Active-passive switching control on the basis of the AMD's kinematic energy

Abstract

In our paper Active-Passive Mass Damper are considered. The structure is the following; On the top of the vibration structure there are two additive cascaded masses, one mass denotes a Passive Mass Damper and the other one is an Active Mass Damper (AMD) on the passive mass damper. Switching control between TMD and AMD is expected better performance than ordinary AMD vibration control and TMD on the basis of the AMD's kinematic energy.
