  Effect of earthquake frequency content on seismic-induced vibration control of structures equipped with tuned mass damper

  Araz, Onur; Cakir, Tufan; Ozturk, Kasif Furkan

  The main goal of this paper is to investigate the influence of the earthquake frequency content on the optimization of tuned mass damper (TMD) for multi-story buildings. Earthquake frequency content is divided into three groups (i.e., low, intermediate and high frequency content) according to the ratio of peak ground acceleration to the peak ground velocities. Time-domain analyses are performed to obtain the dynamic responses of 10-story and 40-story shear buildings equipped with a TMD under twelve different earthquake records. Advanced firefly algorithm is used to obtain the optimum parameters of the TMD such as the frequency ratio and the damping ratio. The optimization criterion is selected as the minimization of the maximum top story displacement of the building with TMD. The optimum parameters of TMD designed by this paper and its control performance are compared with those of other previous works available in the literature. Compared to the other methods, the optimum TMD designed by this study especially performs better in reducing the maximum top story displacements. Furthermore, it is discussed why TMD is ineffective in reducing the maximum floor accelerations of 40-story building, and then the effect of different mass ratios and objective functions in reducing the maximum responses of both buildings under critical earthquake excitation is investigated in detail. The results also show that the frequency content of earthquake ground motions has a significant effect on the optimum parameters of TMD and its control performance.

  Optimization of three-element tuned mass damper based on minimization of the acceleration transfer function for seismically excited structures

  Araz, Onur

  The three-element tuned mass damper (T-TMD) is an effective passive control device for single-degree of freedom structures due to harmonic external force. Unlike previous studies, this study aims at proposing a methodology for optimization of T-TMD positioned at the top floor of multi-degree of freedom structures under seismic loads. The equations of motion for a multi-story building controlled by a T-TMD are derived, and the T-TMD is then optimized using an advanced firefly algorithm (AFA) in the frequency domain. The aim of the optimization is to minimize the amplitude of the acceleration transfer function of the top floor of the building. The proposed methodology is implemented in two different shear buildings, and the optimum parameters are then verified by using benchmark earthquakes with different frequency components. The comparisons with the available works illustrate the availability of the AFA. The effect of the mass ratio on the optimum parameters of the T-TMD is also discussed in detail. Numerical results show that the use of the optimum T-TMD is an effective strategy to minimize the maximum structural responses of the multi-story buildings under seismic excitations. In particular, the optimum T-TMD is very effective when the maximum story responses (i.e., displacement and acceleration) occur at the top floor of the building.
