Tuned Mass Damper Week 4

This document describes a student project to design a self-adjustable variable pendulum tuned mass damper (SAVP-TMD) system to control horizontal vibrations in tall buildings. The SAVP-TMD uses an accelerometer and microcontroller to measure the acceleration ratio between the damper and building and adjust the pendulum length using a stepper motor based on an adjustment algorithm. Mathematical models of the system are developed, including equations of motion, and the performance is analyzed using Laplace transforms. A 3D CAD model and Gantt chart are also included. The goal is to improve on traditional pendulum tuned mass dampers which are sensitive to frequency deviations.

THEORY
• Pendulum tuned mass damper (PTMD) is usually used to control the horizontal vibration of a
tall building. However, traditional PTMD is highly sensitive to frequency deviation and difficult
to adjust its frequency. In order to improve this problem of traditional PTMD and protect a tall
building more effectively, a novel PTMD, called self‐adjustable variable pendulum tuned mass
damper (SAVP‐TMD). On the basis of the acceleration ratio between TMD and primary
structure, the SAVP‐TMD can retune itself by varying the length of the pendulum according to
the improved acceleration ratio‐based adjustment algorithm.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL
• PTMD and primary structural accelerations are
obtained from two accelerometers respectively,
and the acceleration ratio is calculated in a
microcontroller, then, the stepper motor will
adjust the pendulum under the guidance of the
microcontroller under a specific harmonic
excitation. The improved acceleration
ratio‐based adjustment algorithm is proposed
and compared to solve the no convergent
retuning problem. The SAVP‐TMD can be
regarded as a passive damper including a
frequency adjustment device. A
single‐degree‐of‐freedom structure model is
used to verify the effectiveness of SAVP‐TMD
through both experimental study and numerical
simulation. The equation of motion for the
PTMD model is given by Eq. 3-1 :
MATHEMATICAL MODEL
The PTMD movement equation is a non-linear
term. In normal load conditions, the pendulum
mass angular rotation would disrupt the stability (3-1)

of the balance. As such the non-linear equation


of motion can be linearized by observing that
the non linear terms cos (𝑡) and 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃(𝑡) can be (3-2)

approximated to 1 and 𝜃(𝑡) about the


equilibrium point. The linearized equation of
motion for the PTMD model is given by Eq. 3-2
MATHEMATICAL MODEL
• The model performance is the free
response. The Laplace transform is (3-3)
applied to Equation 3-2 to determine
the free response of the PTMD model.
The resultant expression is shown in
Eq. 3-3. Note that the terms (0) and ̇
(0) are the initial angular
displacement and angular velocity of (3-4)

the pendulum mass. The free response


in the time domain is obtained by Note that: 𝜉𝑑= damping ratio , 𝜔𝑑= natural frequency,

transform of Eq. 3-3, and is
represented in Eq. 3-4
