This paper presents a parametric study on the control parameters of a Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) to reduce the seismic response of a simple framed structure with non-linear hysteretic behavior. A numerical model was implemented in MATLAB/Simulink to obtain the structural response and evaluate the contribution of each control parameter to the system. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the appropriate definition of some control parameters are crucial to reach rapidly and consistently the optimal TMD performance.
