The vibration control performance and its influencing factors of a tuned mass damper and a particle damper are examined by a single degree of freedom structure with such devices. The vibration control effects between these two dampers are also investigated. Increasing the mass ratio of the damper can improve the damping effects; under the condition of tuning frequency, the damping effects are remarkable. However, the more the deviation from the tuned frequency, the less controlling effects can be obtained. The damping effect of a particle damper is generally better than that of a tuned mass damper. For this test model, the particle damper can improve primary structure’s equivalent damping ratio 19 times to the original one’s, while the tuned mass damper can be 13 times. The reason lies in the fact that the particle damper can dissipate input energy by tuning mass, collision, impact, and friction between particles and the container and the momentum exchange effects between the secondary damper mass and the primary structure.

To realize structural vibration control,a two parameters H2 optimization design was proposed to optimize the tuning ratio and damping ratio for electromagnetic tuned mass damper (EMTMD). The control effect of this two parameters optimization design is better than that of classical tuned mass damper (TMD).For this two parameters optimization,the most important thing is that the inductance of the coil can be set very small and the external load resistance can be positive ,which can avoid the use of complex negative impedance circuit. If Ref.[6] were designed according to the H2 optimization of two parameters, the EMTMD can be used for multi-modal vibration control of structures without connecting negative inductance and negative resistance spontaneously.

The optimum parameters of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) for suppressing the dynamic response of a base-excited damped main system are investigated by a numerical searching technique. The criterion selected for the optimality is the minimization of the steady state displacement of the main system under harmonic base acceleration. The parameters of the MTMD that are optimized include: the damping ratio, the tuning frequency ratio and the frequency bandwidth. The optimum parameters of the MTMD system and corresponding displacement are obtained for different damping ratios of the main system and different mass ratios of the MTMD system. The explicit formulas for the optimum parameters of the MTMD (i.e. damping ratio, bandwidth and tuning frequency) are then derived using a curve-fitting scheme that can readily be used in engineering applications. The error in the proposed explicit expressions is investigated and found to be negligible. The effectiveness of the optimally designed MTMD system is also compared with that of the optimum single tuned mass damper. It is observed that the optimally designed MTMD system is more effective for vibration control than the single tuned mass damper. Further, the damping in the main system significantly influences the optimum parameters and the effectiveness of the MTMD system.

AbstractSince a long-term oscillation of a tuned mass damper (or TMD) in vibration control may impair the spring stiffness of the TMD, this phenomenon will directly down-tune the target frequency of the TMD. For this reason, this study intends to present a string-type tuned mass damper (or STMD) with an adjustable tuning frequency to mitigate the resonant response of a simple beam due to moving loads. The STMD device is installed inside the inner room of a bridge box girder and is composed of a distributed spring-dashpot-mass with a stretched string. Considering a linear beam-STMD model, a generalized two-degrees-of-freedom system is employed to determine the optimum tuning frequency condition and parameters of the STMD in vibration control. Compared with a traditional TMD device, the proposed STMD has the advantage of being adjustable in tuning frequency. From the numerical examples, the results indicate that the proposed STMD is a potential vibration control device in suppressing the train-induced vibration of railway bridges. Even though the tuning frequency of the STMD down-deviate from the target one by 10%, the control effectiveness of such a detuning STMD can still achieve about 90% as that of an optimal STMD by tuning its frequency to fit the optimum tuning frequency condition presented in this study.

In this paper, an analytical method is presented to determine the optimal parameters of the symmetric tuned mass damper, such as the ratio between natural frequency of tuned mass damper and shaft (tuning ratio) and the ratio of the viscous coefficient of tuned mass damper (damping ratio). The optimal parameters of tuned mass damper are applied to reduce the torsional vibration of the shaft based on consideration of the vibration duration and stability criterion. The dynamic equations of the shaft are provided via Lagrangian equations, and the optimal parameters of tuned mass damper are derived by using the principle of minimum kinetic energy. Analytical and numerical examples are implemented to verify the reliability of the proposed method. The analytical and numerical results indicate that the optimal parameters of tuned mass damper have significant effects in the torsional vibration reduction of the shaft.
