  2. Tuned mass damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

    The graph shows the effect of a tuned mass damper on a simple spring–massdamper system, excited by vibrations with an amplitude of one unit of force applied to the main mass, m 1. An important measure of performance is the ratio of the force on the motor mounts to the force vibrating the motor, ⁠ F 0 / F 1 ⁠ .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Tower

    Shanghai Tower in 2021. The Shanghai Tower was designed by the American architectural firm Gensler, with Shanghainese architect Jun Xia leading the design team. [52] [53] The tower takes the form of nine cylindrical buildings stacked atop each other that total 128 floors, all enclosed by the inner layer of the glass facade. [5]

    [21] [26] With the tuned mass damper active, LeMessurier estimated that a wind capable of toppling the building had a one in fifty-five chance of happening any year. [27] [21] But if the tuned mass damper could not function due to a power outage, a wind strong enough to cause the building's collapse had one chance in sixteen of happening any ...

    They are known for their modular construction techniques including the Mah-LeMessurier System for precast concrete in high-rise housing, the Staggered Truss System for high-rise steel structures, and the tuned mass damper used to reduce tall building motion. [1] One of the best known uses of the damper is the John Hancock Tower in Boston.

  6. Stockbridge damper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockbridge_damper

    A Stockbridge damper is a tuned mass damper used to suppress wind-induced vibrations on slender structures such as overhead power lines, [1] long cantilevered signs [2] and cable-stayed bridges. The dumbbell -shaped device consists of two masses at the ends of a short length of cable or flexible rod, which is clamped at its middle to the main ...

  7. Centrifugal pendulum absorber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pendulum_absorber

    The distinction is significant since dampers reduce the vibration amplitude by converting the vibration energy into heat. Absorbers store the energy and return it to the vibration system at the appropriate time. [5] Centrifugal pendulum absorbers like tuned mass absorbers are not part of the force/torque flow.

  8. Seismic retrofit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_retrofit

    A slosh tank is a passive tuned mass damper. In order to be effective the mass of the liquid is usually on the order of 1% to 5% of the mass it is counteracting, and often this requires a significant volume of liquid. In some cases these systems are designed to double as emergency water cisterns for fire suppression.

    The series, known in Japan as Kami no Tō -Tower of God-(神之塔 -Tower of God-), premiered in April 2020 simultaneously in the countries of Japan, South Korea, and the United States. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The first season was produced by Telecom Animation Film , with Aniplex subsidiary Rialto Entertainment responsible for Japanese production, and Sola ...
