“…The popularity of a TMD stems from its efficiency, reliability and ease of incorporation in the primary system without requirements of any considerable system modifications. Various forms of robust TMDs are evolving day-to-day encountering a wide range of structural applications such as TMD inerter (Marian and Giaralis, 2014), pounding TMD (Wang et al, 2017), viscoelastic TMD (Dai et al, 2019), frictional TMD (Jiang et al, 2019) and TMD with large mass ratio (Angelis et al, 2012). In its traditional passive form, a TMD is basically a linear spring–mass–dashpot vibration absorber system in different configurations such as a sliding mass block, a simple pendulum or its various other arrangements (Debnath et al, 2016; Gewei and Basu, 2010; Li et al, 2010; Saaed et al, 2015; Zhao-Dong et al, 2020; Zuo, 2009).…”
