  • Tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce dynamic responses of structures subjected to earthquake loads. A smart tuned mass damper (STMD) was proposed to increase control performance of a traditional passive TMD. A lot of research was conducted to investigate the control performance of a STMD based on analytical method. Experimental study of evaluation of control performance of a STMD was not widely conducted to date. Therefore, seismic response reduction capacity of a STMD was experimentally investigated in this study. For this purpose, a STMD was manufactured using an MR (magnetorheological) damper. A simple structure presenting dynamic characteristics of spacial roof structure was made as a test structure. A STMD was made to control vertical responses of the test structure. Two artificial ground motions and a resonance harmonic load were selected as experimental seismic excitations. Shaking table test was conducted to evaluate control performance of a STMD. Control algorithms are one of main factors affect control performance of a STMD. In this study, a groundhook algorithm that is a traditional semi-active control algorithm was selected. And fuzzy logic controller (FLC) was used to control a STMD. The FLC was optimized by multi-objective genetic algorithm. The experimental results presented that the TMD can effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures subjected to various excitations. It was also experimentally shown that the STMD can more effectively reduce seismic responses of the example structures conpared to the passive TMD.

  • The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is increasingly being used as an economical and effective vibration absorber. It consists of a water tank having the fundamental sloshing fluid frequency tuned to the natural frequency of the structure. In order to perform efficiently, the TLD must possess a certain amount of inherent damping. This can be achieved by placing screens inside the tank. The current study experimentally investigates the behaviour of a TLD equipped with damping screens. A series of shake table tests are conducted in order to assess the effect of the screens on the free surface motion, the base shear forces and the amount of energy dissipated. The variation of these parameters with the level of excitation is also studied. Finally, an amplitude dependent equivalent tuned mass damper (TMD), representing the TLD, is determined based on the experimental results. The dynamic characteristics of this equivalent TMD, in terms of mass, stiffness and damping parameters are determined by energy equivalence. The above parameters are expressed in terms of the base excitation amplitude. The parameters are compared to those obtained using linear small amplitude wave theory. The validity of this nonlinear model is examined in the companion paper.

  • The present parer outlines the system identification and vibration control performance of air traffic control tower of Yangyang international airport with tuned mass damper(TMD). From the free vibration test, natural frequency, damping ratio and mode shape of tower are obtained and these values are compared with the values from numerical analysis. In the vibration control test to evaluate the vibration control performance, equivalent damping ratio increased by tuned mass damper are obtained in case the TMD is operated as passive mode. Damping ratio of tower evaluated from free vibration test is about $1.0{\%}$. It is very low value than damping ratio recommended in general code. Damping ratio of passive mode is about $5{\%}$. These equivalent damping ratio increased by TMD is enough to enhance the serviceability of tower structure under wind load.

  • This study concerns the derivation of optimum tuning formulas for a passive Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) device, for the case of benchmark ideal excitations acting on a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped primary structure. The free TMD parameters are tuned first through a non-linear gradient-based optimisation algorithm, for the case of harmonic or white noise excitations, acting either as force on the SDOF primary structure or as base acceleration. The achieved optimum TMD parameters are successively interpolated according to appropriate analytical fitting proposals, by non-linear least squares, in order to produce simple and effective TMD tuning formulas. In particular, two fitting models are presented. The main proposal is composed of a simple polynomial relationship, refined within the fitting process, and constitutes the optimum choice. A second model refers to proper modifications of literature formulas for the case of an undamped primary structure. The results in terms of final (interpolated) optimum TMD parameters and of device effectiveness in reducing the structural dynamic response are finally displayed and discussed in detail, showing the wide and ready-to-use validity of the proposed optimisation procedure and achieved tuning formulas. Several post-tuning trials have been carried out as well on SDOF and MDOF shear-type frame buildings, by confirming the effective benefit provided by the proposed optimum TMD.

  • We propose an electrically self-reliant structural health monitoring (SHM) system that is able to wirelessly transmit sensing data using electrical power generated by vibration without the need for additional external power sources. The provision of reliable electricity to wireless SHM systems is a highly important issue that has often been ignored, and to expand the applicability of various wireless SHM innovations, it will be necessary to develop comprehensive wireless SHM devices including stable electricity sources. In light of this need, we propose a new, highly efficient vibration-powered generator based on a tuned-mass-damper (TMD) mechanism that is quite suitable for vibration-based SHM. The charging time of the TMD generator is shorter than that of conventional generators based on the impedance matching method, and the proposed TMD generator can harvest 16 times the amount of energy that a conventional generator can. The charging time of an SHM wireless transmitter is quantitatively formulated. We conduct wireless monitoring experiments to validate a wireless SHM system composed of a self-reliant SHM and a vibration-powered TMD generator.

  • 기존 동조질량감쇠기의 최적설계변수에 관한 연구는 풍하중과 같은 조화하중을 받는 구조물을 대상으로 연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통하여 지진하중이 작용하는 건축물에 설치되는 동조질량감쇠기의 최적 감쇠비와 동조진동수비를 구하였다. 지반특성을 단단한 지반, 연약지반, 단층 근처 지반으로 분류하고, 이들 지반특성을 고려한 수치해석을 통해 구한 동조질량감쇠기의 설계변수를 기존 연구 결과와 비교하였다. 수치해석결과 본 연구로부터 구해진 동조질량감쇠기의 설계변수값을 적용한 경우 지진하중에 의한 응답제어에 기존 연구를 통해 얻어진 변수값을 적용한 경우에 비해 더 나은 제어효과를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Recently, machine learning is widely used to solve optimization problems in various engineering fields. In this study, machine learning is applied to development of a control algorithm for a smart control device for reduction of seismic responses. For this purpose, Deep Q-network (DQN) out of reinforcement learning algorithms was employed to develop control algorithm. A single degree of freedom (SDOF) structure with a smart tuned mass damper (TMD) was used as an example structure. A smart TMD system was composed of MR (magnetorheological) damper instead of passive damper. Reward design of reinforcement learning mainly affects the control performance of the smart TMD. Various hyper-parameters were investigated to optimize the control performance of DQN-based control algorithm. Usually, decrease of the time step for numerical simulation is desirable to increase the accuracy of simulation results. However, the numerical simulation results presented that decrease of the time step for reward calculation might decrease the control performance of DQN-based control algorithm. Therefore, a proper time step for reward calculation should be selected in a DQN training process.

  • 최근 강재의 고강도화를 통한 부재 단면 사이즈의 절감은 종종 강성의 부족으로 이어져 과도한 처짐이나 진동문제를 야기한다. 따라서 적절한 설계나 예방을 통해 구조물의 바닥진동에 대한 보완이 필수적이다. 이러한 바닥진동 문제를 해결하기 위해 동조질량감쇠기가 종종 쓰이고 있다. 동조질량감쇠기는 바닥의 진동수에 대해 정확히 설계되었을 때에는 효율적으로 바닥진동을 제어할 수 있다. 하지만 바닥질량의 크기와 외부하중의 특성에 따라 바닥의 진동수가 수시로 변하는 경우에는 그 효율이 급격히 낮아질 가능성이 있다. 이러한 현상을 동조이탈이라고 한다. 본 연구는 실제 바닥에 가해지는 하중의 변화에 따라 바닥의 진동수가 달라지는 양상을 실험을 통해 고찰한다. 실험 바닥에 기존의 단일동조질량감쇠기를 적용하여 단일동조질량 감쇠기의 한계인 동조이탈현상을 확인한다. 또한, 바닥진동제어의 강건성을 확보하기 위해 진동수의 불확실성을 반영한 비대칭 동조질량감쇠기의 활용을 제안한다. TMD의 강건성이란 진동수가 변화하는 상황에서 바닥진동제어 성능이 얼마나 지속되느냐를 뜻한다. 제안된 비대칭 TMD는 두 개의 비대칭 강성을 가지고 있기 때문에 병진운동과 회전운동을 하면서 진동에너지를 소산한다. 제안된 비대칭TMD의 최적화 결과, 비대칭TMD는 기존 STMD에 비해 28%이상의 진동제어성능을 확보하였으며, 외부의 환경 변화에 대한 강건성은 약 1.4배 개선되었다.

  • This study presents the performance evaluation of a tuned mass damper (TMD) for controlling seismic responses of the nonlinear hysteretic structure represented by a Bouc-Wen model, considering that the general reinforce concrete building structures subject to earthquake load show nonlinear hysteretic behavior. Numerical analysis result indicates that the performance of a passive TMD of which design parameters are optimized for a elastic structure deteriorates when the hysteretic portion of the structural responses increases, while a semi-actively operated TMD shows about 15-40% more response reduction than the TMD.

  • The most common used control device on tall buildings and high-rise structures is active and passive tuned mass damper (ATMD and TMD). The major advantages of ATMD and TMD are discussed. The existing installations of various passive/active control devices on real structures are listed. A set of parameter optimization methods is proposed to determine optimal parameters of passive tuned mass dampers under wind excitation. Simplified formulas for determining the optimal parameters are proposed so that the design of a TMD can be carried out easily. Optimal design of wind-induced vibration control of frame structures is investigated. A thirty-story tall building is used as an example to demonstrate the procedure and to verify the efficiency of ATMD and TMD with the optimal parameters.
