A new structural system conceived to control Base Isolated System vibrations under random excitations is analyzed. The new system combines the Tuned Mass Damping strategy with the Isolation concept in order to obtain a new system which principally attenuates the effects of the seismic excitation components with frequencies close to the fundamental natural vibration one. The Random response of equivalent linear Base Isolated Systems controlled by Tuned Mass Dampers subject to horizontal random excitations is analyzed. Considering the superstructure motion described by its first modal contribution, a three‐degree‐of‐freedom linear model subject to stationary Gaussian excitations, modelled by the modified Kanai‐Tajimi power density spectrum, was used in this analysis. The standard deviation response ratio of the new system respect to the one of the base isolated system was evaluated based on a wide range of parameters. Optimal parameters which minimize structural response were also obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
