A proposed mass-coupling structural mechanism is presented in this paper to represent a TLCD attached to a main structural system. It is a simple structural model and can be applied to the structural analysis of any complicate structure by use of the finite element method. The effectiveness of a passive or active TLCD in vibrational reduction of a five-story shear building subjected to earthquake is included as an example for demonstration and discussion.
