Control of response of structures with passive and active tuned mass dampers
Abstract
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and active tuned mass dampers (ATMDs) are control devices added in tall buildings to suppress the response of buildings in irregular external excitations such as earthquakes and wind. The performance of both passive and active damper systems can be assessed by parametric studies. This paper presents a brief description of the theory of passive and active tuned mass dampers. In this work, the effect of TMDs has been studied by changing the frequency ratio of the damper to the first mode of the structure. It was observed that the extra damping provided by TMDs, called effective damping, can primarily be obtained from design charts developed for this purpose. A 25‐storey building is designed and analysed using these charts as an example. The behaviour of a structure with an active tuned mass damper is investigated. The related parameters and equations of the active mass damper for the building are solved and its behaviour arising from external loads is studied. The conventional studies, which are based on white‐noise excitations, usually overestimate the performance of TMDs and ATMDs. Hence, in order to study the behaviour of a building with a TMD and an ATMD in real excitations, El‐Centro and Tabas earthquakes are selected. The results show a significant increase in the effect of TMD performance in controlling the structural displacements by using additional control devices. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In the citing paper
“1-By increasing the mass ratio of TMD to the building, the damping of the building increases linearly and also displacement of the structure reduces when the frequency of excitation is near to the fundamental frequency of the structure.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
