Support for Pendulum Damper in Tower

This document outlines the design and analysis of a support system for a pendulum damper installed on a tower structure. The pendulum damper is a passive vibration control device that utilizes the principle of inertia to mitigate wind-induced oscillations in tall structures.

The support system must be robust enough to withstand the dynamic loads imposed by the pendulum's motion while ensuring smooth and controlled movement.

• Design considerations include:
• Material selection for strength and durability
• Connection details to ensure secure attachment of the damper to the tower
• Bearing arrangements to minimize friction and facilitate smooth pendulum oscillation

The analysis will involve finite element modeling to simulate the dynamic behavior of the support system under various wind conditions. This will allow for optimization of the design parameters to ensure effective vibration control and structural integrity.
