Abstract:To improve the frequency sensitivity of a single tuned mass damper (STMD) and solve the accuracy problem of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD) in determining suitable installation location and effective number of tuned mass dampers (TMDs), this paper combines the construction characteristics of the rocking structures and the damping principle of TMDs to form a new type of MTMD, i.e., rocking wall tuned mass dampers (RW-TMDs). To verify the effectiveness of RW-TMDs, Finite element analyses were conducted to sys… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
