To date, considerable attention has been paid to the development of structural vibration suppression techniques. Among all vibration suppression devices and techniques, the tuned mass damper is one of the most promising technologies due to its mechanical simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliable operation. In this article, a critical review of the structural vibration suppression using tuned mass damper technology will be presented mainly focused on the following four categories: (1) tuned mass damper technology and its modifications, (2) tuned mass damper technology in discrete and continuous structures (mathematical modeling), (3) optimization procedure to obtain the optimally designed tuned mass damper system, and (4) active tuned mass damper and semi-active tuned mass damper with the practical realization of the tuned mass damper technologies.

A structural vibration control concept, using piezoelectric materials shunted with real-time adaptable electrical networks, has been investigated. The variable resistance and inductance in an external RL circuit are used as control inputs. An energy-based parametric control scheme is created to reduce the total system energy (the main structure mechanical energy plus the electrical and mechanical energies of the piezoelectric material and electrical circuit) while minimizing the energy flowing into the main structure. Stability of the closed-loop system is proved. The performance of the controller is examined through analyzing a beam example. It is shown that the structure energy level and vibration amplitude can be suppressed effectively.
