Optimal Parameter of Tuned Liquid Column Damper attached to SDOF System Subjected to periodic loading

Abstract

Optimal parameter of tuned liquid column damper (TLCD )namely Frequency Ratio, Length ratio and Mass ratio are evaluated for single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) system fitted with TLCD. Equation of motion for the SDOF-TLCD system has written, it is dynamically coupled equation. Coupled equation of motion is uncoupled by applying orthogonally condition and each uncoupled equations are solved and response are combined to get maximum displacement. Response of system for different values of frequency ratio, Mass ratio and length ratio are evaluated and graphs are plotted. From the graph optimal parameters are evaluated and finally conclusions are drawn.
