Abstract: Tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) utilize sloshing fluid to absorb and dissipate structural vibrational energy, thereby reducing wind induced dynamic motion. By selecting the appropriate tank length, width, and fluid depth, a ...

Abstract: A third-order nonlinear multimodal model is developed for tanks with nonflat bottoms. A six-node finite element model is used to determine the mode shapes of the velocity potential and the associated natural sloshing ...

Abstract: The nonlinear response of a series-type pendulum tuned mass damper-tuned liquid damper (TMD-TLD) system is investigated in this study. The TLD is mounted on the pendulum TMD in series to remove the need for costly viscous ...

Abstract: A pendulum-type tuned mass damper (TMD)-tuned sloshing damper (TSD) system is proposed as a cost-effective device to reduce wind-induced structural motion. Lagrange's principle is employed to develop an equivalent mechanical ...

Abstract: Space restrictions at the top of tall buildings may necessitate using tuned sloshing dampers (TSD) tanks with large rectangular penetrations to accommodate the structural core of the tower. A finite element model is employed ...
