Modeling and optimization of multiple tuned mass dampers for a barge-type floating offshore wind turbine [PDF]
Significant structural responses pose potential hazards to the safe operation of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). To effectively mitigate the motion of FOWTs using conventional passive vibration control methods such as tuned mass damper (TMD) and
