Abstract: This paper presents the results of the analytical and experimental studies of a pendulum tuned mass damper (PTMD) to control excessive floor vibrations due to human movements. The PTMD used in this study acts as a passive ...

Abstract: A semiactive magnetorheological device is used in a pendulum tuned mass damper (PTMD) system to control the excessive vibrations of building floors. This device is called semiactive pendulum tuned mass damper (SAPTMD). ...
