A Novel Whale Optimization Algorithm for the Design of Tuned Mass Dampers under Earthquake Excitations
This paper introduces a novel methodology for the optimum design of linear tuned mass dampers (TMDs) to improve the seismic safety of structures through a novel Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA). The algorithm is aimed to reduce the maximum horizontal peak displacement of the structure, and the roo...
