Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Vibration-Suppression Efficacy in Spring Pendulum Pounding-Tuned Mass Damper by Qi Wang, Lipeng Zhang, Hongnan Li, Xin Guo

“…Originally proposed by the authors, the spring pendulum pounding-tuned mass damper (SPPTMD)—a novel nonlinear damping system comprising a spring pendulum (SP) and motion limiter that dissipates energy through spring resonance amplification and controlled mass-limiter impacts—was theoretically validated for structural vibration control. To experimentally verify its efficacy, a two-story, lightly damped steel frame was subjected to sinusoidal excitation and historical earthquake excitations under both uncontrolled and SPPTMD-controlled conditions. …”
