Abstract

This paper outlines the operation of hanging chain impact dampers and their use in reducing vibration amplitudes of tower and mast structures due to wind excitation. Hanging chain dampers are employed inside towers to increase their structural damping, thus reducing the amplitude of forced vibration and reducing the possibility of structural damage. Four case histories are examined which detail the design of individual chain dampers.
