Base-isolated structures and passive-controlled structures are remarkably spreading and developing in recent years. In this class, principal of base isolate technology and passive controll technology is lectured. Also, peripheral technologies such as joining technology of devices attaching to the main frame is lectured.
In this classe, students acquire these knowledge.
(1)Principal of base isolate structures and passive controll technology.
