Abstract
This paper investigates the multiple tuned liquid dampers (MTLD), which consist of a number of MTLD whose first natural frequencies of sloshing are distributed over a certain range around the natural frequency of a structure. The liquid motion in the MTLD as well as the MTLD-structure interaction are numerically simulated using a shallow water-wave theory. An optimal procedure based on Taguchi method is proposed to determine the optimum parameters of MTLD to suppress the vibration amplitude of the considered structure. A number of numerical tests are included to demonstrate and verify the effectiveness of the proposed procedure.
