| Abstract: | Liquid motions in shallow Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs) with rectangular, circular, and annular tanks, subject to harmonic base excitation, are measured experimentally. Using a Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) analogy, equivalent mass, stiffness and damping of the TLD are calibrated from the experimental results. These parameters are functions of the TLD base amplitude. Some important properties of the TLD are discussed on the basis of these results. |
