establishing structural system dynamics equations and performing the dynamic characterization of the TSMP-S

vibration-damping performance of these two types of SMPD, through numerical simulations to compare the
damping effect of the conventional SMPD, TSMP-S, and PSMP-S on the controlled structures, and a series of
shaking table tests on controlled and uncontrolled structures to verify the effectiveness of SSMPD, TSMP, PSMP,
TSMP-S and PSMP-S for damping control of controlled structures under conventional earthquake and earthquake

best damping effect, with the advantages of increasing the tuning frequency band, achieving multi-order vi

selected for comparison, as shown in Fig. 8. The peak power spectra and
envelope area of the uncontrolled structure is much larger than those of
all types of SMPD structures. The peak power spectrum curve and en
velope area of the SSMPD are closer to PSDP-S and PSDP, while the
TSDP-S and TSDP structures are relatively smaller, which proves that the
structure equipped with tandem-shaped suspended double mass pen
dulums has a superior damping performance from the perspective of
energy dissipation. Compared with the suspended mass pendulum
damper without additional springs, the peak of the power spectra and
the envelope area of the structure of the series and parallel-shaped
double mass pendulums damper with additional springs are smaller.
For the comparison of the peak of the power spectrum and the envelope
area at the second-order frequency, the series and parallel-shaped
double mass pendulums damper with additional springs are signifi
cantly smaller, which adequately indicates that the suspended mass
pendulum damper with additional springs can more effectively improve
the damping capacity of the structure and play a multi-stage tuned
damping effect.
In order to verify the damping performance of various types of SMPD
more comprehensively, various seismic waves of different site types are
