چکیده
The major concern in the construction industry in constructing tall structures is vibration due to wind and earthquake. Tuned mass dampers are an effective and practical ways to reduce the effect of vibration in structures. This thesis presents a tool, which simulates the effect of tuned mass dampers on the structure. This tool has been proposed to form a part of the website, moment.mit.edu. Java applets have been used to represent the working of the tuned mass damper, graphically. This would provide a better understanding for the students, so that they can design tuned mass damper effectively and use it appropriately. Strong dynamic figurers and graphs are used to convey the concept and the idea. Thesis Supervisor: Prof. Jerome J.

Wind-induced Vibration Optimal Control for Long Span Transmission Tower-line System
In this paper, tuned mass dampers with optimal parameters for long span transmission tower-line system are investigated. Equations of motion for a structure-TMD system are derived, and the parameters of TMD, stiffness and damping are optimized, respectively. According to a real project, three-dimensional finite element models of both transmission tower and transmission tower-line system are cre...
متن کاملA RELIABILITY APPROACH TO COMPARE OPTIMAL SEISMIC DESIGNS OF MULTIPLE-TUNED-MASS-DAMPER
Passive systems are preferred tools for seismic control of buildings challenged by probabilistic nature of the input excitation. However, other types of uncertainty still exist in parameters of the control device even when optimally tuned. The present work concerns optimal design of multiple-tuned-mass-damper embedded on a shear building by a number of meta-heuristics. They include well-known g...

In this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the Nosrat jacket; located in Persian Gulf; equipped with Semi Active Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) system have been derived after modeling the structure in SACS software. Owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of SATMD was time consuming. For this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...
متن کاملThe Effect of Tuned Mass Damper on Seismic Response of Building Frames with Uncertain Structural Characteristics
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) could be used to absorb the input energy of the applied load, and reduce the response of the building frames. However, the effectiveness of TMD in reducing the response of the building frames could be affected by inherited uncertainties in the structural characteristics of the frames. In this study, in order to investigate the probabilistic response of steel moment-res...
متن کاملOptimum Parameters for Tuned Mass Damper Using Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) Algorithm
This study is investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (TMD) under the seismic excitation. Shuffled complex evolution (SCE) is a meta-heuristic optimization method which is used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a TMD. The efficiency of the TMD is evaluated by decreasing the structural displacement dynamic magnification factor (DDMF) and acceleration ...
