Abstract In this paper, a hybrid control system (HCS) endowing base isolation (BIS) with Tuned Mass Damper Inerter (TMDI) is proposed for the protection of steel storage tanks from severe structural damages induced by seismic events. Among all components industrial plants, cylindrical are widely spread and play primary role when subjected to hazard, since they suffer many critical issues relate...

This paper presents the stability and bifurcation analysis of a nonlinear thermoacoustic model consisting of a combustion chamber coupled to a Helmholtz damper. Only the acoustic mode in the cavity of the combustion chamber to which the Helmholtz damper is tuned is considered. The Helmholtz damper includes a non-smooth damping term and can be seen as a tuned vibration absorber with a coupling o...

The paper presents a proposed framework to optimize the tuned mass damper (TMD) design, useful for seismic improvement of slender masonry structures. A historical chimney located in northern Italy was considered illustrate TMD design procedure and evaluate performance system. optimization process subdivided into two fundamental phases. In first phase, main parameters were defined starting from ...

To investigate vibration control and optimal design of transmission lines with tuned-mass-damper-inerter (TMDI), the motion equation TMDI is established in paper, closed-form solutions response spectrum line displacement are derived by frequency domain analysis method. The parameters optimized fixed-point theory, performance discussed. results show that increase apparent mass ratio has a positi...
