Seismic Protection of Structures Using Tuned Mass Dampers with Resettable Variable Stiffness

Abstract:

Vibration control of civil engineering structures using tuned mass dampers (TMD) is a widely accepted control strategy after numerous analytical and experimental verifications. Although the design and application of traditional linear TMD systems are well developed, nonlinear TMD systems that may lead to better control performance are still in the developmental stage. There are two main problems associated with TMD systems, i.e. (1) detuning effect and (2) excessive stroke of TMD. In order to improve the performance of TMD systems, a novel semi-active TMD named resettable variable stiffness TMD (RVS-TMD) is proposed in this study. The RVS-TMD consists of a TMD and a resettable variable stiffness device (RVSD). The RVSD is composed of a resettable element and a controllable stiffness element. By varying the stiffness element of the RVSD, the force produced by the RVSD can be controlled smoothly through a semi-active control law. By resetting the resettable element, the hysteresis loop of the RVSD can cover all four quadrants in the force-deformation diagram and thus results in more energy dissipation. The harmonic and seismic responses of a building equipped with the RVS-TMD are investigated numerically and compared with those by its active control counterpart and an optimal passive TMD system. The results show that the proposed RVS-TMD system has good control performances as its active control counterpart and is able to alleviate detuning effect and reduce TMD’s stroke.
