A double-layer tuned mass damper (DTMD) has advantages of wide damping frequency band and strong robustness. At present, there is a lack of seismic design methods for high-rise structures based on DTMDs. In this study, a DTMD parameter optimisation method was proposed, with the objective of minimising the peak displacement response of a first N-order vibration modal with a vibration mass participation factor of 85%. Then, a scale model of a high-rise structure was fabricated, along with a corresponding DTMD. Different types of excitations were chosen to clarify the dynamic responses of the model with and without the DTMD, including Site-II ground motions, long-period (LP) ground motions without pulses, and near-fault pulse-type (NFPT) ground motions. The results indicate that the dynamic responses of high-rise structures under LP and NFPT ground motions are much greater than those under Site-II ground motions. The DTMD can effectively reduce the absolute displacement response, acceleration response, and strain response at the top floor of the test model. However, the DTMD has a time delay in providing the damping effect. A smaller damping ratio between the upper TMD and the controlled structure will lead to a more significant damping effect for the DTMD.

Comfort Criteria

As the need of the train speed increased, the existing bridges need to be evaluated, especially in dynamic responses, which are deformation and acceleration. In this study, Cisomang Bridge is modeled and analyzed due to the high-speed train SJ X2 in varying speeds, 50 km/h, 100 km/h, 150 km/h, and 200 km/h. The used of tuned mass damper also will be varied on its setting and placing. The tuned mass dampers setting be varied based on the first or second natural frequency and the placing of tuned mass damper be varied based on maximum deformation of the first or second mode. Moreover, the tuned mass damper ratio will be varied 1% and 1.6%. For all speed variations, dynamic responses of structure without TMD still fulfil the Indonesian Government Criterion based on PM 60 - 2012 but do not meet requirement of comfort criteria based on DIN-Fachbericht 101. Furthermore, only for the speed train 50km/h dynamic responses of structure fulfil safety criteria based on Eurocode EN 1990:2002, whereas the other speed variations do not meet that requirement. In the use of TMD 1% mass ratio, the structure fulfils the safety criteria for all speed variations. In the use of TMD 1.6% mass ratio, all the structure fulfils the safety and comfort criteria except 100 km/h speed which only fulfils the safety criteria.

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.

Particle Damping

Particle damping has the promising potential for attenuating the unwanted vibrations in harsh environment. However, the damping performance of the conventional particle damper (PD) may be ineffective, especially when the acceleration of the particle damper is less than gravitational acceleration (1g). In order to improve the damping performance of the traditional PD, the tuned mass particle damper (TMPD) which utilizes the advantages of both the tuned mass damper and particle damper is investigated in this paper. The TMPD can act as the tuned mass damper to not only absorb the vibration of the primary structure but also amplify the motions of the particles in the enclosure, which will significantly enhance the particle damping effect. To analyze the damping effect of the TMPD, a new coupling method to integrate the TMPD into the continuous host structure is first developed. The 3D discrete element method is then adopted to accurately describe and analyze the motion of particles in the enclosure. Furthermore, the analysis is validated by correlating the numerical and experimental results. With the new method as basis, detailed numerical studies are further carried out to verify the damping effectiveness of the TMPD compared with conventional PD under various excitation levels. The results demonstrate that the TMPD can significantly improve the damping effect of the conventional PD on suppressing the vibration of the primary structure under both the low and high excitation levels.

Damper Design

In engineering applications, many control devices have been developed to reduce the vibrations of structures. Active tuned mass damper system is one of these devices, which is a combination of a passive tuned mass damper system and an actuator to produce a control force. The main objective of this paper is to present a practical procedure for both deterministic and probabilistic design of the active tuned mass damper control system using multi-objective genetic algorithms to mitigate high-rise building responses. For this purpose, extensive numerical analyses have been performed, and optimal robust results of the active tuned mass damper design parameters with their effectiveness in reducing the example building responses have been presented. Uncertainties, which may exist in the system, have been taken into account using a robust design optimization procedure. The stiffness matrix and damping ratio of the building are considered as uncertain random variables; and using the well-known beta distribution, 50 pairs of these variables are generated. This resulted in 50 buildings with different stiffness matrices and damping ratios. These simulated buildings are used to evaluate robust optimal values of the active tuned mass damper design parameters. Four non-commensurable objective functions, namely maximum displacement, maximum velocity, maximum acceleration of each floor of the building, and active control force produced by the actuator are considered, and a fast and elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm approach is used to find a set of pareto-optimal solutions.

Damping Materials

Particle damping has the promising potential for attenuating unwanted vibrations in harsh environments especially under high temperatures where conventional damping materials would not be functional. Nevertheless, a limitation of simple particle damper (PD) configuration is that the damping effect is insignificant if the local displacement/acceleration is low. In this research, we investigate the performance of a tuned mass particle damper (TMPD) in which the particle damping mechanism is integrated into a tuned mass damper (TMD) configuration. The essential idea is to combine the respective advantages of these two damping concepts and in particular to utilize the tuned mass damper configuration as a motion magnifier to amplify the energy dissipation capability of particle damper when the local displacement/acceleration of the host structure is low. We formulate a first-principle-based dynamic model of the integrated system and analyze the particle motion by using the discrete element method (DEM). We perform systematic parametric studies to elucidate the damping effect and energy dissipation mechanism of a TMPD. We demonstrate that a TMPD can provide significant vibration suppression capability, essentially outperforming conventional particle damper.
