<jats:p> Electro-inductive devices have recently been introduced to implement passive control schemes in special classes of structures. Their fascinating feature is the feasibility of large devices, to be installed, for instance, in long span bridges, much shorter than hydraulic dampers with identical maximum span. The characterization of an electro-inductive device with semi-active behavior is presented in detail in this paper. The paper also discusses ways of building a semi-active device, and details its passive control function. </jats:p>

<jats:p> The Rayleigh–Ritz method is a classical method that has been widely used to investigate dynamic, static and buckling behavior, i.e., the natural frequencies, mode shapes, moments, stresses, critical buckling loads of vibrating structures and to solve boundary value problems. Different developments in the method have taken place from time to time. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review on the application of the Rayleigh–Ritz method to analyze vibration, static and buckling characteristics of beams, shells and plates using different theories. </jats:p>
