In this paper, Hefei TV Tower is used as an analytical case to examine the Hybrid control method on seismic response. Firstly, on the basis of the other’s work, a bi-model dynamic model is proposed to study the seismic response vibration hybrid control, using tuned mass damper and viscous fluid dampers. Then the optimal coefficient is obtained by considered the seismic response of upper turret as optimization objectives. According to analysis, it’s showed that the seismic responses of the tower are decreased greatly with tuned mass damper and viscous fluid dampers, and the vibration reduction effectiveness of the tower is sensitive to the spectral characteristics of earthquake wave.

Currently, the frequency of earthquakes is increasing in Korea, but due to the lack of appropriate seismic equipment, significant damage is expected. In order to solve this problem, active tuned mass damper will be developed to reduce earthquake damage in response to seismic waves, which are combined from low frequency to high frequency. In this paper, various control methods are introduced to reduce the amplitude ratio occurring at the 1st and 2nd natural frequencies for 3 DOF nonstructural elements. Through mathematical modeling, we confirm how each control method is applied and present the problems of the existing passive tuned mass damper and suggest the active tuned mass damper. To induce an active copper reducer, the response according to the control method can be predicted with a focus on the energy change rate. The active controller receives feedback from the relative displacement and relative velocity of the structure and uses it as a variable to set the control method. The passive control method and the active control method are compared through the simulation, and excellent control performance can be confirmed in the high frequency region as well as the second natural frequency. Vibration reduction performance was confirmed by each control method and the most ideal control method was selected. The optimum vibration reduction performance can be confirmed by using the signal function to always generate 180° of phase difference with respect to the speed of the structure. Not only earthquake but also mechanical vibration, wind load, etc., it can be used in all fields where damage is caused by excitation force inherent in various complex frequencies.

The dynamic characteristics of a bottom-fixed offshore wind turbine (OWT) under earthquakes are analyzed by developing an integrated analysis model of the OWT. Further, the influence of the interactions between the rotor and support system on the structural responses of the OWT subjected to an earthquake is discussed. Moreover, a passive control method using a tuned mass damper (TMD) is applied to the OWT to control the responses under earthquakes. The effects of the mass ratio, location and tuned frequency of the TMD on controlling structural responses of the OWT under different recorded seismic waves are studied.

Abstract Recently, in order to enhance the habitable amenities, passive and active control of structures subjected to weak earthquake and wind response by using tuned mass damper (TMD) has been proposed and has been applied. However, the ordinary tuned mass damper is difficult to control the response of structures under the strong earthquake. This paper deals with the response control of a structure by a tuned mass damper with lever and pendulum mechanism (LP-TMD) under the strong earthquake. We applied sliding mode control method to control the response of the four-degree-of-freedom structure with hysteretic restoring force, and we compared the performance of the sliding mode control system with that of the LQ control system.

AbstractIn this work we analyze the behavior of a nonlinear dynamical system using a probabilistic approach. We focus on the coexistence of solutions and we check how the changes in the parameters of excitation influence the dynamics of the system. For the demonstration we use the Duffing oscillator with the tuned mass absorber. We mention the numerous attractors present in such a system and describe how they were found with the method based on the basin stability concept.

Tuned mass dampers (TMD) are one of the most reliable devices to control the vibration of the structure. The optimum mass ratio required for a single tuned mass damper (STMD) is evaluated corresponding to the fundamental natural frequency of the structure. The effect of STMD and Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) on a G+20 storey structure are studied to demonstrate the damper’s effectiveness in seismic application. The location and number of tuned mass dampers are studied to give best structural performance in maximum reduction of seismic response for El Centro earthquake data. The analysis results from SAP 2000 software tool shows damper weighing 2.5% of the total weight of the structure effectively reduce the response of the structure. Study shows that introduction of 4-MTMD at top storey can effectively reduce the response by 10% more in comparison to single tuned mass damper. The use of MTMD of same mass ratio that of STMD is more effective in seismic response.
