The Parameter Identification of Structure with TMD considering Seismic Soil‐Structure Interaction

Abstract

Parameter identification is of great significance for the postearthquake performance evaluation of structure equipped with tuned mass damper (TMD). However, the soil‐structure interaction (SSI) effects have not been considered in the parameter identification of structure with TMD yet, which influence the dynamic characteristics and seismic responses of structures. This paper aims at proposing a framework for identifying the physical parameters of soil‐structure‐TMD system. Firstly, the accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) algorithm is combined with the search space reduction (SSR) method. Then, the frequency response function and transmissibility function are adopted for output‐input and input‐only cases, respectively, and a simplified mechanical model for soil‐structure‐TMD system is employed. Next, the measured responses are used to identify the physical parameters of structure with TMD considering SSI effects. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed identification method is investigated, and the influences of frequency band and noise pollution on the identification performance are discussed. The results show that the proposed strategy can identify the system physical parameters accurately and quickly. It is worth noting that high frequency bands and noise pollution may lead to estimation error, especially for output‐only case.
