“…Therefore, to solve the power supply problem for wireless sensors in railway bridges, many researchers have studied and improved the energy harvesting performance of piezoelectric transducers [5][6][7][8][9], and revealed that the more violent the bridge vibration, the higher the output power of the transducers. However, in order to ensure the safety of bridges, some measures are used to suppress the vibration, such as installing the tuned mass damper (TMD) on the bridge [10][11][12], which results in the output power of the transducers too low to activate many commercially available wireless sensors with power requirements at the mW level [13]. This indicates that installing the piezoelectric transducers directly on the bridge leads to a contradiction between vibration control and energy harvesting.…”

This work proposes a novel piezoelectric tuned mass damper (PE-TMD) with dual function of energy harvesting and vibration control. The dual function is achieved by introducing several piezoelectric transducers into the conventional TMD. Unlike the conventional TMDs, the stiffness and damping of the PE-TMD can be adjusted by changing the circuit resistance. Moreover, the vibration energy absorbed from the primary structure, which is dissipated by the conventional TMD in the form of thermal energy, can be efficiently converted into electrical energy by the piezoelectric transducers for reuse. A railway bridge is selected as the research object to investigate the performance of the PE-TMD. The electromechanical coupling equations between the bridge and the PE-TMD are given first and then verified by a scaled model experiment. The results show the feasibility of the PE-TMD to achieve the two functions of vibration control and energy harvesting simultaneously. Subsequently, the parameters optimized results show that when the damper is completely replaced by the piezoelectric transducers, the two functions can be optimized simultaneously. The expressions for the optimal parameters to optimize the two functions are derived separately, and they are consistent. Finally, the performance comparison with the optimal conventional TMD shows that the optimal PE-TMD exhibits a slightly better performance in vibration control, and its output electrical power is almost identical to the dissipated power by the conventional TMD.

“…Examples of studies that optimized TMDs from the energy perspective include Reggio and Angelis (2015) and De Domenico and Ricciardi (2018). However, TMDs optimized against one given response/energy measure might fail to provide the necessary target performance because of, for example, detuning effects and significant period shifts arising from major seismic damages—some studies have suggested the use of TMDs with large mass ratios or multiple TMDs to suppress frequency detuning (Araz and Kahya, 2022; Kahya and Araz, 2017, 2020).…”

The efficacy of a tuned mass damper (TMD) in dissipating the seismic energy transmitted to a structure depends on the TMD’s and structure’s characteristics and the structural response(s) that the TMD is intended to control. This study presents an approach to designing TMDs considering seismic damage as a representative of structural response. Damage is quantified by the Park–Ang damage index, which integrates deformation-induced damages with the cumulative hysteretic energy dissipated by structural members. The design problem is formulated into an optimization framework. The objective function is assumed to be the maximum value of story damage averaged over an ensemble of independently applied, scaled historical ground motions, and constraints are defined such that an adjustably uniform distribution of the mean story damage along the height of the structure is achieved. The approach is demonstrated by finding the optimum design of a TMD for a 10-story inelastic steel moment-resisting frame (SMRF) using the passive congregation particle swarm and grey wolf optimization techniques and showing that the optimized TMD substantially mitigates local damage in beams and columns, achieves a more uniform damage distribution in stories, yields an improved balance of reduced drifts and accelerations in the structure, and reduces the seismic fragility of the SMRF at different performance levels.

“…Also, the proposed system in this work can be compared to TMDs as it shows the same behaviour and can be utilised as new generation of TMD in real structures in comparison to other carried out studies [ 21 , 22 ]. TMDs and their effectiveness are widely investigated by researchers [ 23 , 24 ] as in the case of severe excitations they can be optimized to suppress the structural vibrations [ 25 – 27 ]. Conversely, the HDM demonstrates more resistant against mistuning in comparison with conventional TMDs [ 28 ].…”

Coulomb friction is considered as a mechanical approach to diminish the structural responses during the excitations. However, in case of severe oscillations supplementary mechanisms are employed besides the friction to mitigate the destructive effects of the vibrations in structures. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to develop a new Hybrid System (HS) which is a parallel combination of Viscous Damping (VD) and Coulomb friction for structures subjected to dynamic load. To achieve this goal, the effect of viscous damper is embedded in the equation of motion which is proposed by Den Hartog for a Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) Coulomb system, and has been extensively implemented for past few decades. In the considered numerical example in this study, implementing the proposed HDM in system resulted in decreasing the maximum displacement in the range of 1% to 98% for different amounts of force amplitude and viscous damping ratios. Also, applying the proposed HDM increased the time lag for about up to 24% for the frequency ratios greater than 1. The developed hybridized system in this study can be utilised as new generation of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) to improve their energy dissipating efficiency under severe excitations.
