<div>Cumulative energy time history for TRoMaDaS-damped MDOF structure. Structure subjected to scaled El Centro (shown in (a) with peak acceleration = 1.026 m/s<sup>2</sup>) and Kobe (shown in (b) with peak acceleration = 1.026 m/s<sup>2</sup>) acceleration; TRoMaDaS oscillators are installed in the third (one ball) and the fourth floor (10 balls with equal mass) of 3% and 2% of the main structure mass, respectively.</div>
