Evaluation of effects of hysteretic damping of shape memory alloys on seismic performance of tuned mass damper [PDF]
Tuned mass damper is a common tool in passive control, which is used in many structures. However, with all the proper features, its most important functional limitation is the weakness against broad band excitation.

Effective Mass of Tuned Mass Dampers [PDF]
Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are widely used for the control and mitigation of vibrations in engineering structures, including buildings, towers, bridges and wind turbines. The traditional representation of a TMD is a point mass connected to the structure by a spring and a dashpot.

A Hybrid Damper with Tunable Particle Impact Damping and Coulomb Friction
A particle impact damper (PID) dissipates the vibration energy of a structure through impacts within the damper. The PID is not commonly used in practice mainly because of its low damping-to-mass ratio and the difficulty in achieving its optimal design ...

Characteristics of the asymmetric Stockbridge damper [PDF]
The Stockbridge damper (tuned mass absorber) is used on overhead transmission power lines to suppress wind-induced vibrations. These power lines get exposed to various types of wind motions that cause them to vibrate and this causes fatigue failure at ...
