An Efficient Global Optimization Approach for Reliability Maximization of Friction-Tuned Mass Damper-Controlled Structures by Fábio F. S. Nascentes, Rafael H. Lopez, Jose Eduardo S. Cursi, Rubens Sampaio, Leandro F. F. Miguel

“…It is now widely acknowledged that uncertainties inherent to the earthquake loading and structural parameters must be taken into account in the design process. In the case of friction-tuned mass dampers (FTMDs), this optimization under the uncertainty problem leads to the following issues: (a) the high computational cost of the objective function since we are dealing with time-dependent reliability analysis of nonlinear dynamical models and (b) the nonconvexity and multimodality of the resulting optimization objective function. …”
