Dozens of human-induced load models for individual walking and jumping have been proposed in the past decades by researchers and are recommended in various design guidelines. These models differ from each other in terms of function orders, coefficients, and phase angles. When designing structures subjected to human-induced loads, in many cases, a load model is subjectively selected by the design engineer. The effects of different models on prediction of structural responses and efficiency of vibration control devices such as a tuned mass damper, however, are not clear. This article investigates the influence of human-induced load models on performance of tuned mass damper in reducing floor vibrations. Extensive numerical simulations were conducted on a single-degree-of-freedom system with one tuned mass damper, whose dynamic responses to six walking and four jumping load models were calculated and compared. The results show a maximum three times difference in the acceleration responses among all load models. Acceleration response spectra of the single-degree-of-freedom system with and without a tuned mass damper were also computed and the response reduction coefficients were determined accordingly. Comparison shows that the reduction coefficient curves have nearly the same tendency for different load models and a tuned mass damper with 5% mass ratio is able to achieve 50%–75% response reduction when the structure’s natural frequency is in multiples of the walking or jumping frequency. All the results indicate that a proper load model is crucial for structural response calculation and consequently the design of tuned mass damper device.

In this study, a novel passive vibration control device, the three-element vibration absorber–inerter (TEVAI) is proposed. Inerter-based vibration absorbers, which utilize a mass that rotates due to relative translational motion, have recently been developed to take advantage of the potential high inertial mass (inertance) of a relatively small mass in rotation. In this work, a novel configuration of an inerter-based absorber is proposed, and its effectiveness at suppressing the vibration of a single-degree-of-freedom system is investigated. The proposed device is a development of two current passive devices: the tuned-mass-damper–inerter (TMDI), which is an inerter-base tuned mass damper (TMD), and the three-element dynamic vibration absorber (TEVA). Closed-form optimization solutions for this device connected to a single-degree-of-freedom primary structure and loaded with random base excitation are developed and presented. Furthermore, the effectiveness of this novel device, in comparison to the traditional TMD, TEVA, and TMDI, is also investigated. The results of this study demonstrate that the TEVAI possesses superior performance in the reduction of the maximum and root-mean-square (RMS) response of the underlying structure in comparison to the TMD, TEVA, and TMDI.

A single-degree-of-freedom spring-mass-damper model has been developed to simulate the dynamic response of a typical magnetic recording slider under the effect of intermolecular forces. Thornton and Bogy (2003, IEEE Trans. Magn., 39(5), pp. 2420–2422) have previously reported that the slider “snaps” to the surface of the disk, below a certain “critical” flying height, due to the intermolecular forces. We have studied impulse response of the model to show that the slider can snap even at flying heights greater than the critical flying height and that the occurrance of snapping also depends on the magnitude of the applied impulse.

The complexities of resonance in multi-degree of freedom systems (multi-DOF) may be clarified using graphic presentations. Multi-DOF systems represent actual systems, such as beams or springs, where multiple, higher order, natural frequencies occur. Resonance occurs when a cyclic load is applied to a structure, and the frequency of the applied load equals one of the natural frequencies. Both equations and graphic presentations are available in the literature for single degree of freedom (SDOF) systems, which describe the response of spring-mass-damper systems to harmonically applied, or cyclic, loads. Loads may be forces, moments, or forced displacements applied to one end of a structure. Multi-DOF systems are typically described only by equations in the literature, and while equations certainly permit a case by case analysis for specific conditions, graphs provide an overall comprehension not gleaned from single equations. In fact, this collection of graphed equations provides novel results, which describe the interactions between multiple natural frequencies, as well as a comprehensive description of increased vibrations near resonance.

An optimization procedure in the design of a viscoelastic dynamic damper is proposed for a single-degree-of-freedom primary system with the effects of prestrain taken into account. The performance is compared with that by a conventional spring-dashpot-mass damper. Applicability of the proposed procedure to a resonance-frequency-varying system is also shown.

This work presents the results obtained by an experimental study of vibration control for a system with a single degree of freedom, composed by a sliding base on an air track. An inverted pendulum-type tuned mass damper (TMD-IP) is installed on the sliding base to reduce its displacements. First, a reduced model is built using a 3D printer. The experimental model consists of two parts: the mains system, which is the sliding base; and the inverted pendulum (TMD-IP). The model can be tested as a one-degree-of-freedom system using only the base or as a two-degree system of freedom system after connecting the TMD-IP to the sliding base. The CIDEPE air rail is used to provide the sliding base displacement, which will receive the TMD-IP. The acquisition of the response data in the time domain is done through the software CvMob, which performs image acquisition and was produced by the Nucleus of Technological Innovation in Rehabilitation - NITRE, Federal University of Bahia.

Abstract The inerter that is referred to as a two-terminal device that provides resisting forces proportional to the relative accelerations between its two terminals has been widely applied in vibration control due to its mass amplification effect. In this paper, a new inerter-based damper is proposed to take advantage of the inerter, which consists of a rack-pinion inerter in conjunction with a tuned rotational inertia damper. Unlike any other inerter-based dampers, the rotational inertia damper is connected to the pinion of the inerter via a rotational spring and damper. As a result, the weight of the damper can be significantly reduced. The proposed damper is applied to single-degree-of-freedom primary structures and a two-degree-of-freedom structure and the H2 optimization is conducted to obtain the optimum tuning ratio and damping ratio analytically. When comparing the proposed damper with its counterpart reported in the literature, the proposed damper achieves 20% to 70% improvement when their weights are identical.
