Optimum Setting Parameters of Multiple Tuned Mass Damper for Passive Control of Structures Using Cuckoo Algorithm
Adjustable mass dampers are widely used to reduce the seismic vibrations of engineering structures. The efficiency of these systems requires a proper setting of its parameters. In this study, an efficient and effective method for designing optimal multi-tuned mass dampers (MTMD) is proposed to reduce the vibration response of structures, which is based on the definition of a multi-objective optimization problem. Therefore, the multi-objective optimization algorithm of the cuckoo has been used to solve the issue. MTMD setting parameters are considered as design variables. Since the setting of MTMD parameters is basically a multi-objective optimization problem, three objective functions including minimizing the maximum displacement of the roof, the maximum acceleration of the roof and the maximum displacement of TMDs have been considered in the optimization problem. The results of numerical simulations for a ten-story shear frame exposed to an earthquake show that the cuckoo multi-objective optimization algorithm is able to find appropriate solutions in the form of Parreto curves to set the optimal parameters of MTMDs according to the design objectives. Provided that they are caused by creating a suitable compromise between the objective functions in conflict with each other. Therefore, MTMDs reduce the seismic responses of the structure in a favorable way. Based on the results, it was found that MTMD performance depends on incoming earthquake, TMD mass ratio and number of TMDs. By increasing the number of TMDs, up to a certain limit (10), the seismic response of the seismic system is reduced in a favorable way, but many changes in reducing the seismic response of the structure are not observed. Also, the seismic response of the system is reduced to a certain value (6%), by increasing the mass ratio of TMDs, but the process of reducing the seismic response of structures does not undergo many changes with its further increase.
