Abstract

Tension-stabilized structures are very useful for building large and light space/ground structures at a low cost. However it is difficult to apply a transverse damping force to such a structure. This paper describes new way to damp these structures with a tuned mass damper (TMD). It proposes a tuning method to find the optimal placementes, masses, stiffnesses, and damping coefficients of one or several TMDs attached to a cable.
