Tuned mass damper (TMD) have been studied and installed in structures extensively to protect the structures against lateral loads. Multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) which include a number of TMDs with different parameters have been proposed for improving the performance of single TMDs. When the structural system is considered as multiple degrees of freedom (MDOF) and implemented with MTMDs, t...

High-damping rubber (HDR) dampers have the advantages of convenience for various shapes pressure blocks, aesthetic installation, easy maintenance, temperature stability, etc.; thus, they present good application prospects in vibration reduction stay cables. Hence, a model taut cable equipped with two types HDR damper—i.e., damper and tuned mass–high-damping (TM-HDR-D)—is established herein. The...
