Sensitivity Analysis of the Effectiveness of Tuned Mass Dampers to Reduce the Wind-Induced Torsional Responses
Abstract Use of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) to reduce the wind-induced torsional response of structures has been investigated in the literature by assuming that the wind excitations can be approximated by harmonic forces or white noise random processes; however, such an assumption is not realistic. Further, wind load effects are correlated. This study is focused on the effectiveness of different linear/nonlinear TMDs configurations to reduce the wind induced response. For the analyses, the structure is modeled as a multi-degree of freedom system under correlated wind load effects. The results show that the selection of optimum dampers is affected by the consideration of the correlated wind load effects.
