Energy analysis and optimization of inerter-based systems

This article introduces the basic principles of four kinds inerters applied for structural vibration control including a traditional inertial mass damper and ideal clutch inerter damper. The with all damping (clutch damper_all damped) partial damper_part are distinguished in detail. First, series energy indexes defined further analysis. Second, effect displacement uncontrolled structure inerter-based single-degree-of-freedom systems compared. Finally, considering total input ( E 1 ) invalid CID_ric as effective indexes, combined large number numerical simulation results, variation rules two respect to key parameters (inertia ratio additional damping) summarized, optimal proposed. effectiveness value is verified by comparison.
