Application of Magneto-Rheological Dampers in Tuned Mass Dampers for Floor Vibration Control

<p> The purpose of this research is to establish the effectiveness of tuned-mass-dampers (TMD) using semi-active magneto-rheological (MR) dampers to mitigate annoying floor vibrations. Annoying floor vibration is becoming more common in today's building structures since building material...
