System data


• Determination of coil turns for solenoid

• By varying two parameters, Sa and Si

Sa : summation of peak acceleration at each floor

Si : summation of peak interstory drift at each floor

which are normalized by uncontrolled responses

• Using envelope of maximum value of Sa and Si

for El Centro, Hachinohe, Kobe earthquakes

• Two EMI systems are designed:

EMI-A from Sa and EMI-D from Si
