Vibration Damping Design for High-Rise Buildings

In modern high-rise buildings, vibration damping design represents a crucial engineering task that effectively prevents structural collapse during severe earthquakes or wind disasters. This paper presents a vibration damping design methodology based on linear vibration theory, implemented using MATLAB's high-level programming language. The system architecture comprises one main program coordinating four specialized subroutines that work synergistically to perform structural dynamics calculations. The computational framework enables precise determination of building vibration frequencies and amplitudes through eigenvalue analysis and time-domain simulation algorithms. Based on these computed parameters, the system facilitates the design of appropriate damping measures to ensure structural stability and safety. Furthermore, the methodology incorporates optimization algorithms for structural refinement, enhancing both seismic resistance and vibration control performance. Key functions include modal analysis for natural frequency extraction, response spectrum calculation for seismic loads, and parametric optimization for damping device configuration. In summary, this vibration damping design approach provides a reliable and efficient computational solution that delivers critical safeguards for the safe operation of high-rise structures through scientifically-grounded engineering simulations.
