1 Introduction

Structural systems with voided biaxial slabs have been widelyused in engineering applications in Europe [1 2] and ChinaSchnellenbach-Held and Pfeffer [3] for instance in-vestigated the structural behavior of a type of biaxial voidedslab called BubbleDeck used in Europe -is voided slabconsists of a hollow ball made of recycled industrial plastic[3] BubbleDeck is employed to act as a normal monolithictwo-way spanning concrete slab Other examples of similarhollow modules include U-boot [2] -e main advantages ofbiaxial voided slabs are that they reduce dead weight andextend the span of structural floors [4] -e most importantfeature of these hollow modules is their large voided interiorspace

In a previous study [5] the authors proposed a new typeof damper namely the tuned rolling mass damper (TRMD)that takes advantage of the large space in voided modules to

avoid the excessive occupation of building space often en-countered in pendulum-like tuned mass damper (TMD)applications However the study shows the TRMDs have aproblem as for TMDs ie they have limited response re-duction capacity for seismic control [6ndash8] -e reason mayattribute to that the frequency response function of the linearTMDs is quite narrow compared to the frequency band ofseismic response of MDOF systems -erefore an in-troduction of nonlinear mechanism into the linear TMDsmay benefit to the controlling effect In this regard one mayconsider the use of the pounding tuned mass damper(PTMD) that combines a traditional TMD and a collisionmechanism proposed in a previous study [9] Specificallybased on a traditional TMD a PTMD adds buffer made ofviscoelastic materials to limit the stroke of the mass [10]-esystem acts as a traditional linear TMD without poundingwhen the stroke is inside of the buffers whereas it acts as anonlinear TMD when a larger stroke occurs -is high

degree of nonlinearity is due to the impact between theoscillator and the buffers In the impact process mechanicalenergy is dissipated as heat and noise

Zhang et al [9] utilized PTMD for response control of atransmission tower -e performance of the PTMD underearthquake conditions was studied and the numerical resultsconfirmed that the PTMD was more effective than a TMD-e influence of parameters such as the mass ratio clearanceseismic intensity and structural damping ratio was analyzedLi et al [11] investigated the performance of a PTMD on atraffic signal pole -e pounding mechanism of the PTMDwas verified experimentally with its performance underconditions of free vibration and resonant excitation exceedingthat of a TMD [12ndash14] -e acceleration response of thecontrol signal under conditions of sine-wave excitation wasreduced by 55 which is an important and significant resultLi et al [12] applied a PTMD to a subsea jumper to study therobustness of the damper when confronted with detuningeffects It was found that [12] the PTMD performed best whenthe excitation frequency was slightly lower than the funda-mental frequency which is the optimal frequency Xue et al[13] took an offshore platform as an example and reached thesame conclusion ie PTMD is more effective and robust thanTMD Previous studies demonstrate that viscoelastic collisionmechanisms significantly improve the damping performanceand robustness of the traditional TMDs However moststudies [14ndash16] investigated impact dampers be they theo-retical or experimental focusing on the performance of SDOFsystems under simple excitation conditions such as sinusoidalloading Most civil structures for instance multistorybuildings experiencing situations such as strong winds orearthquakes cannot reasonably be approximated as an SDOFsystem and complex external loading is likely to induce morethan just the fundamental mode [16]

In this paper a novel pounding tuned rotary massdamper (PTRMD) that combines a buffered poundingmechanism to the design of a TRMD is presented Specif-ically first the equations of motion relating to SDOFMDOF structure controlled by a PTRMD are derived Nextthe control performance of three different loading condi-tions for an SDOF system including free vibration har-monic excitations and seismic excitation is investigatedFurthermore a 6-story structure is used as an illustrativeexample for control performance of an MDOF systemsequipped with PTRMD PTRMDs of varying frequencies areintroduced into this numerical simulation to study the ro-bustness of the system Finally experiments involving freevibration and seismic response of PTRMD-controlled SDOFstructure are conducted to verify the effectiveness of theproposed control device

2 Pounding Tuned Rotary MassDamper System

21 Primary Structure A structure with a voided biaxialreinforced concrete slab is the primary structure to becontrolled -e main elements of this slab are prefabricatedhollow box-like modules (Figure 1) located between the

reinforcement grids of the main beams and the ribbedbeams -e modules are used as the side formwork site-casting the concrete beams In this way only the bottomformworks of the concrete slab are needed thus saving aconsiderable mass of the structure Figure 2 shows a sim-plified diagram of a hollow floor with a pounding tunedrotary mass damper -e damper consists of a single rect-angular hollow box a ball rolling along an arch path andtwo buffering stop plates Compared to the other TMDs theproposed PTRMD system does not alter the architecturalinterior space excessively Previous studies [13] indicatedthat an enhanced control effect could be achieved by in-troducing a flexible buffer zone between a moving dampermass and its boundaries Stop plates covered with visco-elastic materials are therefore installed in the hollow-floorcavity

22 Models of Mass Dampers Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) illustrate aTRMD pounding mass damper (PMD) and PTRMDmodelused for a hollow-ribbed floor -e PTRMD consists of twoparts ie the TRMD part and the pounding part -eTRMD part as shown in Figure 3(a) is a hollowmodule withan arced path supporting a rolling ball -is part absorbsstructural mechanical energy by tuning the damper fre-quency to the fundamental structure frequency and throughthe friction generated on the mass-path interface -epounding part is two stroke-limiting plates covered withviscoelastic materials located on both sides of the massequilibrium position A poundingimpact mass damperwithout tunable frequency is shown in Figure 3(b) Once themass stroke exceeds the allowed clearance the mass impactsthe inner side of the plates causing mechanical energy todissipate in the form of heat and noise In brief the PTRMDhas two energy dissipation mechanisms one derived fromthe pounding mechanism and another originated from thetuned mass damper

23 Governing Equation for an SDOF PTRMD Structure-e structure equipped with a PTRMD can be considered asa model with two degrees of freedom for numerical analysisas shown in Figure 3(c) In this context one may useLagrangersquos equation to derive the equations of the motion ofthe controlled system in which the angular motion of therolling mass is considered to be a small quantity -at is

First consider the situation when no collision occurs Inthis case the angular displacement of the mass θ satisfiesminusθm le θ le θm where θm is the angular displacement of theoscillator with respect to the center of the arced path when acollision occurs In this case the kinetic and potential energyof the controlled structure can be written as follows

3 Control Performance of an SDOFStructure with PTRMD

A single-degree-of-freedom structure with a PTRMD sub-jected to three different loading scenarios free vibrationharmonic excitation and different intensities of earthquakeexcitation is considered-e parameters are listed in Table 1and θm was chosen to be 013 rad [6 13] A PMD shown inFigure 3(b) with the same parameters is employed forcomparison where the stroke length equals to the projectionlength of the arced path in the PTRMD

31 Free Vibration In the case of free vibration an initialdisplacement of 0015m is applied to the structure Figure 4shows the dynamic responses of the structure with PMDwith PTRMD and without control for comparison -efigure shows that the PTRMD mitigates the vibration ef-fectively For the first 87 s the damping rate with thePTRMD is quite rapid whereas after 87 s a beat oscillationcan be observed in the dynamic response of the structureOne can conclude that the PTRMD is no longer functioningafter 87 s indicating that the rolling ball does not impactwith the plates anymore From then on the system works asa TRMD and dissipates mechanical energy by means ofstructural damping and the interface friction Further in-spection illustrates that the dynamic response of a structurewith a TRMD diminishes with time

In the case of a PMD (again see Figure 4) the vibrationreduction is quite effective However it took 5 s for the PMDto reduce the displacement of the main structure to 1mmwhile the PTRMD only needed 38 s -is implies that thevibration reduction performance of a PTRMD is better thana PMD Figure 5 shows a comparison of the velocity of theball rolling in the hollow with the PMD and PTRMD It isnoticeable that the ballrsquos velocity in the PTRMD system isfaster than the one in the PMD system from 55 s to 87 sBesides for a PMD one may conclude that the velocity ofthe ball at the moment it collides with the stroke-limitingplates depends entirely on the linear velocity of the ball at theend of the previous collision By contrast the ball in aPTRMD system located in the curved track can absorb thestructural energy convert it into its own kinetic energy and

finally dissipate the energy out -e preceding argumentindicates that the energy-consuming capacity of a PTRMD ismore efficient especially at the early phase of the response

32HarmonicExcitation For the forced vibrations subject toharmonic excitation consider first the resonant case ie theexcitation frequency equals to the fundamental frequency ofthe structure In this case choose f(t) 100 middot sinωt andω 84 rads Figure 4 shows a comparison between theresponses of the same structure without control controlled bya PMD and controlled by the PTRMD Similar to the situ-ation in Section 31 parameters of the stroke-limiting plate(cb kb) in the PMD equal the ones in the PTRMD Excitationwith nonresonant frequency is also investigated from 0 to15 rads [13]

For the resonant case Figure 6 shows a comparison ofthe responses to harmonic excitation for the three differentscenarios It can be seen that the PTRMD has the bestcontrol performance although the PMD also reduced thestationary amplitude significantly Figure 7 shows the re-sponse amplitudes of the main structure versus excitationfrequencies From Figure 7 one can conclude that thePTRMDs are more effective than PMDs in the resonant caseWhen the frequency of the excitation is lower than 8 rads orhigher than 9 rads both the PTRMD and the PMD areunable to control the vibration effectively

33 Seismic Control Performance Considering the samestructures uncontrolled or controlled by the PMD andPTRMD subjected to El Centro and Kobe excitation with a

peak value of 110 cms2 the EL Centro wave (May 181940) has a north-south acceleration peak of 3417 cms2and the Kobe wave (January 16 1995 Kobe Japan) has anorth-south acceleration peak of 821 cms2 Figures 8(a)and 8(b) show response comparisons between the threedifferent control scenarios under two earthquake exci-tations respectively It is seen that although the effec-tiveness of the PMD and PTRMD systems on peakmitigation is not significant the responses after the peakare well controlled

To further investigate the effectiveness of the PTRMDcontrol efficiency from an energy perspective is examinedFigures 9(a) 9(b) 10(a) and 10(b) show the total amount ofenergy input from the earthquake excitation (input energy)and the amount of energy dissipated by structural dampingand by the PTRMD or PMD For the uncontrolled structure

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

4 Seismic Control of an MDOFStructure with PTRMD

Consider a six-floor structure with a lumped-mass model-e lumped masses are assumed to be the same at each floorie 16315 t -e stiffness and damping coefficients of eachstory reduce from the top floor to the ground floor Insteadof assuming a value for the pounding stiffness and thepounding damping they can be obtained from a linearviscoelastic pounding model [22ndash25]

defined as the ratio of the prepounding velocity to thepostpounding velocity Generally the restitutive coefficientshould be measured to determine kb and cb Alternatively inthis numerical example one may adopt a value of poundingdamping coefficient ξ suggested by other studies and obtainthe restitutive coefficient e by using equation (14) Assumingξ 01 leads to kb 427 kNm2 and cb 808Nmiddotsm [26]Other parameters of the PTRMD-controlled MDOF struc-ture are listed in Table 3 In this case the mass ratio of theoscillator to the first model mass is 05

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

Experiments were performed to cover two cases First ofall a free-vibration experiment was carried out by applying

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

Zhang et al [9] utilized PTMD for response control of atransmission tower -e performance of the PTMD underearthquake conditions was studied and the numerical resultsconfirmed that the PTMD was more effective than a TMD-e influence of parameters such as the mass ratio clearanceseismic intensity and structural damping ratio was analyzedLi et al [11] investigated the performance of a PTMD on atraffic signal pole -e pounding mechanism of the PTMDwas verified experimentally with its performance underconditions of free vibration and resonant excitation exceedingthat of a TMD [12ndash14] -e acceleration response of thecontrol signal under conditions of sine-wave excitation wasreduced by 55 which is an important and significant resultLi et al [12] applied a PTMD to a subsea jumper to study therobustness of the damper when confronted with detuningeffects It was found that [12] the PTMD performed best whenthe excitation frequency was slightly lower than the funda-mental frequency which is the optimal frequency Xue et al[13] took an offshore platform as an example and reached thesame conclusion ie PTMD is more effective and robust thanTMD Previous studies demonstrate that viscoelastic collisionmechanisms significantly improve the damping performanceand robustness of the traditional TMDs However moststudies [14ndash16] investigated impact dampers be they theo-retical or experimental focusing on the performance of SDOFsystems under simple excitation conditions such as sinusoidalloading Most civil structures for instance multistorybuildings experiencing situations such as strong winds orearthquakes cannot reasonably be approximated as an SDOFsystem and complex external loading is likely to induce morethan just the fundamental mode [16]

In this paper a novel pounding tuned rotary massdamper (PTRMD) that combines a buffered poundingmechanism to the design of a TRMD is presented Specif-ically first the equations of motion relating to SDOFMDOF structure controlled by a PTRMD are derived Nextthe control performance of three different loading condi-tions for an SDOF system including free vibration har-monic excitations and seismic excitation is investigatedFurthermore a 6-story structure is used as an illustrativeexample for control performance of an MDOF systemsequipped with PTRMD PTRMDs of varying frequencies areintroduced into this numerical simulation to study the ro-bustness of the system Finally experiments involving freevibration and seismic response of PTRMD-controlled SDOFstructure are conducted to verify the effectiveness of theproposed control device

21 Primary Structure A structure with a voided biaxialreinforced concrete slab is the primary structure to becontrolled -e main elements of this slab are prefabricatedhollow box-like modules (Figure 1) located between the

reinforcement grids of the main beams and the ribbedbeams -e modules are used as the side formwork site-casting the concrete beams In this way only the bottomformworks of the concrete slab are needed thus saving aconsiderable mass of the structure Figure 2 shows a sim-plified diagram of a hollow floor with a pounding tunedrotary mass damper -e damper consists of a single rect-angular hollow box a ball rolling along an arch path andtwo buffering stop plates Compared to the other TMDs theproposed PTRMD system does not alter the architecturalinterior space excessively Previous studies [13] indicatedthat an enhanced control effect could be achieved by in-troducing a flexible buffer zone between a moving dampermass and its boundaries Stop plates covered with visco-elastic materials are therefore installed in the hollow-floorcavity

22 Models of Mass Dampers Figures 3(a)ndash3(c) illustrate aTRMD pounding mass damper (PMD) and PTRMDmodelused for a hollow-ribbed floor -e PTRMD consists of twoparts ie the TRMD part and the pounding part -eTRMD part as shown in Figure 3(a) is a hollowmodule withan arced path supporting a rolling ball -is part absorbsstructural mechanical energy by tuning the damper fre-quency to the fundamental structure frequency and throughthe friction generated on the mass-path interface -epounding part is two stroke-limiting plates covered withviscoelastic materials located on both sides of the massequilibrium position A poundingimpact mass damperwithout tunable frequency is shown in Figure 3(b) Once themass stroke exceeds the allowed clearance the mass impactsthe inner side of the plates causing mechanical energy todissipate in the form of heat and noise In brief the PTRMDhas two energy dissipation mechanisms one derived fromthe pounding mechanism and another originated from thetuned mass damper

3 Control Performance of an SDOFStructure with PTRMD

A single-degree-of-freedom structure with a PTRMD sub-jected to three different loading scenarios free vibrationharmonic excitation and different intensities of earthquakeexcitation is considered-e parameters are listed in Table 1and θm was chosen to be 013 rad [6 13] A PMD shown inFigure 3(b) with the same parameters is employed forcomparison where the stroke length equals to the projectionlength of the arced path in the PTRMD

31 Free Vibration In the case of free vibration an initialdisplacement of 0015m is applied to the structure Figure 4shows the dynamic responses of the structure with PMDwith PTRMD and without control for comparison -efigure shows that the PTRMD mitigates the vibration ef-fectively For the first 87 s the damping rate with thePTRMD is quite rapid whereas after 87 s a beat oscillationcan be observed in the dynamic response of the structureOne can conclude that the PTRMD is no longer functioningafter 87 s indicating that the rolling ball does not impactwith the plates anymore From then on the system works asa TRMD and dissipates mechanical energy by means ofstructural damping and the interface friction Further in-spection illustrates that the dynamic response of a structurewith a TRMD diminishes with time

In the case of a PMD (again see Figure 4) the vibrationreduction is quite effective However it took 5 s for the PMDto reduce the displacement of the main structure to 1mmwhile the PTRMD only needed 38 s -is implies that thevibration reduction performance of a PTRMD is better thana PMD Figure 5 shows a comparison of the velocity of theball rolling in the hollow with the PMD and PTRMD It isnoticeable that the ballrsquos velocity in the PTRMD system isfaster than the one in the PMD system from 55 s to 87 sBesides for a PMD one may conclude that the velocity ofthe ball at the moment it collides with the stroke-limitingplates depends entirely on the linear velocity of the ball at theend of the previous collision By contrast the ball in aPTRMD system located in the curved track can absorb thestructural energy convert it into its own kinetic energy and

4 Shock and Vibration

finally dissipate the energy out -e preceding argumentindicates that the energy-consuming capacity of a PTRMD ismore efficient especially at the early phase of the response

32HarmonicExcitation For the forced vibrations subject toharmonic excitation consider first the resonant case ie theexcitation frequency equals to the fundamental frequency ofthe structure In this case choose f(t) 100 middot sinωt andω 84 rads Figure 4 shows a comparison between theresponses of the same structure without control controlled bya PMD and controlled by the PTRMD Similar to the situ-ation in Section 31 parameters of the stroke-limiting plate(cb kb) in the PMD equal the ones in the PTRMD Excitationwith nonresonant frequency is also investigated from 0 to15 rads [13]

For the resonant case Figure 6 shows a comparison ofthe responses to harmonic excitation for the three differentscenarios It can be seen that the PTRMD has the bestcontrol performance although the PMD also reduced thestationary amplitude significantly Figure 7 shows the re-sponse amplitudes of the main structure versus excitationfrequencies From Figure 7 one can conclude that thePTRMDs are more effective than PMDs in the resonant caseWhen the frequency of the excitation is lower than 8 rads orhigher than 9 rads both the PTRMD and the PMD areunable to control the vibration effectively

33 Seismic Control Performance Considering the samestructures uncontrolled or controlled by the PMD andPTRMD subjected to El Centro and Kobe excitation with a

peak value of 110 cms2 the EL Centro wave (May 181940) has a north-south acceleration peak of 3417 cms2and the Kobe wave (January 16 1995 Kobe Japan) has anorth-south acceleration peak of 821 cms2 Figures 8(a)and 8(b) show response comparisons between the threedifferent control scenarios under two earthquake exci-tations respectively It is seen that although the effec-tiveness of the PMD and PTRMD systems on peakmitigation is not significant the responses after the peakare well controlled

To further investigate the effectiveness of the PTRMDcontrol efficiency from an energy perspective is examinedFigures 9(a) 9(b) 10(a) and 10(b) show the total amount ofenergy input from the earthquake excitation (input energy)and the amount of energy dissipated by structural dampingand by the PTRMD or PMD For the uncontrolled structure

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

defined as the ratio of the prepounding velocity to thepostpounding velocity Generally the restitutive coefficientshould be measured to determine kb and cb Alternatively inthis numerical example one may adopt a value of poundingdamping coefficient ξ suggested by other studies and obtainthe restitutive coefficient e by using equation (14) Assumingξ 01 leads to kb 427 kNm2 and cb 808Nmiddotsm [26]Other parameters of the PTRMD-controlled MDOF struc-ture are listed in Table 3 In this case the mass ratio of theoscillator to the first model mass is 05

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

3 Control Performance of an SDOFStructure with PTRMD

A single-degree-of-freedom structure with a PTRMD sub-jected to three different loading scenarios free vibrationharmonic excitation and different intensities of earthquakeexcitation is considered-e parameters are listed in Table 1and θm was chosen to be 013 rad [6 13] A PMD shown inFigure 3(b) with the same parameters is employed forcomparison where the stroke length equals to the projectionlength of the arced path in the PTRMD

31 Free Vibration In the case of free vibration an initialdisplacement of 0015m is applied to the structure Figure 4shows the dynamic responses of the structure with PMDwith PTRMD and without control for comparison -efigure shows that the PTRMD mitigates the vibration ef-fectively For the first 87 s the damping rate with thePTRMD is quite rapid whereas after 87 s a beat oscillationcan be observed in the dynamic response of the structureOne can conclude that the PTRMD is no longer functioningafter 87 s indicating that the rolling ball does not impactwith the plates anymore From then on the system works asa TRMD and dissipates mechanical energy by means ofstructural damping and the interface friction Further in-spection illustrates that the dynamic response of a structurewith a TRMD diminishes with time

In the case of a PMD (again see Figure 4) the vibrationreduction is quite effective However it took 5 s for the PMDto reduce the displacement of the main structure to 1mmwhile the PTRMD only needed 38 s -is implies that thevibration reduction performance of a PTRMD is better thana PMD Figure 5 shows a comparison of the velocity of theball rolling in the hollow with the PMD and PTRMD It isnoticeable that the ballrsquos velocity in the PTRMD system isfaster than the one in the PMD system from 55 s to 87 sBesides for a PMD one may conclude that the velocity ofthe ball at the moment it collides with the stroke-limitingplates depends entirely on the linear velocity of the ball at theend of the previous collision By contrast the ball in aPTRMD system located in the curved track can absorb thestructural energy convert it into its own kinetic energy and

finally dissipate the energy out -e preceding argumentindicates that the energy-consuming capacity of a PTRMD ismore efficient especially at the early phase of the response

32HarmonicExcitation For the forced vibrations subject toharmonic excitation consider first the resonant case ie theexcitation frequency equals to the fundamental frequency ofthe structure In this case choose f(t) 100 middot sinωt andω 84 rads Figure 4 shows a comparison between theresponses of the same structure without control controlled bya PMD and controlled by the PTRMD Similar to the situ-ation in Section 31 parameters of the stroke-limiting plate(cb kb) in the PMD equal the ones in the PTRMD Excitationwith nonresonant frequency is also investigated from 0 to15 rads [13]

For the resonant case Figure 6 shows a comparison ofthe responses to harmonic excitation for the three differentscenarios It can be seen that the PTRMD has the bestcontrol performance although the PMD also reduced thestationary amplitude significantly Figure 7 shows the re-sponse amplitudes of the main structure versus excitationfrequencies From Figure 7 one can conclude that thePTRMDs are more effective than PMDs in the resonant caseWhen the frequency of the excitation is lower than 8 rads orhigher than 9 rads both the PTRMD and the PMD areunable to control the vibration effectively

33 Seismic Control Performance Considering the samestructures uncontrolled or controlled by the PMD andPTRMD subjected to El Centro and Kobe excitation with a

peak value of 110 cms2 the EL Centro wave (May 181940) has a north-south acceleration peak of 3417 cms2and the Kobe wave (January 16 1995 Kobe Japan) has anorth-south acceleration peak of 821 cms2 Figures 8(a)and 8(b) show response comparisons between the threedifferent control scenarios under two earthquake exci-tations respectively It is seen that although the effec-tiveness of the PMD and PTRMD systems on peakmitigation is not significant the responses after the peakare well controlled

To further investigate the effectiveness of the PTRMDcontrol efficiency from an energy perspective is examinedFigures 9(a) 9(b) 10(a) and 10(b) show the total amount ofenergy input from the earthquake excitation (input energy)and the amount of energy dissipated by structural dampingand by the PTRMD or PMD For the uncontrolled structure

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

4 Seismic Control of an MDOFStructure with PTRMD

Consider a six-floor structure with a lumped-mass model-e lumped masses are assumed to be the same at each floorie 16315 t -e stiffness and damping coefficients of eachstory reduce from the top floor to the ground floor Insteadof assuming a value for the pounding stiffness and thepounding damping they can be obtained from a linearviscoelastic pounding model [22ndash25]

defined as the ratio of the prepounding velocity to thepostpounding velocity Generally the restitutive coefficientshould be measured to determine kb and cb Alternatively inthis numerical example one may adopt a value of poundingdamping coefficient ξ suggested by other studies and obtainthe restitutive coefficient e by using equation (14) Assumingξ 01 leads to kb 427 kNm2 and cb 808Nmiddotsm [26]Other parameters of the PTRMD-controlled MDOF struc-ture are listed in Table 3 In this case the mass ratio of theoscillator to the first model mass is 05

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

Experiments were performed to cover two cases First ofall a free-vibration experiment was carried out by applying

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

3 Control Performance of an SDOFStructure with PTRMD

A single-degree-of-freedom structure with a PTRMD sub-jected to three different loading scenarios free vibrationharmonic excitation and different intensities of earthquakeexcitation is considered-e parameters are listed in Table 1and θm was chosen to be 013 rad [6 13] A PMD shown inFigure 3(b) with the same parameters is employed forcomparison where the stroke length equals to the projectionlength of the arced path in the PTRMD

31 Free Vibration In the case of free vibration an initialdisplacement of 0015m is applied to the structure Figure 4shows the dynamic responses of the structure with PMDwith PTRMD and without control for comparison -efigure shows that the PTRMD mitigates the vibration ef-fectively For the first 87 s the damping rate with thePTRMD is quite rapid whereas after 87 s a beat oscillationcan be observed in the dynamic response of the structureOne can conclude that the PTRMD is no longer functioningafter 87 s indicating that the rolling ball does not impactwith the plates anymore From then on the system works asa TRMD and dissipates mechanical energy by means ofstructural damping and the interface friction Further in-spection illustrates that the dynamic response of a structurewith a TRMD diminishes with time

In the case of a PMD (again see Figure 4) the vibrationreduction is quite effective However it took 5 s for the PMDto reduce the displacement of the main structure to 1mmwhile the PTRMD only needed 38 s -is implies that thevibration reduction performance of a PTRMD is better thana PMD Figure 5 shows a comparison of the velocity of theball rolling in the hollow with the PMD and PTRMD It isnoticeable that the ballrsquos velocity in the PTRMD system isfaster than the one in the PMD system from 55 s to 87 sBesides for a PMD one may conclude that the velocity ofthe ball at the moment it collides with the stroke-limitingplates depends entirely on the linear velocity of the ball at theend of the previous collision By contrast the ball in aPTRMD system located in the curved track can absorb thestructural energy convert it into its own kinetic energy and

4 Shock and Vibration

finally dissipate the energy out -e preceding argumentindicates that the energy-consuming capacity of a PTRMD ismore efficient especially at the early phase of the response

32HarmonicExcitation For the forced vibrations subject toharmonic excitation consider first the resonant case ie theexcitation frequency equals to the fundamental frequency ofthe structure In this case choose f(t) 100 middot sinωt andω 84 rads Figure 4 shows a comparison between theresponses of the same structure without control controlled bya PMD and controlled by the PTRMD Similar to the situ-ation in Section 31 parameters of the stroke-limiting plate(cb kb) in the PMD equal the ones in the PTRMD Excitationwith nonresonant frequency is also investigated from 0 to15 rads [13]

For the resonant case Figure 6 shows a comparison ofthe responses to harmonic excitation for the three differentscenarios It can be seen that the PTRMD has the bestcontrol performance although the PMD also reduced thestationary amplitude significantly Figure 7 shows the re-sponse amplitudes of the main structure versus excitationfrequencies From Figure 7 one can conclude that thePTRMDs are more effective than PMDs in the resonant caseWhen the frequency of the excitation is lower than 8 rads orhigher than 9 rads both the PTRMD and the PMD areunable to control the vibration effectively

33 Seismic Control Performance Considering the samestructures uncontrolled or controlled by the PMD andPTRMD subjected to El Centro and Kobe excitation with a

peak value of 110 cms2 the EL Centro wave (May 181940) has a north-south acceleration peak of 3417 cms2and the Kobe wave (January 16 1995 Kobe Japan) has anorth-south acceleration peak of 821 cms2 Figures 8(a)and 8(b) show response comparisons between the threedifferent control scenarios under two earthquake exci-tations respectively It is seen that although the effec-tiveness of the PMD and PTRMD systems on peakmitigation is not significant the responses after the peakare well controlled

To further investigate the effectiveness of the PTRMDcontrol efficiency from an energy perspective is examinedFigures 9(a) 9(b) 10(a) and 10(b) show the total amount ofenergy input from the earthquake excitation (input energy)and the amount of energy dissipated by structural dampingand by the PTRMD or PMD For the uncontrolled structure

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

4 Seismic Control of an MDOFStructure with PTRMD

Consider a six-floor structure with a lumped-mass model-e lumped masses are assumed to be the same at each floorie 16315 t -e stiffness and damping coefficients of eachstory reduce from the top floor to the ground floor Insteadof assuming a value for the pounding stiffness and thepounding damping they can be obtained from a linearviscoelastic pounding model [22ndash25]

defined as the ratio of the prepounding velocity to thepostpounding velocity Generally the restitutive coefficientshould be measured to determine kb and cb Alternatively inthis numerical example one may adopt a value of poundingdamping coefficient ξ suggested by other studies and obtainthe restitutive coefficient e by using equation (14) Assumingξ 01 leads to kb 427 kNm2 and cb 808Nmiddotsm [26]Other parameters of the PTRMD-controlled MDOF struc-ture are listed in Table 3 In this case the mass ratio of theoscillator to the first model mass is 05

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

finally dissipate the energy out -e preceding argumentindicates that the energy-consuming capacity of a PTRMD ismore efficient especially at the early phase of the response

32HarmonicExcitation For the forced vibrations subject toharmonic excitation consider first the resonant case ie theexcitation frequency equals to the fundamental frequency ofthe structure In this case choose f(t) 100 middot sinωt andω 84 rads Figure 4 shows a comparison between theresponses of the same structure without control controlled bya PMD and controlled by the PTRMD Similar to the situ-ation in Section 31 parameters of the stroke-limiting plate(cb kb) in the PMD equal the ones in the PTRMD Excitationwith nonresonant frequency is also investigated from 0 to15 rads [13]

For the resonant case Figure 6 shows a comparison ofthe responses to harmonic excitation for the three differentscenarios It can be seen that the PTRMD has the bestcontrol performance although the PMD also reduced thestationary amplitude significantly Figure 7 shows the re-sponse amplitudes of the main structure versus excitationfrequencies From Figure 7 one can conclude that thePTRMDs are more effective than PMDs in the resonant caseWhen the frequency of the excitation is lower than 8 rads orhigher than 9 rads both the PTRMD and the PMD areunable to control the vibration effectively

33 Seismic Control Performance Considering the samestructures uncontrolled or controlled by the PMD andPTRMD subjected to El Centro and Kobe excitation with a

peak value of 110 cms2 the EL Centro wave (May 181940) has a north-south acceleration peak of 3417 cms2and the Kobe wave (January 16 1995 Kobe Japan) has anorth-south acceleration peak of 821 cms2 Figures 8(a)and 8(b) show response comparisons between the threedifferent control scenarios under two earthquake exci-tations respectively It is seen that although the effec-tiveness of the PMD and PTRMD systems on peakmitigation is not significant the responses after the peakare well controlled

To further investigate the effectiveness of the PTRMDcontrol efficiency from an energy perspective is examinedFigures 9(a) 9(b) 10(a) and 10(b) show the total amount ofenergy input from the earthquake excitation (input energy)and the amount of energy dissipated by structural dampingand by the PTRMD or PMD For the uncontrolled structure

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

defined as the ratio of the prepounding velocity to thepostpounding velocity Generally the restitutive coefficientshould be measured to determine kb and cb Alternatively inthis numerical example one may adopt a value of poundingdamping coefficient ξ suggested by other studies and obtainthe restitutive coefficient e by using equation (14) Assumingξ 01 leads to kb 427 kNm2 and cb 808Nmiddotsm [26]Other parameters of the PTRMD-controlled MDOF struc-ture are listed in Table 3 In this case the mass ratio of theoscillator to the first model mass is 05

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

Experiments were performed to cover two cases First ofall a free-vibration experiment was carried out by applying

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

To quantify the vibration control performance one candefine the response reduction ratio as

Figures 26(a) and 26(b) show a comparison between theresponse of the primary structure with and without thePTRMD for a Cape Mendocino (April 25 1992 and north-south) earthquake as an input It can be seen that the dis-placement and acceleration of the controlled structure aregreatly mitigated especially after the 5th sec -e controlledresponse of the model structure subject to El Centroearthquake excitation exhibits similar behavior which is notshown here-e results measured from the experimental testfor Cape Mendocino and El Centro waves are listed inTables 6 and 7 demonstrating the vibration control effec-tiveness of the PTRMD

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

the sum of the structural strain energy kinetic energy andstructural viscous damped energy equals the seismic inputenergy For the controlled structures the sum of the three isless than the input energy of the earthquake -e differencebetween them is the energy dissipated by the external controldevice From Figures 10(a) and 10(b) one may conclude thatthe reason for the PTRMD failing to reduce the peaks can beattributed to the following at the early stage of the seismicresponse neither the angular displacement nor the angularacceleration of the ball oscillator is large enough for pro-ducing a collision With the increment of the structuralresponse and the angular response of the oscillator effectivecollisions are finally produced therefore achieving thedesigned purpose of energy dissipation

-e control effectiveness of the PTRMD and PMD arecompared in Table 2 -e energy reduction ratio is 530

and 418 for the two dampers under the Kobe excitationrespectively For El Centro excitation case the energy re-duction ratio for the PMD system is 457 and increases to468 for the PTRMD system

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

Experiments were performed to cover two cases First ofall a free-vibration experiment was carried out by applying

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

5 Experimental Verification

51 Experimental Setup Experiments were conducted toinvestigate the effectiveness of the PTRMD and verify thenumerical results An experimental structure illustrated inFigure 23 was built to simulate an SDOF linear oscillator-e test model consisted of two sets of 400 times 100 times 1mmflexible columnsmade of steel strips and a 300 times 100 times 10mmbeammade of aluminum alloy In order to fix the model withthe shaking table a 300 times 100 times 10mm aluminum alloybottom plate was made -e columns were bolted rigidly tothe beam and the base such that the ends were rotationallyfixed-e base was fixed to a unidirectional shake table (Shake

Table 2 Quanser) that was driven by an electrodynamicshaker to produce base excitation Dynamic tests show thatthe frequency of the primary structure isfn 227Hz and thedamping ratio is ξ 013

Figure 24 is a photo of the PTRMDdevice Two steel stopplates were fixed on the curved orbit to act as stroke-limitingstops for the freely moving impact mass -e curved trackwas made of an aluminum alloy plate -e side baffles weremade from acrylic-based resins that allowed the ball to roll inthe direction of the structural vibration -e parameters ofthe PTRMD are listed in Table 4

Experiments were performed to cover two cases First ofall a free-vibration experiment was carried out by applying

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

-e following cases illustrate the control performance ofthe PTRMD in reducing the MDOF structural response

Case 1 free vibration -is case investigates the freedecaying response of the controlled MDOF structurewith initial nonzero displacement -e frequency of thePTRMD is tuned to the first modal frequency to attainan optimal effectCase 2 forced vibration-is case investigates the forcedharmonic response of the controlled MDOF structuresubject to a sinusoidal excitation F 2000 sin(ω1 middot t) atthe top floor and ω1 1HzCase 3 robustness analysis -is case investigates therobustness of the PTRMD with three different detunedfrequencies (083 098 and 113Hz)

41 Free Vibration -e stroke-limiting angle imposed bythe pounding mechanism may have a significant influenceon the control effect Figure 11 shows the displacement rootmean square (RMS) of the top story with an initial dis-placement 0015m One can observe that the RMS decreasesrapidly as increasing θm until θm 010 rad after this theRMS increases rapidly as increasing θm and finally reaches astationary value -e preceding results could be anticipatedsince an excessively small clearance (2θm) between thepounding boundaries may lead to ineffective collisions in-creasing whereas a large clearance may deactivate thepounding mechanism -erefore the optimal poundingangle θm 010 rad is adopted in this case

In Figures 12(a) and 13 the dynamic responses of thestructure without control with a TRMD and with a PTRMDare compared It can be seen that a PTRMD provides distinctadvantages regarding the displacement and accelerationreduction when compared to a TRMD with the same pa-rameters Specifically both the TRMD and PTRMD havelimited control effect at the beginning phase of the responseAfter that the displacement and acceleration of the structurewith the PTRMD are significantly reduced On the contrarybecause oscillator-path friction is assumed to be zero eventhough a TRMD can absorb energy from the structure quitefast it cannot dissipate the absorbed energy through aneffective damping mechanism Again the TRMD absorbedenergy transfers to the structure and finally makes thestructure response exhibiting the so-called beat behaviorAccording to the authorsrsquo previous studies the amplitude ofthe beats may be smaller but still exists if oscillator-pathfriction is considered As for the PTRMD although theresponse mitigation rate is slower than the TRMD no beatbehavior is observed in the response -e rotation angle of

the oscillator shown in Figure 12(b) does not exceed thelimitation of the small quantity assumption which is oftenregarded as 03 rad (or about ca 20deg) -e rotation angle ofthe oscillator shows that it is reasonable to use the smallquantity assumptions for a linearized equation of motion

429e ForcedVibrationCase Using a similar method as inSection 31 one can determine the value of the poundingangle θm to be 021 rad Figures 14 and 15 display the topstory responses of the structure with and without a PTRMDwhen the excitation is a sinusoidal wave Compared to thedisplacement of the TRMD whose peak value at the topfloor decreased from 008m to 006m the displacement forthe PTRMD is much smaller at 002m A similar conclusionis visible in the acceleration response In this situation thePTRMDperformed better because the poundingmechanismprovides an additional control mechanism

Figure 16 shows the control effect of the TRMD andPTRMD in the frequency domain where the horizontal axisdenotes the frequencies of harmonic excitations and thevertical stands for the response amplitude at the stationarystage It is seen that the PTRMD performed better perfor-mance over a wide frequency range Although at a specificfrequency interval for example at 098Hz the displacementof the structure with the TRMD is smaller than it is with thePTRMD and the PTRMD displayed better control for theranges 09 to 096Hz and 099 to 11Hz

43 9e PTRMD with Detuned Frequencies -e robustnessof the PTRMD and TRMD can be investigated by detuningtheir natural frequencies Both free vibration and forcedvibration are considered

Figures 17 and 18 show the free vibration of the structurewith differently tuned TRMDs and PTRMDs -e optimallytuned PTRMD (ie at 096Hz) decreases the RMS of thedisplacement by 442 However detuned PTRMDs exhibitdifferent performance Specifically the response RMS re-duction ratio of the structure with a 110Hz PTRMD is419 and with a 082Hz PTRMD it is only 93 Contrarilythe optimally tuned nonfriction TRMD reduced the RMS ofthe displacement response by 317 Figure 19 further il-lustrates the relationship between the vibration reductionratio and the detuning ratio-e preceding results imply thata PTRMD outperforms a nonfriction or low-friction TRMDfor vibration control

Figures 20 and 21 show the response of the structurewhen subjected to sinusoidal excitation with the same fre-quency as in Section 42 Consider PTRMDs with threefrequencies including optimally tuned at frequency 10Hzand two detuned frequencies at 115Hz (+15) and 085Hz(minus15) For the optimally tuned frequency the peak dis-placement is reduced by 713 whereas for plusmn15 detunedfrequencies it is reduced by 575 and 671 respectively Itcan be concluded that the detuned frequencies have a limitedimpact on the performance of a PTRMDwhen the excitationis a sinusoidal wave It can also be seen from Figure 22 thatthe vibration control performance of the PTRMD de-teriorated less than that of the TRMD when the dampers aredetuned

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

an initial displacement to the structure and then releasing it-en the shaking table tests with different earthquake ex-citations were conducted

52 Experimental Results -e responses of the PTRMD-controlled structure are compared to the responses of theuncontrolled structure to verify the effectiveness of thePTRMD model Figure 25 relates to the free vibrationscenario As can be seen at the beginning of the responsethe displacement mitigation performance of the damper israther limited As time goes on the damper exhibits sig-nificant performance improvement -e preceding obser-vation is reasonable since effective collision cannot beestablished until several cycles of oscillation Specifically thedisplacement amplitude of the controlled structure onlyreached 3mm whereas for the uncontrolled structure itreached 126mm after 10 s Note also that the wave shape of

the controlled response obtained by the experiment isconsistent with the one shown in Figure 12(a) qualitativelydemonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed damper

To quantify the vibration control performance one candefine the response reduction ratio as

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated

6 Concluding Remarks

A novel pounding tuned rotary mass damper (PTRMD)exclusively used for the voided biaxial slabs has been in-troduced in this paper -e proposed damper has beendeveloped by introducing the nonlinear pounding mecha-nism to the tuned rotary mass damper (TRMD) proposed bythe authors in previous studies Numerical analysis has beenused to investigate the control performance of the proposedPTRMD in reducing structural response Both single-de-gree-of-freedom (SDOF) and multiple-degree-of-freedom(MDOF) lumped-mass models have been used for thispurpose In the numerical analysis specifically the equationof motion of the controlled structure has been establishedusing Lagrangersquos equation while the pounding mechanismhas been described using a parallel connection of a lineardashpot and a spring (Kelvin model) -e PTRMD controlperformance has been studied quantitatively in different

cases including free vibration and forced vibration withsinusoidal excitation and seismic excitation An experi-mental study has been carried out to validate PTRMDcontrol performance obtained by numerical analysisAccording to the numerical simulation and experimentalstudy one may draw the following conclusions

(1) PTRMD outperforms the pounding mass damper(PMD) in reducing the response of an SDOF systemin the case of free vibration and sinusoidal excitationPTRMD exhibits comparably better performance inmitigating response of an SDOF system subject toearthquake excitations

(2) PTRMD cannot effectively reduce the responseamplitude at the early stage when the structure issubject to earthquake excitation -e control per-formance becomes significant after the poundingmechanism is completely activated
