Optimum Three-Element Tuned Mass Damper for Damped Main Structures under Ground Acceleration

Passive control devices have been used for a long time to reduce unwanted vibrations. The most commonly of these are tuned mass dampers. optimum parameters the three-element damper damped main structures due ground acceleration investigated in this paper. Unlike traditional damper, contains two spring elements and one them is connected series with damping element. obtained by simulated annealing algorithm. Numerical results show that very effective reducing dynamic vibrations structures.
