Author Information

James M Kelly & Dimitrios A Konstantinidis, University of California at Berkeley, USA James M Kelly is a Professor in the Graduate School, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Division of Structural Engineering Mechanics and Materials at the University of California at Berkeley, and a Participating Faculty Member at the Earthquake Engineering Research Center, University of California at Berkeley. He has authored over 300 refereed journal papers and 2 books, Earthquake-Resistant Design with Rubber 2nd ed 1996 (Springer Verlag) and Design of Seismic Isolated Structures, 1999, Wiley. He has led the way in experimental investigations of elastomeric seismic isolation bearings by conducting many pioneering studies of seismically isolated structures and structures with energy dissipators. In testing hundreds of bearings he achieved numerous advances, including the application of high-damping rubber for seismic isolation bearings - used in the first U.S. isolated building and in more than 100 structures around the world and the understanding of the dynamic and ultimate behavior of elastomeric seismic isolation at large deformation. Dimitrios A Konstantinidis is a Postdoctoral Researcher on health monitoring at University of California, Berkeley, working on the development and testing of a reliable scheme for monitoring the health of fluid viscous dampers in bridges via wireless communication.
