Structural control of a sdoff frame with non-linear hysteric behavior using a tuned a mass damper. In IRF2018: 6th International Conference Integrity-Reliability-Failure. Lisbon, Portugal. p. 1247-1270978-989-20-8313-1http://hdl.handle.net/10198/22603This paper presents a parametric study on the control parameters of a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) to reduce the seismic response of a simple framed structure with non-linear hysteretic behavior. A numerical model was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to obtain the structural response and evaluate the contribution of each control parameter to the system. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the appropriate definition of some control parameters are crucial to reach rapidly and consistently the optimal TMD performance.engStructural controlPassive systemsTuned mass dampers (TMD)conference paper
