Research developments in vibration control of structures using passive tuned mass dampers

TL;DR: The review clearly demonstrates that the TMDs have a potential for improving the wind and seismic behaviors of prototype civil structures and shows that the MTMDs and d-MTMDs are relatively more effective and robust, as reported.

Optimum tuned-mass dampers for minimizing steady-state response of support-excited and damped systems

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical searching procedure to find the optimum tuning frequency and damping ratio of the tuned-mass damper which can reduce the steady-state response of damped main systems to a minimum level is developed and applied to the two different harmonic excitation sources, support motion of fixed-displacement amplitude and fixed-acceleration amplitude.

Auxiliary mass throw in a tuned and damped vibration absorber

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if the system is tuned and optimally damped to control the amplitudes of vibration of the primary mass over the whole range of exciting frequencies, the maximum steady state throw of the auxiliary mass can be easily calculated from the formulas given.

Frequency locus constructions for the bounce and roll motions of a simple trailer

TL;DR: In this article, a two-wheeled trailer with a swing-axle suspension exhibits steady-state bounce and roll motions when excited periodically by vertical inputs at the wheels, and Graphical constructions are presented for the determination of the frequency response amplitudes of the body support points, and the effect of roll stiffness on roll amplitudes.
