Vibrating Properties of a Magnetic Fluid Tuned Liquid Column Damper with Different U Pipes
A magnetic fluid tuned liquid column damper (MF TLCD) is a semi active damper that has a magnetic fluid column in U pipe as an additional vibration system. An MF TLCD can suppress structural vibrations at a wide frequency range by applying a magnetic field. In this study, we performed vibration experiments for three types of U pipes and assessed the effects on MF TLCD performance caused by different damping forces on the liquid column.
