Optimum multiple tuned mass dampers for structures under the ground acceleration based on the uniform distribution of system parameters.
The five MTMD models, with natural frequencies being uniformly distributed around their mean frequency, have been recently presented by the first author. They are shown to have the near zero optimum average, damping ratio (more precisely, for a given mass ratio there is an upper limit on the total n...
