Introduction
The importance of reducing vibration amplitudes of structures under rare but severe loadings is well recognized. In the last decades, a fast increase in the development and application of passive energy dissipation devices, such as viscoelastic dampers, viscous fluid dampers, metallic yield dampers, friction dampers, and tuned mass dampers (TMDs), has been observed (Soong and Dargush 1997). One of the main applications of such devices is to reduce the dynamic response of structures subjected to strong earthquake ground motions.
To achieve the best structural performance, attention has been focused on determining the optimum parameters of TMDs in structures subjected to seismic excitation. Sadek et al. (1997) presented a methodology to find optimum parameters of TMDs for single degree of freedom (SDOF) and multiple degree of freedom (MDOF) structures subjected to a number...
