【 摘 要 】

Liquid dampers, such as tuned liquid dampers (TLDs), are employed to improve serviceability by reducing wind-affected building vibrations. In order to maximize the vibration suppression efficiency of the liquid damper, the tuning frequency of the liquid damper should match the natural frequency of the building. Experimental evaluation of the tuning frequency of a liquid damper performed in a factory prior to installation in a building is a critical task to ensure correct performance, and for this, multipoint measurement of the TLD is required. In this study, a novel liquid level measurement system combining Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) and a stepwise rotating galvanometer scanner was developed to observe liquid sloshing in TLD. The proposed system can measure the liquid level at multiple points simultaneously with a single laser point. In the experimental phase, the liquid damper’s natural frequency and mode shape are experimentally evaluated utilizing the developed system. The performance of the proposed system was verified by comparison with the video sensing system.
