Analytic Solutions for the Stationary Seismic Response of Three-Dimensional Structures with a Tuned Mass-Inerter Damper and Bracket by Lin Deng, Cong Yao, Xinguang Ge

“…Finally, four numerical examples are presented to investigate the following: (1) verification of the proposed response solutions, showing that the calculation time of the proposed method is approximately 1/500 of that of the traditional method; (2) examination of spatial effects in 3D structures under unidirectional excitation, revealing that structural seismic responses in the direction along the earthquake ground motion is approximately 10⁴ times that in the direction perpendicular to the ground motion; (3) investigation of the spatial dynamic characteristics of a 3D structure subjected to unidirectional seismic excitation, showing that the bracket parameters significantly affect the damping effects on an EDS; and (4) application of the optimization method for the damper’s parameters that considers system dynamic reliability and different weights of the damper’s parameters as constraints, indicating that the most economical damping parameters can achieve a reduction in displacement spectral moments by 30–50%. …”
