On the Estimation of the Moving Mass of a TMD Installed on a Lively Structure

Tuned Mass Dampers are devices which can be assimilated to single-degree-of-freedom systems with a certain amount of moving mass, natural frequency and damping ratio intended installed on lively structures reduce the contribution mode their response. Once placed structure, movement mass damper couples structural response determines its properties as an isolated system becomes challenging. The authors have previously presented methodology estimate SDOF structure not necessarily tuned mode. It was based transmissibility function and, thus, could estimated. With this work, go one step further present novel procedure value by means same two well selected functions. is applied real timber platform. results compared modification technique show that proposed provides better estimations in more efficient way.
