Abstract
A new semi-active tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) that uses magnetic fluid as its working fluid (MF-TLCD) is presented. An MF-TLCD alters the natural frequency of the magnetic fluid column that forms the resident liquid inside the MF-TLCD by applying a magnetic field. We investigated the damping characteristics of an MF-TLCD equipped with two electromagnets, and also the transition of the natural frequency, which is strongly related to the damping performance. The coupled structure-MF-TLCD system was investigated both experimentally and by numerical analysis. The momentum equation of an MF-TLCD and its numerical solution are presented. The numerical results are validated by comparison with experimental results.
