A Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) is a mechanical device used to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations in structures, such as buildings or bridges. It consists of a mass that is suspended or mounted on a spring/damper system, which is specifically designed to counteract the vibrations produced by external forces, such as wind, seismic activity, or operational loads.
