Optimizing Tuned Mass Damper by Examining Displacement Ratios with and Without TMD System

That control systems have been used worldwide is explained herein; moreover, Tuned Mass Damper optimization is conducted using displacement with and without TMD according to FEMA far-fault data (FEMA P-695, Quantification of Building Seismic Performance Factors. Washington) which consists of destructive earthquake records throughout the time. This record includes 44 different earthquakes observed in various areas in the world. Choosing objective function as the ratio of TMD’s displacement over without TMD’s displacement allows us to reach more appropriate results of TMD system due to the usage of every earthquake records’ ratio. What is more, in order to delineate as well as elucidate the results of this study, different studies’ displacement results and the ratio of differences between control system usage and no control system usage are taken into consideration.
