Tuned  mass  dampers  (TMDs)  are  as  a  efficient  control  tool  in  order  to  reduce  undesired vibrations  of  tall  buildings  and  large–span  bridges  against  lateral  loads  such  as  wind  and earthquake. Although many researchers has been...

In this paper, we describe the design and manufacturing of a viscous inertial mass-damper (VIMD) prototype. The damper parameters, mass, damping coefficient can be continuously adjusted. Experimental validations were carried out on VIMD with various parameters scaled sagged cable 19.47 m long for vibration mitigation, along simulation study using finite element method (FEM). experimental result...

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...
