A novel approach to the optimum design of MTMDs under seismic excitations

Summary This paper presents an efficient single‐stage scheme for the global optimization of multiple tuned mass dampers subjected to seismic excitations. To take into account the oscillators' vertical and horizontal distribution, the use of the ground structure concept is proposed. This procedu...
