Tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs) have an extensive usage as an effective vibration absorber to enhance the structure response under the effect of seismic or wind loads. In this study, parameter optimization of nonlinear model of a TLCD in frequency domain under harmonic excitation is proposed in order to improve performance of TLCDs. The non-linearity in the model is due to the head-loss caused by the orifice resulting in velocity squared damping. A 6-story building with a TLCD is considered as a case study. Describing Function Method (DFM) is used to model the nonlinear effects in frequency domain which results in a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The resulting set of nonlinear equations is solved by Newton’s method utilizing Homotopy Continuation. The effect of change of TLCD parameters (cross-sectional area, head loss coefficient, total length, horizontal length) on the overall system response is investigated through the developed non-linear model. TLCD parameters are optimized utilizing genetic algorithm and gradient descent optimization methods. Response of the optimized and non-optimized models is compared in frequency domain. The linear and non-linear models are also compared and the necessity of introducing non-linearity to the frequency domain model is addressed.

Vibration reduction of structures by using nonlinear tuned vibration absorbers
Doğan, Muhammed Emin; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2019)
Tuned Vibration Absorbers (TVA) are commonly used in reducing undesirable vibrations of mechanical structures. However, TVAs work in a very limited frequency range and if the excitation frequency is outside of this range, they become ineffective. In order to solve this problem, researchers started to consider nonlinear TVAs for vibration attenuation. In this study, dynamic behavior of a Linear systems coupled with a nonlinear TVA is investigated. The system is subjected to sinusoidal base excitation. Parame...
Vibration reduction by using two tuned mass dampers with dry friction damping
Doğan, Muhammed Emin; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (null; 2019-02-20)
Vibration reduction of a single-degree-of-freedom system connected to two tuned mass dampers (TMDs) equipped with dry friction dampers is considered in this work. The system is subjected to sinusoidal base excitation. Parameters of TMDs are optimized to minimize the peak values of the response of the primary system. Harmonic balance method (HBM) is used to obtain the steady state solution of the three-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear system in frequency domain. Newton’s method with arc length continuation is ut...
Frequency domain optimization of dry friction dampers used for earthquake vibration damping of buildings
Erişen, Zühtü Eren; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012)
There are many active and passive vibration control techniques to reduce the effect of energy on structures which emerges during an earthquake and reduce the displacement of buildings that is caused by ground acceleration. Main advantage of passive vibration control techniques over active vibration control techniques is; no external power or a sensor is required for passive vibration control devices (PVCDs) and it results in lower installation and maintenance costs. However, PVCDs require a predefined optim...

Tuned Vibration Absorbers (TVA) are commonly used in reducing undesirable vibrations of mechanical structures. However, TVAs work in a very limited frequency range and if the excitation frequency is outside of this range, they become ineffective.

Seismic performance of chevron braced steel frames with and without viscous fluid dampers as a function of ground motion and damper characteristics
Dicleli, Murat (Elsevier BV, 2007-08-01)
This study is aimed at comparing the seismic performance of steel chevron braced frames (CBFs) with and without viscous fluid dampers (VFDs) as a function of the intensity and frequency characteristics of the ground motion and VFD parameters. For this purpose, comparative nonlinear time history (NLTH) analyses of single and multiple story CBFs with and without VFDs are conducted using ground motions with various frequency characteristics scaled to represent small, moderate and large intensity earthquakes. A...
