摘要

A new type of pendulous tuned mass damper (TMD) with universal hinge, friction damping sheets and additional preloaded spring was presented to control the wind-induced vibration of a tower at the Henan Art Centre. A prototype TMD was designed and manufactured according to the dynamic parameters of the tower. Several tests were performed in laboratory to verify the dynamic performance. The TMD was then installed on the tower and the mechanical parameters were adjusted according to the on-site measured dynamic parameters of the tower. The studies indicate that the construction of the TMD is simple with strong stability and durability.
