Abstract
A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a structural passive control device fixed on a structure and composed of a linear oscillator which natural frequency is tuned to that of the structure, or to the dominant resonance frequency. In this paper, an experimental TMD with adjustable stiffness and eddy current damping is proposed. The first step is to check if the dynamical properties of the proposed TMD are constant during the dynamic test and for different values of stiffness and damping. Therefore, the instantaneous modal parameters are evaluated by applying the continuous wavelet transform on the experimental data. Then, the TMD is set with optimal parameters and used to control vibrations of a frame scale model. The structure response with and without the TMD is evaluated from the experimental measurements in case of a shock applied to the top floor.
