Abstract: The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is increasingly being used as an economical and effective dynamic vibration absorber to mitigate the dynamic response of structures. The ability to design a TLD to operate in two directions ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the performance of unidirectional and bidirectional tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) under random excitation. The performance of the tuned liquid dampers is measured in terms of efficiency and robustness. ...
