Modeling the Response of Structure–Tuned Liquid Damper Systems Under Large Amplitude Excitation Using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics

Abstract The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is a system used to reduce the response of tall structures. Numerical modeling is a very important tool when designing TLDs. Many existing numerical models are capable of accurately capturing the structure–TLD system response at serviceability levels, covering the range where TLDs are primarily intended to perform. However, these models often have convergence issues when considering more …
