An important part of the structural design process is to decrease the effect of
vibration in buildings, particularly those that may be subject to seismic excitation.
Although research in the field of structural control has been made since the early
1900s, the complexity and dimensions of civil structures make this problem
particularly difficult to solve due to the high demand for control effort and many
other associated limitations. This paper analyzes the performance of a novel
passive control system that can be used for vibration control in civil structures
subjected to base excitation. This control device is called Tuned Inerter Damper
(TID), which overcomes the limitation of classic passive devices that are efficient in
a narrow frequency band for which they are tuned, a situation that is inconvenient
since earthquakes exhibit a very diverse frequency content on most occasions.
Besides, this study employs a metaheuristic optimization approach based on the
differential evolution method (DE) combined with an elastic time-history dynamic
analysis, through which the vibration control focuses on two individual objectives:
first, minimizing the maximum horizontal displacement; and second, minimizing
the root mean square (RMS) response of displacements. A 12-story building
equipped with a novel arrangement of the TID, and subjected to multiple seismic
excitations is studied to verify the effectiveness of the device. The results show a
significant enhancement in the dynamic response when the arrangement presented
in this work is used, and considerably better than an equivalent TMD. Therefore,
TID represents a potentially attractive alternative to traditional passive control
techniques.
