The Adaptive Tuned Mass Damper (ATMD) represents a significant evolution in vibration control technology. Moving beyond passive systems, our ATMD features real-time frequency and damping adjustment capabilities. This intelligent response ensures optimal performance under varying dynamic loads, making it the superior choice for structures facing complex or changing excitation sources. By leveraging a lower mass ratio (µ), it achieves remarkable vibration reduction of 60-80% with only 75-85% of the nominal mass required by conventional TMDs, delivering exceptional efficiency and performance.
Our ATMD builds upon the proven "resonant energy absorption" principle and elevates it with intelligent control.
Real-Time Sensing & Adaptation: Integrated sensors continuously monitor the structural response. An onboard control system processes this data and actively adjusts the ATMD's frequency and damping properties in real-time.
Precision Tuning for Changing Conditions: Unlike passive TMDs fixed to a single frequency, the ATMD can track and adapt to shifts in the structure's modal frequencies caused by factors like occupancy, wind speed, or temperature, ensuring it is always perfectly tuned for maximum effect.
Optimized Energy Dissipation: The adaptive damping mechanism adjusts its resistance based on the vibration amplitude, optimizing energy dissipation across a wider range of forcing conditions for superior broad-band control.
For pendulum TMDs the pendulum lengths, the pendulum supports and damping elements in the passive tuned mass damper are designed using a non-linear dynamic simulation of the structure.
Intelligent Adaptation & Superior Efficiency
Achieves 60-80% vibration reduction using only 75-85% of the nominal mass, significantly reducing the system's weight and structural load while maintaining top-tier performance.
Real-time tuning ensures peak effectiveness across a broader range of conditions, compensating for structural non-linearities and unforeseen dynamic responses.
Optimized Performance through Advanced Mass Ratio (µ) Design
Our engineering leverages the critical relationship between mass ratio and performance. An optimized mass ratio not only delivers greater vibration and bandwidth reduction but also effectively reduces the damper mass amplitude, allowing for a more compact design and enhancing the system's long-term stroke safety and reliability.
Precise & Widely Adjustable Frequency Tuning
The ATMD's frequency can be finely adjusted within a wide range, accommodating theoretical or construction deviations to ensure optimal vibration control.
Compact & Space-Saving Design
The ability to achieve superior performance with a lower mass results in a more compact and lightweight system, offering unparalleled space utilization and ease of integration.
Stable Performance & Superior Durability
Dual-Guide Mechanism for Enhanced Safety
This mechanism, combined with a reduced mass block amplitude, ensures exceptionally stable and safe operation, eliminating risks in non-vibrational directions.
High-Rise & Super-Tall Buildings: Ideal for mitigating wind-induced vibrations where load patterns change constantly.
Long-Span Bridges & Footbridges: Excellently controls vibrations from varying traffic densities and pedestrian crowds.
Stadiums & Large Public Venues: Dynamically adapts to vibration inputs from different crowd activities and events.
Tall Structures & Wind Turbines: Effectively suppresses complex wind-induced vibrations across a range of wind speeds.
Precision Instrument Platforms: Provides a dynamically stable environment for the most sensitive equipment.
Our Adaptive Tuned Mass Damper (ATMD) is not just a damper; it's an intelligent vibration control system. It combines the proven principles of mass tuning with cutting-edge adaptive technology to deliver unmatched efficiency, performance, and reliability. By achieving more with less mass and adapting in real-time, the ATMD provides a future-proof solution for the most demanding structural challenges, ensuring lasting safety and comfort.
