CA 2531359

A pendulum arrangement for a Tuned Mass Damper utilizes a pair of generally equal masses, the masses being arranged so that first surfaces thereof face each other and second surfaces thereof face away from each other. A hinge structure is affixed to the first surfaces of the masses so as to hingedly connect the two masses together. Spaced apart tension members are connected at one end thereof to a supporting frame and at the other end to the hinge structure. Each one of a pair of compression members is pivotally connected at one end thereof to an upper portion of an adjacent mass and pivotally rests on a lower support surface. The masses are supported by the tension and compression members for limited swinging movement thereof with a substantially lower period that could be achieved within the same space with a conventional pendulum.
