Abstract: The nonlinear dynamic characteristics of rectangular and cylindrical tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) were studied by the so-called regularized boundary integral method (RBIM). An artificial damping coefficient was also included ...

Abstract: A porous-media-tuned liquid damper (PMTLD) can serve as an effective and economical dynamic vibration absorber. Placing porous media within a water tank can improve the capacity for energy dissipation and optimize the ...
