Abstract
In this chapter, a review of the optimum design of passive and active tuned mass dampers for structures is presented. Metaheuristics have been often used in the optimum design of tuned mass dampers. As an example, an improved harmony search algorithm is presented for the optimum design of active tuned mass dampers (ATMDs) using proportional integral derivative type controllers. The ATMD was also compared via passive tuned mass damper (TMD) and the optimum design results are presented for a 10-story structure with multiple cases of the time delay of the controller and stroke capacity of ATMD. ATMD is better than TMD in the reduction of displacements up to 32.01%.
