Interval type-2 fuzzy α-plane minimax co-design of multi-tuned mass dampers for broadband vibration control under bounded uncertainty
Passive tuned mass dampers are effective near their design frequencies but can lose performance or exceed travel limits when structural properties are imprecise. This paper develops an interval type-2 fuzzy α-plane minimax method for the simultaneous allocation, tuning, and damping design of a three-absorber bank on a...
