About this document
TMDs and Viscous Dampers Overview by mgilbel is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides information on tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and viscous dampers from Maurer. It introduces why these devices are necessary to dampen vibrations in tall, flexible structures. It describes the functions of TMDs and viscous dampers, noting that they are installed where vibrations are greatest and work by counteracting structural displacements through an adapted moving mass, springs and damping element. The document emphasizes the importance of properly adapting the TMD characteristics like
