Experimental Study on Using Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper for Structural Control of Buildings Resting on Loose Soil

In this study, through series of shaking table tests and statistical analysis, the efficiency of Uniform Tuned Liquid Column Damper (UTLCD) in structures resting on loose soils, considering soil-structure interaction was investigated. The soil beneath the structure is loose sandy soil. The Laminar Shear Box (LSB) as a soil container was adopted and the scaled form of the prototype structure nam...

The effect of time delay on control stability of an electromagnetic active tuned mass damper for vibration control

The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of time delays on the stability of a zero-placement position and velocity feedback law for a vibratory system comprising harmonic excitation equipped with an electromagnetic active tuned mass damper (ATMD). The purpose of the active control is broadening the vibration attenuation envelope of a primary mass to a higher frequency region identifie...

Optimum Parameters for Tuned Mass Damper Using Shuffled Complex Evolution (SCE) Algorithm

This study is investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (TMD) under the seismic excitation. Shuffled complex evolution (SCE) is a meta-heuristic optimization method which is used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a TMD. The efficiency of the TMD is evaluated by decreasing the structural displacement dynamic magnification factor (DDMF) and acceleration ...

Optimization of Tuned Mass Damper Parameters Using Evolutionary Operation Algorithm

Optimum parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) are determined in this paper to minimize dynamic response of a multi-storied building system. The response of the structural system is simulated under lateral excitation. To optimize dynamic parameters of the TMD system for minimum top deflection of the structure, a numerical global optimization algorithm called Evolutionary Operation (EVOP) is use...
