What is tuned mass damper: Definition and 1 Discussions
A tuned mass damper (TMD), also known as a harmonic absorber or seismic damper, is a device mounted in structures to reduce mechanical vibrations, consisting of a mass mounted on one or more damped springs. Its oscillation frequency is tuned to be similar to the resonant frequency of the object it is mounted to, and reduces the object's maximum amplitude while weighing much less than it.
TMDs can prevent discomfort, damage, or outright structural failure. They are frequently used in power transmission, automobiles and buildings.
Hello everyone,
I have a simple question. Lets say a single degree of freedom system (SDOF) which consists of a spring and a mass is excited by an external force. The SDOF system has the eigenfrequency of 0.31 Hz and the external force is a periodic force with the frequency of 0.6 Hz. After...
