A Bufferable Tuned-Mass Damper of an Offshore Platform against Stroke and Response Delay Problems under Earthquake Loads

A tuned-mass damper (TMD) is applied to ensure the safety and stability of an offshore platform in practice; however, damper stroke and response delay problems always result in intractable performances of vibration control while exposed to large earthquake loads. Therefore, this paper proposes a buf...
