A semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) which is capable of adjusting initial displacement and damping is applied to seismic protection of structures. Control algorithms are derived in closed forms using perturbation analysis on modal properties of the sinigle degree of freedom (SDOF) structure/TMD sy

β¦ Synopsis
Uncertainties in the main structure dynamic properties as well as those in the characteristics of the excitation may cause a deterioration of the performance of Tuned Mass Dampers. This may happen because the choice of tuning and damping ratio of the auxiliary system, based on the expected values of the dynamic properties of the main structure and on a simple excitation pattern, may prove away from the optimum. An empirical algorithm is presented in this paper which allows the performance of the TMD to be optimised, based on the measured response. The algorithm relies on two assumptions: the smoothness of the spectrum of excitation and the availability of an estimate of the dynamic properties of the main structure. As an example the algorithm is applied to a 64-story building subjected to turbulence buffeting.

## Abstract Optimal displacement feedback control law is derived for a vibration control of a singleβdegreeβofβfreedom structure with an active tuned mass damper (ATMD). Analytical expressions of the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) feedback gains for the ATMD are derived by solving the Ricatti equ
Various systems for controlling the vibrations of tall buildings subjected to earthquakes or strong winds have been developed and applied over the past few years. This paper is concerned with the use of a composite active-passive tuned mass damper (APTMD) system for the vibration control of a single
A stochastic optimal semi-active control strategy for randomly excited systems using electrorheological/magnetorheological (ER/MR) dampers is proposed. A system excited by random loading and controlled by using ER/MR dampers is modelled as a controlled, stochastically excited and dissipated Hamilton
