This research work proposes the use of a Tuned-Mass-Damper-Inerter (TMDI), which combines a new configuration of passive vibration control using an “Inerter”. This two-terminal mechanical flywheel device, based on the well-known Tuned-Mass-Damper (TMD), generates resistance forces proportional to the relative acceleration of its terminals. TMDI takes advantage of the “mass amplification effect” of Inerter to improve performance compared to TMD. For harmonically excited primary linear systems, closed-form analytical software is modeled to obtain optimal design and tuning parameters of the TMDI, using established methods. It is observed that, with proper distribution of the dampers, the TMDI system is more effective in suppressing vibrations close to the natural frequency of the uncontrolled primary system and is more resistant to the effects of detuning and misdistribution. Furthermore, the results of the modeled structures show the effectiveness of the TMDI, modeled as a classical damper, in suppressing the fundamental mode of vibration for linear MDOF structures. The incorporation of the Inerter in the proposed TMDI configuration can replace part of the vibrating mass, achieving lightweight passive vibration control solutions or improving structural performance. The solution proposed and modeled with traditional dampers behaves linearly, in line with current performance trends for minimally damaged structures protected by passive control devices. Additionally, optimized TMDI is applied for vibration suppression and displacement control, offering optimal seismic protection.
