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...

In this research, optimal design and assessment of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) capability in mitigating the damage of nonlinear steel structures subjected to earthquake excitation has been studied. Optimal parameters of TMDs on nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures have been determined based on minimizing the maximum relative displacement (drift) of structure where for sol...

This paper presents a novel mixed source localization algorithm based on high-order cumulant (HOC) and oblique projection techniques. To address the issue of lower accuracy in near-field (NFS) compared to far-field (FFS) localization, presented further enhances NFS localization. First, FFS’s direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimate is acquired utilizing multiple signal classification (MUSIC) spectra...
