Optimisation Design and Damping Effect Analysis of Large Mass Ratio Tuned Mass Dampers

الملخص EN

Under harmonic load and random stationary white noise load, the existing fitting formulas are not suitable for calculating the optimal parameters of large mass ratio tuned mass dampers (TMDs).

For this reason, the optimal parameters of large mass ratio TMDs are determined by numerical optimisation methods, and a revised fitting formula is proposed herein based on a curve fitting technique.

Finally, the dynamic time history analysis method is used to study the control effect of large mass ratio TMDs.

The results show that when the mass ratio is large, the error between the existing fitting formula and the actual optimal value is quite large, and the revised fitting formula is applicable to the parameter design of the traditional small mass ratio and large mass ratio (≤1) TMDs.

When the ratio of local base soil predominant frequency to structure vibration frequency is greater than 4, the optimal parameters of a TMD under white noise excitation can be calculated according to the revised fitting formula, and the remaining conditions should be determined by numerical optimisation.

In addition, a large mass ratio TMD reduces the dynamic response of the main structure effectively compared with a small mass ratio TMD and reduces the relative displacement between the TMD and main structure.
