Abstract

The problems of the optimal location of viscoelastic (VE) dampers and determination of the optimal values of parameters of dampers are considered in this chapter. The optimal distributions of dampers in buildings are found for various objective functions. The optimization problem is solved using the sequential optimization method and the particle swarm optimization method. The properties of VE dampers are described using the rheological models with fractional derivatives. These models have an ability to correctly describe the behaviour of VE dampers using a small number of model parameters. Moreover, generalized classical rheological models of VE dampers are also taken into account. A mathematical formulation of the problem of dynamics of structures with VE dampers, modelled by the classical and fractional rheological models is presented. The results obtained from numerical calculation are also discussed in detail.
