Abstract
In this chapter, an efficient design methodology which sizes, tunes and allocates multiple tuned-mass dampers in 3D irregular structures is presented. The proposed methodology is based on an iterative analysis/redesign algorithm which, while using two steps in each iteration, allows obtaining a very efficient amount of added dampers’ mass while converging to an allowable response of the structure. This performance-based design methodology is simple, relies on analysis tools only, and is fast converging, all of which make it very attractive for practical use.
