Optimal Tuned Inerter Dampers for Vibration Control Performance of Adjacent Building Structures

Under the effect of strong earthquakes, collisions or excessive inter-story displacements may occur between adjacent building structures to extent that structure is damaged. The traditional seismic measures for these can no longer meet needs in practical engineering. In this paper, we propose application parallel and serial TID-based control systems buildings as an example a single-story building, use it form new reduction structure. dynamic characteristics design parameter optimization vibration system are investigated by means Monte Carlo pattern search method H2 norm theory. results show introduction TID effectively improve resistance buildings. problem amplification caused resonance obviously improved, which especially evident based on TID. more robust. When optimizing right damping requirement decreases mass ratio increases, while increases both systems, difference optimal inertial small. practice, moderate increase masses have positive performance systems. main contribution paper fill research gap applications reduction.
