Optimization of Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers for Road Bridges Taking into Account Bridge-Vehicle Interaction, Random Pavement Roughness, and Uncertainties

<div>Vertical displacement at the bridge central node (node 18), as the vehicle moves along the bridge, for dynamic cases: without TMD (red curve), with 1 TMD optimized by the proposed method (magenta curve), with 1 TMD designed by Den Hartog’s method (gray curve), and with 1 TMD designed by Warburton’s method (cyan curve).</div>
