Abstract

The effect of randomness in system parameters on robust design of tuned mass damper (TMD) is examined in this work. For this purpose, mean and standard deviation based robust design optimization (RDO) scheme is suggested. The performance of TMD is evaluated using the percentage reduction of the root mean square (RMS) of the output displacement. Adaptive response surface method (ARSM) is used for the optimization and for the estimation of first two moments. In this context, moving least square (MLS) based regression technique is used for better fitting of the response surface. A comparative numerical study is conducted to show the effectiveness of the proposed method to improve the reliability of the controller.
