viscoelastic damper
Passive Damping devices with indirect
energy dissipation
1. Tuned Liquid Dampers
• TLD typically a solid concrete or metal block act as secondary
mass, although in some cases a deep tank filled with water
serves the same purpose, additional springs and damper are
used to attach this secondary mass to the primary structure.
• The TLD absorbs vibration energy by sloshing motion of
liquid contained in a vessel and dissipates it through intrinsic
friction of the liquid , floating particles, collision of the
particles , etc.
2. Tuned Mass Damper
• The TMD is attached to a structure in order to reduce
dynamic response of the structure.
• In the friction damper design of bracing and connections is simple and economical.
There is nothing to damage, or leak.
• Friction dampers are also compact in design and can be easily hidden within wall
partitions.
