Optimum tuning conditions for damped TMDs attached to an undamped primary structure.

Loading case	Optimization criteria	Optimum tuning conditions
		Harmonic load applied to primary structure	Minimum relative displacement amplitude of primary structure
Minimum relative acceleration amplitude of primary structure
Harmonic base acceleration	Minimum relative displacement amplitude of primary structure
	Minimum absolute acceleration amplitude of primary structure
Random load applied to primary structure	Minimum root mean square value of relative displacement of primary structure
Random base acceleration	Minimum root mean square value of relative displacement of primary structure
