Sensitivity Analysis of the Effectiveness of Tuned Mass Dampers to Reduce the Wind-Induced Torsional Responses

Abstract Use of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) to reduce the wind-induced torsional response of structures has been investigated in the literature by assuming that the wind excitations can be approximated by harmonic forces or white noise random processes; however, such an assumption is not realistic.
