Optimal configurations of composite multiple mass dampers in tall buildings

Abstract

The effectiveness of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD)

Passive, semi-active, active and hybrid mass dampers: A literature review with associated applications on building-like structures

“…In all scenarios the feasibility of the method was shown. Avila and Gonçalves (2009) investigated the influence of the masses of MTMDs on the main system dynamic performance using four different arrangements of double mass dampers. By using a minimax procedure, the authors showed that small variations on MTMD parameters and the way that the masses are connected have an influence on the response of the main structure.…”
