Abstract

In this chapter, the principles of TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) are explained. Selection of structural parameters of TMD is discussed based on Den Hartog’s optimum theory for a simplified 2-DOF (degree-of-freedom) system. Design procedure of TMD for implementation to structures is also introduced. Discussions are extended to TLD (Tuned Liquid Damper). Shaking-table tests of TLD for flexible structures at Kyoto University are also introduced.
