Abstract EN
Passive energy devices are well known due to their performance for vibration control in buildings subjected to dynamic excitations.
Tuned mass damper (TMD) is one of the oldest passive devices, and it has been very much used for vibration control in buildings around the world.
However, the best parameters in terms of stiffness and damping and the best position of the TMD to be installed in the structure are an area that has been studied in recent years, seeking optimal designs of such device for attenuation of structural dynamic response.
Thus, in this work, a new methodology for simultaneous optimization of parameters and positions of multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) in buildings subjected to earthquakes is proposed.
It is important to highlight that the proposed optimization methodology considers uncertainties present in the structural parameters, in the dynamic load, and also in the MTMD design with the aim of obtaining a robust design; that is, a MTMD design that is not sensitive to the variations of the parameters involved in the dynamic behavior of the structure.
For illustration purposes, the proposed methodology is applied in a 10-story building, confirming its effectiveness.
Thus, it is believed that the proposed methodology can be used as a promising tool for MTMD design.
