The invention discloses a variable-rigidity and variable-damping
tuned mass damper, which is mainly applied to
vibration control over multi-frequency structures such as high-rise buildings or long-span bridges, ocean platforms and the like. The
tuned mass damper comprises a
mass block, wherein a vertical spring is connected to the upside of the
mass block in a vertical direction, and magnetorheological dampers are respectively arranged on the
mass block in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction; and a
cantilever spring is arranged horizontally and longitudinally, one end of the
cantilever spring is connected with the mass block, the other end of the
cantilever is connected with a traveling mechanism. Two ends of the traveling mechanism are placed on a rigid guide rail, and the traveling is driven by a stepping motor to move longitudinally. The length of the cantilever spring is regulated by the movement of the stepping motor, so that the tuning frequency of the
tuned mass damper is further regulated; and by regulating currents of the magnetorheological dampers to change the
damping ratio of the tuned mass
damper, the rigidity and the damping are regulatable continuously, so that the
vibration control in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The variable-rigidity and variable-damping tuned mass
damper disclosed by the invention has a clear working principle and has the advantages of easiness for realizing semi-
active control property, good damping effect, fast response, high precision and the like in
engineering application.
