“…The ” linear ” acceleration input of the j th TMD located at l th node ( ) is modelled as follows: in which y a , min is the minimum structure acceleration in absolute value for the TMD to start working. If the TMD linear stiffness and damping coefficient of the j th TMD are defined as k t , j and c t , j , respectively, the transfer function (TF) between the force exerted by the j th TMD, and the linear acceleration of the l th structure node is as follows: …”
