Abstract
This chapter is concerned by tuned-mass damping systems. We start with an introductory example of a tuned-mass damper (TMD) design and a brief description of some of the implementations of TMDs in building structures. A rigorous theory of TMDs for single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems subjected to harmonic force excitation and harmonic ground motion is discussed next. Various cases including a damped TMD attached to an undamped SDOF system, and a damped TMD attached to a damped SDOF system are considered. Time history responses for a range of SDOF systems connected to optimally tuned TMD and subjected to harmonic and seismic excitations are presented. The theory is then extended to multi-degree-of-freedoms systems where the TMD is used to dampen out the vibrations of a specific mode. Lastly, a theory for tuned liquid column dampers is presented and design procedures are suggested.
