TMD Vibration Control Device 【For Wind Vibration, Resonance, and Earthquake Countermeasures!】
TMD type
It demonstrates high vibration control effectiveness in structures that are difficult to dampen, such as high-rise buildings and bridges!
Buildings/devices shaking can be troublesome. If you want to implement vibration control but don't know how... this is for you! Gelb Japan, with proven results in Europe and Japan, will propose the optimal device. What is TMD? It stands for Tuned Mass Damper. This device installs a weight (mass) to suppress vibrations of the target object. It is effective in both vertical and horizontal directions. As a passive type damper, it does not require power or other energy for operation, ensuring stable performance. It is effective for structures like cantilever balconies, where it is difficult to increase rigidity. Gelb's TMD has been used in the Millennium Bridge in London, UK, and has numerous achievements worldwide. (Target examples: bridges, stairs, stadium roofs, chimneys, masts, etc.)

Applications/Examples of results
Structures with large widths, such as bridges, stairs, and stadium roofs, as well as slender and tall structures like chimneys, antennas, and masts, are known to resonate with the natural frequency of buildings. Due to their dimensions, such structures have low natural frequencies and damping ratios, which can lead to vibrations caused by wind, human movement, other machinery, or earthquakes. By using the tuned mass damper (TMD) from GERB, it is possible to easily reduce such vibrations.
