โฆ Synopsis
The paper introduces a synthetic optimization analysis method of structures with viscoelastic (VE) dampers, namely the simplex method. The optimal parameters and location of VE dampers can be determined by this method. Numerical example and a shaking table test about reinforced concrete structures with VE dampers show that the seismic responses of structures will be reduced more effectively when the parameters and location of VE dampers are designed in accordance with the results calculated by the simplex method.

A hybrid optimization algorithm is developed to minimize the control energy and the structural weight under the constraints of the structural dynamic property requirements. A 72-bar space truss with two piezoelectric actuators is used to illustrate the complete process of this algorithm. It is shown
