Abstract

Based on the theoretical derivations of the free vibration problem for a cable-TMD system in the companion paper, a parametric study is carried out in the present paper to investigate the influence on the solutions, and thus the system modal damping and frequency, of the cable geometry-elasticity parameter, cable inclination, damper position, mass ratio, frequency ratio, damper damping ratio, and tuning mode. Emphasis is put on the system modal damping, as this is an important index of the performance of the TMD. The features and mechanisms of energy transfer and damping redistribution from the TMD to each mode of the cable-TMD system are also investigated and discussed.
