In this study, a demand‐based optimal design method is proposed for an oscillator (a single‐
degree‐of‐freedom system) with a parallel‐layout viscous inerter damper (PVID). The …

The tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) and tuned inerter damper (TID) are tuned inerter-
based dampers (TIBDs) that can utilize amplified apparent mass and tuning effects. This …

The dynamic response of a multi-story steel moment resisting frame (MRF) equipped with
fluid viscous (VS) dampers and subjected to seismic loads is investigated numerically. The …

In this study, the variations of optimal damper placement using different objective functions
are presented. Instead of the usual choice of transfer function amplitude of the top …

This paper presents a systematic method for identifying the optimal damper distribution to
control the seismic response of a 20-story benchmark building. A genetic algorithm with …

Tuned inerter-based dampers (TIBDs), such as the tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) and
tuned inerter damper (TID), have demonstrated better control performance compared with …

In this study, optimum design of viscous dampers under different mode behaviors are
investigated for structures exposed to earthquakes. The structure is modeled as a shear …
