Application of semi-active tuned mass dampers to base excited systems.

A continously variable semi-active damper is used in a tuned mass damper (TMD) to reduce the level of vibration of a single degree of freedom system subjected to harmonic base excitations. The ground hook dampers as have been used in the auto industry are being studied here. Using these dampers a ne...
