TMD (Tuned Mass Damper)

Its natural vibration frequency to match the dominant vibration frequency of the main structure using technical methods. Installed at a specific location, this device resonates with the structural vibration mode when the main structure is subjected to oscillations. Through this resonance, the TMD absorbs the structure’s vibrational energy, reducing uncontrolled movement and enhancing seismic performance.

Components of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD):

• Mass block,
• Supporting elastomers (or rails),
• Springs or dampers,
• Shock absorbers and load-balancing buffers,
• Supporting structures.

These systems are widely used in skyscrapers, bridges, and large engineering structures to control vibrations caused by external forces such as earthquakes and wind.

Key Features:

1. Minimal impact on the building’s functionality, with adjustablefrequency.
   
   • The frequency of the TMD can be tuned within a ±20% rangebased on specific needs.
   • Frequency adjustments can be made using dynamic test resultsperformed on-site to correct discrepancies from design orimplementation, ensuring optimal damping efficiency.
2. Equipped with a bi-directional guiding mechanis
   
   • Effectively eliminating unwanted oscillations and tilting in directions other than the main vibration axis.
3. Stable and controlled mechanical performance.
   
   • Designed to resist aging and fatigue, ensuring longterm durability
4. Compact and efficient structure,
   
   • Maximizing space utilization.
5. Easy installation, maintenance, and application.
