Novel fluid inerter based tuned mass dampers for optimised structural control of base-isolated buildings
TL;DR: The optimal fluid inerter parameters, namely inertance and damping, are identified numerically by minimising stochastic performance indices relevant to displacement, acceleration, and energy-based measures of the structural response.

Soil-dependent optimum design of a new passive vibration control system combining seismic base isolation with tuned inerter damper
TL;DR: In this article, a novel passive vibration control system combining seismic base isolation with a tuned inerter damper (TID) system was proposed, in which the physical mass of the TMD is partly or entirely replaced by an apparent mass, also called inertance, created by a particular arrangement of mechanical gearings.

Load mitigation for a barge-type floating offshore wind turbine via inerter-based passive structural control
TL;DR: Numerical simulations of the application of inerter to a barge-type floating offshore wind turbine for the purpose of mitigating loads of the wind turbine structures induced by wind and wave show that the overall performance can be improved, except the tower-top fore-aft load and the TMD working space.

Synthesis of mechanical networks: the inerter
TL;DR: The main contributions of the paper are the introduction of a device, which win be called the inerter, which is the true network dual of the spring, which contrasts with the mass element which, by definition, always has one terminal connected to ground.

Evaluation of seismic energy in structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used two types of energy equations to study single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems subject to earthquake induced ground motions, one using an absolute energy formulation and the other using a relative energy formulation.

Using an inerter-based device for structural vibration suppression
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of a novel type of passive vibration control system to reduce vibrations in civil engineering structures subject to base excitation, based on the inerter, a device that was initially developed for high-performance suspensions in Formula 1 racing cars.

Seismic control of single-degree-of-freedom structure using tuned viscous mass damper
TL;DR: In this article, a tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) was proposed for building systems, which uses a ball-screw mechanism to amplify an apparent mass amplifier using a fixed number of dampers.
