Abstract

Tuned mass dampers serve the purpose of damping vibrations of structures such as earthquake-induced vibrations. In their design, two types of uncertainty are relevant: the stochastic excitation (e.g. earthquake record) and the inherent uncertainty of internal parameters of the devices themselves. This paper presents a new framework that admits the combination of stochastic processes and interval-type parameter uncertainty, modelled by random sets. The approach is applied to show how the efficiency of tuned mass dampers can be realistically assessed in the presence of uncertainty.
