Abstract
The usage of tuned mass dampers is a practical technique for civil structures under undesired vibrations. Since earthquake or other excitations have random vibration with various frequencies, frequency domain responses of structures can be used in tuning of mass dampers. By the minimization of transfer function of the structure, the amplitude corresponding to the response frequency of the structure is minimized. Thus, the passive control of the structure is provided. The optimization problem is non-linear since the existence of inherent damping of the structure, possible solution range of tuned mass damper (TMD) and multiple modes of multiple degree of freedom structures. For that reason, three metaheuristic algorithms such as harmony search, flower pollination algorithm and teaching learning based optimization are compared in mean of performance and computation effort. All algorithms are feasible with significant possible advantages.
