In the present study, a semi-active tuned mass damper (STMD) with variable damping coefficient and stiffness is evaluated under seismic excitations. Variation of the damping ratio of the STMD is implemented through tracking the displacement of the STMD.If the tracked amplitude of the STMD is increasing, damping ratio of the STMD is set to zero, or else it is set to an appropriate nonzero value. Stiffness of the STMD is tuned through tracking the displacement of the primary structure, which is analyzed using a short-time Fourier transform-based control algorithm. Both far-field and near-fault ground motions are used to examine the effectiveness of the STMD and the control algorithm. Displacement time history and response (displacement and acceleration) spectra are obtained for the cases of an optimal passive TMD and an STMD. It is found that the STMD with variable damping ratio and frequency can effectively attenuate the seismic responses and outperform the optimal passive TMD. In addition, results are obtained for the case that damage occurs to the primary structure during an earthquake. The study indicates that the STMD controlled by the proposed algorithm can rapidly capture the variation of the structure and remains tuned with the primary structure, whereas the optimal TMD becomes off-tuned when damage occurs.
