A Study on Inverse Conversion From Linear Model for Design to Non-Linear Model for the Tuned Viscous Mass Damper

Abstract

The authors have conducted full-scale dynamic tests of the largest forcerestricted tuned viscous mass damper (FRTVMD), and analyses of a single-degree-of-freedom structure incorporated with the FRTVMD. A comparison verified the validity of the linearization method for a nonlinear viscous element in the FRTVMD.
