Tuned mass damper (TMD) device has been a popular vibration control system for moderns as high-rise building, bridge to suppress excessive vibration due to environment or human loading. Moreover, multiple tuned mass dampers have received much attention in the researched. An optimal design theory for bridge implemented with multiple TMD devices is proposed in this paper. The proposed method chooses the objective function with the constraints on the peaks which are at the same heights over frequency ranges of interest. This proposed method successfully reduces vibration of bridge traveled by a car. In a future study, we will extend the optimal design theory for the cases with more than one car and the bridge under seismic loading.


Abstract. Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are installed in base-isolated building to suppress the excessive isolator displacement and acceleration responses of primary structure. By incorporating an inerter element into the original configuration, the seismic performance of TMD is significantly enhanced. In this work, optimal solutions of tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) for improving the seismic resilience of base-isolated building are proposed. The analytical formulations of optimal design of TMDI are respectively developed to minimize the H2 norm of the displacement of primary structure relative to the base floor and the isolator displacement. The performance of presented optimal methods are validated by using stationary responses under the stochastic excitations. Additionally, the seismic performance of TMDI with parameters obtained from the proposed method are compared with the established methods.

Offshore platform rocking wall system and tuned mass damper are briefly introduced, and the paper integrates the advantages of these two kinds of seismic method, and the TMD is attached to the jacket offshore platform - rocking wall system, using the ANSYS for finite element analysis, and the analysis results are optimized. The results show that compared with the offshore platform - rocking wall system, additional TMD can give full play to the performances of the two kinds of seismic methods, which is remarkable.
