Abstract Damped outrigger system is effective for improving energy dissipation tall buildings. However, conventional damped (CDO) with viscous damping has two limitations: (i) its maximum ratio cannot be improved when outrigger/column stiffness inadequate; (ii) different modes achieve their ratios at values, and thus the dampers optimized to simultaneously reduce vibrations of multiple concern minimum. In this paper, a purely frequency‐independent negative (FI‐NSDO) proposed by combining damper (FID) device (NSD). The FID can all as compared frequency‐dependent like damper. As NSD features assisting enhancing motion frequency‐independence, utilization will considerably improve inadequate maintain feature whole system. Therefore, FI‐NSDO capability increasing target values. Analysis in frequency domain time domain, demonstrate that performs better controlling multi‐mode vibration seismic responses.

Abstract To reduce structural responses under earthquake excitations effectively and improve their resilience, a smart structure with semiactive tuned mass damper (STMD) on the top story adjustable stiffness device (SASD) first which contributes to adaptive property is developed in this study. The SASD consists of diamond spring composed four linear springs an electromagnetic actuator, can change angle therefore retune stiffness. Two typical STMDs previously are reviewed first, device‐based STMD variable damping pendulum‐type frequency eddy current damping, respectively. Numerical results show that proposed has better control performance than passive‐tuned or acting independently. enhance seismic protection further, based principle base isolation, applied story. quadratic Gaussian‐based algorithm for proposed. A 10‐story building presented as case range discussed detail, while it found ±50% achieves best mitigation. Control effects different numbers implemented along height compared well. increase number SASDs, mitigation effect better; however, magnitude decreasing. combined excellent Meanwhile, combination similar SASDs installed from fourth story, respectively, additional electromechanical systems influence use function building.

High-rise structures and large-span bridges have low vibration frequencies intrinsic damping hence are subjected to multimode vibrations under environmental excitation. Supplementing is a viable means suppress such vibrations. The amount of supplemental nevertheless limited as the devices in practice can only be attached structure at positions while displacements or relative small. Introducing negative stiffness, passively by stiffness (NSDs) inerters, device an effective enhancement approach. This study focuses on effects dampers enhanced NSDs inerters for flexible structures, with emphasis frequency-independence (NSDs)/dependence (inerters) introduced stiffness. Tall buildings/bridges outrigger systems incorporating (NSDOs) (IDOs) taken examples demonstration response mitigation performance. First, principle equal modal applied tuning IDOs achieve maximal target mode.

It is known that the performance of traditional passive tuned mass dampers (TMDs) highly sensitive to vibration frequency. The fundamental frequency existing tall buildings may shift lower value due damage or other reasons. In this regard, paper deals with resultant detuning problems a TMD for control by retrofitting it adaptive negative stiffness device (NSD). applied NSD not only provides adjusting TMD's de-tuned at its working stage, but also offers fail-safe limiting stop large deformation/stroke. study, compared original TMD, novel TMD-NSD assembly proposed shown be more effective serviced structures. For example, can provide about 2.83% additional damping ratio frequency-changed structures, while newly further improves 5.34%. Moreover, in study found outperforms resisting dynamic lateral loading such as along winds, cross and earthquakes.
