Abstract
Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) used in seismic vibration control are positioned on the top of the structures and it is the optimum position for regular structures. For structure with different stiffness values for each story, the optimum place of a TMD may be different. In this study, the story position of TMD is also included as a design variable. In methodology, harmony search algorithm is employed. The stroke capacity of the TMD is also considered in the methodology. As a numerical example, a six story structure is investigated. The stiffness of the first two stories are lower than the following two stories. The last two stories have higher stiffness than the other ones. In that case, the optimum position is not the top story. For that reason, the position of TMD is an important design variable for irregular structures in rigidity.
