The use of tuned liquid dampers (TLDs) as an alternative to reduce the response of flexible structures with a low amount of structural damping is a viable option. The correct characterization of the dynamic properties of the TLD plays an important role in the performance of the TLD-main structure system. This work presents the results of an experimental study to evaluate the dynamic properties of a scaled rectangular TLD using high-speed videos. For the experimental investigation, a scaled rectangular TLD is subjected to lateral displacement of the sinusoidal type with amplitudes that range from 5 to 40 mm and frequency equal to 0.625 Hz. The dynamic properties of the TLD system are identified with the use of high-speed videos with a duration of 28.96 s and recorded at 500 frames per second (fps). The recorded videos are analyzed with the software Tracker to extract time histories of wave elevation at predefined locations. The frequency and damping of the TLD system are identified from the time histories of wave elevation through Fourier analysis and free-vibration decay. The findings of this study revealed that the identified dynamic properties of the TLD by using high-speed videos presented small differences with respect to the target values, with errors that range from 0.93 to 2.9% for frequency and from 1.6 to 8.8% for damping, indicating that the use of high-speed videos can be an alternative to evaluate the dynamic properties of TLD systems. |
