Effect of Tuned Inerter Dampers (TID) on the Vibration Control of Adjacent Structures

In this paper, the effect of viscous dampers (VD) on control adjacent structures is firstly discussed, and then tuned inerter (TID) utilized to enhance performance structures. The relative displacement absolute acceleration responses TID controlled are optimized evaluated by H∞ transfer functions. results show that there an optimal damping ratio minimize response structure when VD used, but required corresponding relatively larger. Instead, use gradually enhances with increase inertance-mass more significant at small ratio. Compared VD, only requires smaller achieve a similar VD.
