Many researches have focused on the optimal design of tuned mass damper (TMD) system without the effect of soil–structure interaction (SSI), so that ignoring the effect of SSI may lead to an undesirable and unrealistic design of TMD. Furthermore, many optimization criteria have been proposed for the optinal design of the TMD system. Hence, the main aim of this study is to compare different opti...

Electric circuits, which produce oscillations at widely separated time scales, cause a huge computational effort in a numerical simulation of the mathematical model based on differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). Alternatively, a multidimensional signal model yields a description via multirate partial differential-algebraic equations (MPDAEs). Initialboundary value problems of the MPDAE syste...
