How do you calculate the damping force of a tuned mass damper?

[liam1992]

For a report I am investigating whether a gyroscope could be used to stabilise the skyscraper Taipei 101 instead of the tuned mass damper, I have figured out how to set up the gyroscope but I need to calculate radius, speed of rotation etc. To do this I need to find the equivalent moment exerted by the tuned mass damper but I am unsure on how to do this.

I thought about possibly finding the damping force from the damper and then simply multiplying by the length of the cable, but I can't seem to find an equation to calculate what this damping force is.

Basically I just want to know if this is the right approach to take, if it is then I would like to know the equation to calculate the damping force and if not then how would I go about calculating the equivalent moment.

Thank you

.The calculation of the equivalent moment can be done with the following formula: Equivalent Moment = Mass * Acceleration * Distance. This equation is used to calculate the moment of inertia, or the amount of torque created by an object spinning at a certain speed. To calculate the equivalent moment for the tuned mass damper, you will first need to find the mass and the acceleration. The mass of the damper can be found from the manufacturer's specifications. The acceleration is determined by the speed of the damper and the distance it travels in a given time period. Once you have both of these measurements, you can then plug them into the equation above to calculate the equivalent moment.
