In reality, a pendulum structure can be used to model many real structures as a ropeway carrier, crane, balloon basket or ships in waves, etc, which often hung on moving points such as cables, wavefronts and balloons, etc. To the best knowledge of the author, however, there is no study to control oscillation of the pendulum structure excited by the hanging point. Therefore, this article deals with the oscillation control of the pendulum structure by using an inverted pendulum-type tuned mass damper, in which the system is subjected to the motion of the hanging point. In particular, the optimal parameters are determined in clear analytical solutions, making it easy for scientists to determine the optimal parameters to suppress the oscillation for the pendulum structure.
