Abstract
In this paper, a new energy-efficient semi-active hybrid bulk damper is developed that is cost-effective for use in
structural applications. In this work, the possibility of active and semi-active component configurations combined with suitable
control algorithms, especially vibration control methods, is explored. The equations of motion for a container bridge equipped
with an MDOF Mass Tuned Damper (M-TMD) system are established, and the combination of excitation, adhesion, and control
effects are performed by a proprietary package and commercial custom submodel software. Systematic methods for the
synthesis of structural components and active systems have been used in many applications because of the main interest in
designing efficient devices and high-performance structural systems. A rational strategy can be established by properly
controlling the master injection frequency parameter. Simulation results show that the multiscale model approach is achieved
and meets accuracy with high computational efficiency. The M-TMD system can significantly improve the overall response of
constrained structures by modestly reducing the critical stress amplitude of the frame. This design can be believed to build
affordable, safe, environmentally friendly, resilient, sustainable infrastructure and transportation.
