Abstract
A system or structure subject to external mechanical dynamic loading excitations propagated within the system or structure comprising a fluid filled structure and a fluid volume operable to facilitate fluid flow about at least part of the structure. Excitations within the structure can be propagated throughout. The system can further comprise a tuned mass damper (TMD) located within the fluid volume. The TMD can leverage the viscous properties of the fluid to attenuate the excitations within the structure. The TMD can comprise a mass and a spring operably connected to the mass. The TMD can further comprise a fluid resistance facilitating fluid flow about the mass and the spring for damping and a secondary tuning device operably connected to at least one of the mass and the spring and the supporting fluid-filled structure.
