Optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 432))

Abstract

In this chapter, an introduction is presented for system dynamics and control. The main aim in the control of structures is to reduce vibrations and the vibration is defined then, the main concern of system dynamics and control such as control, automatic control, system, transfer function and control system types are given. Then, a short brief for structural control types such as active, passive, semi-active and hybrid are defined. Lastly, the content of the book “Optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers-Using Active and Passive Control” is presented.
