Hybrid tracking controller with attached tuned mass damper

Ali BOZER

The optimization of tuned mass damper (TMD) involves the attachment of a damper to a TMD unit. Although thissupplementary damping renders TMD to be operational under broad bandwidth inputs (i.e., wind excitation), italso considerably decreases the efficiency. In this paper, an alternative approach is suggested to eliminate therequirement for supplementary damping, hence to utilize TMD in full efficiency. For this purpose, combinedstructure/undamped TMD system is equipped with an active controller to track the response of an oscillatorwith natural frequency set to the operating frequency of the ...Daha fazlası
