Hybrid active tuned mass dampers for structures under the ground acceleration
The hybrid active tuned mass dampers (HATMD)—a new control system—have been proposed to attenuate undesirable oscillations of structures under the ground acceleration. Based on the authors recent exploration, the performance of the active tuned mass damper (ATMD) with the negative normalized acceleration feedback gain factors (NNAFGF) scheme is better than that with the positive NAFGF (PNAFGF) scheme; therefore, the active control forces of the HATMD are generated by combined use of both the NNAFGF and PNAFGF schemes. In the light of the mode‐generalized system in the specific vibration mode being controlled (simply referred here to as the structure) and accordingly deduced formulae, the expression then is defined for the dynamic magnification factor (DMF) of the structure furnished with the HATMD. Naturally, the criterion for the optimum searching can be determined as the minimization of the minimum values of the maximum DMF. By resorting to the selected criterion and utilizing a genetic algorithm, the effects of varying the key parameters on the optimum performance of the HATMD have been scrutinized both to arrive at the parameter combinations that make it best work and to make an attempt to shed light on the particular phenomena that for it there may exist. Furthermore, for the purpose of comparison, this study simultaneously investigates the optimum performance of both the ATMD and active–passive tuned mass dampers (APTMD) employing the proposed NNAFGF scheme. It is found in terms of numerical results that the HATMD outperforms both the ATMD and APTMD. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
