This paper concerns the numerical performance evaluation of multi-degree-of-freedom systems equipped with Tuned Mass Dampers-Inerter (TMDIs); a passive control device used for mitigation mechanical vibrations induced by dynamic loads. The inerter is commonly to increase apparent mass classics tuned dampers (TMDs), improving its seismic performance. To evaluate TMDI action, three case studies ar...

A tuned mass damper with variable stiffness can achieve vibration reduction without changing the resonant frequency, but large limits its engineering applications. To overcome this drawback, a novel is proposed adjusted by PI controller and block replaced an inerter. The attached to two-degrees-of-freedom primary structure, dynamic equations are established. frequency responses obtained from ha...

This paper reports a novel control strategy combined with artificial intelligence for windinduced vibration control of a high-rise structure and also provides a broader idea for traditional structural vibration control. The fast Fourier transform based on decimation-in-time was used to optimize th...

Whenever a tuned-mass damper is attached to a primary system, motion of the absorber body in more than one degree of freedom (DOF) relative to the primary system can be used to attenuate vibration of the primary system. In this paper, we propose that more than one mode of vibration of an absorber body relative to a primary system be tuned to suppress single-mode vibration of a primary system. W...

The present paper deals with the optimisation of a hybrid Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) in reducing the transient structural response due to impulse loading. In particular, a unit impulse excitation has been assumed, acting as base displacement, which is a situation that may occur in different real applications. The proposed hybrid Tuned Mass Damper is composed of a previously optimised passive TMD a...
