites have been determined. Microwave properties of the CNT-containing and CNT-free composites have been compared.

Effects of hydrocolloids on mechanical properties, viscoelastic and microstructural properties of starch-based modeling clay

The effects of various hydrocolloids (guar gum, xanthan gum, and carboxymethyl cellulose) on the texture, rheology, and microstructural properties of modeling clay prepared with cassava starch were investigated. Notably, incorporation of 3 % guar gum and 4 % xanthan gum into starch-based modeling clay resulted in enhancements of 94.12 % and 77.47 % in cohesiveness, and 64.70 % and 66.20 % in extensibility, respectively. For starch-based modeling clay with added guar gum and xanthan gum, compared to formulations without hydrocolloids, the linear viscoelastic range exceeded 0.04 %, and the frequency dependence of both maximum creep compliance (Jmax) and storage modulus (G′) was significantly reduced. This indicates a more stable network structure and enhanced resistance to deformation. Results from Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed that the physical interactions between starch and various hydrocolloids, along with the addition of these hydrocolloids, inhibited the degradation effect of thermomechanical processing on the crystalline structure of starch. With the addition of guar gum, it is observed that a continuous and dense network structure forms within the starch-based modeling clay, and starch particles are distributed uniformly. In conclusion, hydrocolloids enhances the properties of starch-based modeling clay, introducing an innovative solution to the modeling clay sector.

Ytterbium femtosecond fiber laser ablation synthesis of silicon nanocrystals in water: Laser frequency and pulse energy dependence

The utilization of femtosecond laser pulses in synthesizing spherical silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) poses great potential in producing stable nanostructures with chemically pure surfaces and easy-to-manipulate optical properties. In this work, we present an approach that enhances the production and optical quality of surfactant-free spherical SiNCs synthesized in water by ablating silicon wafers with ytterbium fiber femtosecond laser operating at different pulse energies and repetition rates. By further post-synthesis laser treatment of SiNCs suspensions, fragmentation of larger aggregates is observed leading to absorption broadening and absorption-band blueshift. Furthermore, the increase in the repetition rate, from 1 to 500 kHz, of laser pulses having energies of 20 and 240 μJ leads to a decrease in the Si wafer ablation efficiency from 35 to 1.15 pg/pulse; and from 440 to 5.2 pg/pulse, respectively. Using laser pulses with energy of 240 μJ and a repetition rate of 50 kHz results in maximum SiNCs productivity of 33 mg/h. The dependence of the nanostructures's size and ablation efficiency on the pulse energy and repetition rate is attributed to thermal effects on the Si/water interface and within the water layer illuminated by the strong laser radiation.

Prediction on wind‐induced responses for tall buildings considering frequency dependency of viscoelastic damped structures

SummaryTime history analysis is sometimes used in an estimation of the wind‐induced response of a tall building. However, time history analysis for the wind‐induced behavior by the ensemble‐averaging wind force costs much computation time. This paper provides a reliable prediction method for the wind‐induced response of the viscoelastic (VE)‐damped system considering its frequency dependency coupling with frame damping effect with frequency spectral method. VE damper used in high‐rise buildings can dissipate energy from excessive vibration induced by seismic or wind excitation. Fractional derivative (FD) model of VE dampers can express VE frequency dependency clearly, but it is computationally complicated. The herein proposed prediction method is based on frequency spectral method and evaluated wind‐induced responses of the single degree of freedom (SDOF) VE‐damped system with a FD VE damper subjected to the respective 1st modal along‐ and across‐wind force. The maximum error of wind‐induced responses of the VE‐damped system, such as the root mean square value of responses, the total input energy, and the total energy dissipation, is within . In summary, the proposed method had high accuracy in the prediction of wind‐induced responses of the VE‐damped system considering its frequency dependency with the coupling effect of frame damping.
