Wind-induced vibration control of tall TV towers using a part of the main structure as a vibration absorber substructure

The present paper proposes a new control strategy to mitigate wind-induced vibrations of tall TV towers. Based on the proposed idea, a part of the main structure of the tower is isolated and regarded as a dynamic vibration absorber. In order to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed system, t...

description The present paper proposes a new control strategy to mitigate wind-induced vibrations of tall TV towers. Based on the proposed idea, a part of the main structure of the tower is isolated and regarded as a dynamic vibration absorber.

The structure is modelled as a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) lumped mass vertical cantilever beam. The TMD system and the isolated substructure are modelled as a lumped mass connected to the upper observation deck by a parallel stiffness and damper system.
