Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers

Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) is used for suppressing seismic excitation of tall building. The performance of MTMD is compared with that of a single tuned mass system (TMD). Optimum parameters of TMD/MTMD for minimizing the variance response of the damped primary structure derived by Krenk, Igusa, and Jangid were used. The optimally designed MTMD system is more effective than that of a single TMD system for reducing seismic excitation of a tall building.

The dual-layer multiple tuned mass dampers (DL-MTMD) with a uniform distribution of natural frequencies are proposed, which consist of one large tuned mass damper (L-TMD) and an arbitrary number of small tuned mass dampers (S-TMD). The structure is represented by a generalized system corresponding to the specific vibration mode to be controlled. The criterion for assessing the optimum parameters and effectiveness of the DL-MTMD is based on the minimization of the minimum values of the maximum dynamic magnification factors (DMF) of the structure installed with the DL-MTMD. Also considered is the stroke of the DL-MTMD. The proposed DL-MTMD system is demonstrated to show higher effectiveness and robustness to the change in frequency tuning, in comparison to the multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) with equal total mass ratios. It is also demonstrated to be more effective than the dual tuned mass dampers (DTMD) with one large and one small tuned mass damper, but they maintain the same level of robustness to the change in frequency tuning. The DL-MTMD system can be easily manufactured as the optimum value for the linking dashpots between the structure and L-TMD is shown to be zero.

Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers

Dynamic response control of a wind-excited tall building installed with distributed multiple tuned mass dampers (d-MTMDs) is presented. The performance of d-MTMDs is compared with those of single tuned mass damper (STMD) and MTMDs installed at top of the building. The modal frequencies and mode shapes of the building are first determined. Based on the mode shapes of the uncontrolled and controlled building, the most suitable locations are identified for the dampers, in that the TMDs are placed where the modal amplitude of the building is the largest/larger in a particular mode, with each tuned to the modal frequency of the first five modes. The coupled differential equations of motion for the system are derived for the cases with the STMD, MTMDs, and d-MTMDs and solved numerically. Extensive parametric studies are conducted to compare the effectiveness of the three control schemes using STMD, MTMDs, and d-MTMDs by examining the variations in wind-induced responses. The mass ratios, damping ratios of the devices, number of TMDs, and robustness of the TMDs are the parameters of investigation. It is concluded that the MTMDs exhibit improved performance when compared with the STMD. The use of d-MTMDs is most efficient among the three schemes because it can effectively control wind-induced response of the building, while reduced space is required in the installation of the TMDs, as they are placed at various floors.

Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers

The optimum parameters of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) for suppressing the dynamic response of a base-excited damped main system are investigated by a numerical searching technique. The criterion selected for the optimality is the minimization of the steady state displacement of the main system under harmonic base acceleration. The parameters of the MTMD that are optimized include: the damping ratio, the tuning frequency ratio and the frequency bandwidth. The optimum parameters of the MTMD system and corresponding displacement are obtained for different damping ratios of the main system and different mass ratios of the MTMD system. The explicit formulas for the optimum parameters of the MTMD (i.e. damping ratio, bandwidth and tuning frequency) are then derived using a curve-fitting scheme that can readily be used in engineering applications. The error in the proposed explicit expressions is investigated and found to be negligible. The effectiveness of the optimally designed MTMD system is also compared with that of the optimum single tuned mass damper. It is observed that the optimally designed MTMD system is more effective for vibration control than the single tuned mass damper. Further, the damping in the main system significantly influences the optimum parameters and the effectiveness of the MTMD system.

In contrast with the odd number based multiple tuned mass dampers (ON-MTMD) used conventionally, which is targeted at the central natural frequency, the arbitrary integer based multiple tuned mass dampers (AI-MTMD) is proposed for the convenient applications of MTMD by giving up the central natural frequency hypothesis. The total number of the TMD units constituting the AI-MTMD may be selected as an arbitrary integer according to the practical requirements. In terms of the dynamic magnification factors (DMF) of the AI-MTMD structure system, the criterion for evaluating the optimum parameters and effectiveness of the AI-MTMD is selected as the minimization of the minimum values of the maximum DMF of the structure with the AI-MTMD. Employing the maximum DMF of every mass block in the AI-MTMD, the stroke of the AI-MTMD is simultaneously evaluated. The results indicate that both the AI-MTMD and the ON-MTMD can practically render the same performance, thus demonstrating that the former can be more convenient in mitigating structural oscillations with respect to the ON-MTMD stuck to the central natural frequency hypothesis.

Wind Induced Vibration

A composite tuned mass damper(CTMD) is a vibration control device consisting of an active-passive tuned mass dampers supported on the primary vibrating structure. The performance of CTMD in mitigating wind-induced vibration of tall building is investigated. Optimum parameters of a passive tuned mass damper(PTMD)for minimizing the variance response of the damped primary structure under random loads, with different mass ratio of an active tuned mass damper(ATMD) to a PTMD have been used for the optimum parameters of CTMD. The active control force generated by ATMD actuator was estimated by using linear quadratic Gaussian(LQG) controller, and the fluctuating along-wind load, treated as a stationary random process ,was simulated numerically using the along-wind load spectrum proposed by Solari .Comparing the along-wind rms response of tall building without a CTMD, the CTMD is effective in reducing the response to 40%~45% of the response without the CTMD. Therefore, the CTMD system was effective in reducing wind-induced vibration of tall building.

Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers

The performance of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) installed at the top floor of the wind excited benchmark building under across wind loads is investigated. The performance of MTMD is compared with that of single tuned mass damper (TMD) having same total mass. The governing equations of motion of the building with MTMD/ TMD are solved by employing state space formulation. Initially, the TMD is installed at the top floor of the benchmark building and the optimum parameters of the damper for the minimization of various performance criteria of the building are obtained for different mass ratios. Later on, the MTMD is installed at the top floor of the building and the optimum parameters are obtained for the minimization of various performance criteria of the building for different mass ratios and number of dampers. As it is easier to maintain the same stiffness of dampers, the stiffness of each damper in MTMD is maintained as constant. From the study, it is found that the MTMDs are quite effective and robust in the vibration control of the benchmark building.

Although the design and applications of linear tuned mass damper (TMD) systems are well developed, nonlinear TMD systems are still developing. In this paper, the application of multiple semi-active friction tuned mass dampers (SAF-MTMD) for response control of a multistory structure under seismic excitation is investigated. The friction forces of the SAF-MTMD are controllable. A non-sticking friction (NSF) controller, which is able to keep each of the TMD activated and in its slip state throughout an earthquake with arbitrary intensity, was conducted. A parametric study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of SAF-MTMD. The seismic performance of the SAF-MTMD is also compared with the single and multiple passive friction tuned mass dampers (PF-TMD/PF-MTMD). The numerical result shows that the SAF-MTMD is superior to PF-MTMD in reducing the response of the primary structure under the seismic excitation.
