Result: Design Optimization of Tuned Liquid Dampers with Hybrid Algorithms
Further Information
Tuned liquid damping devices are a low-cost, passive control system that does not require an external energy source and is effective in damping the dynamic vibrations of structures. Tuning the damper tank geometry and device parameters is important in optimizing the efficiency to be obtained from the control. In this study, tuned liquid damper (TLD) device parameters were optimized with algorithms created by hybridizing metaheuristic algorithms to minimize the structure movement. For this purpose, Jaya (JA) and Teaching-Learning Based Optimization (TLBO) algorithms were hybridized. By optimizing the properties of the TLD, the maximum displacement and total acceleration values of the structure under the critical earthquake record were reduced. In light of the results obtained, it was determined that hybrids may increase the performance of the algorithm in some cases. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
