A　new　type　of　frictional　pendulum　TMD　is　designed.　The　wind-induced　vibration　of　Henan　Art　Center　Symbolic　Tower　with　and　without　TMD　is　analyzed.　The　structural　design　of　frictional　pendulum　TMD　is　presented　in　detail.　The　equivalent　analysis　model　is　established.　The　3D　analysis　of　the　symbolic　tower　is　established　using　SAP2000.　The　non-linear　LINK　unit　in　SAP2000　is　used　to　simulate　frictional　pendulum　TMD.　Then,　the　non-linear　analysis　of　wind　control　effectiveness　of　frictional　pendulum　TMD　is　carried　out.　The　analysis　results　demonstrate　that　optimal　frictional　force　can　be　chosen　according　to　design　wind　loads　and　the　control　effectiveness　can　be　over　30%　with　the　chosen　frictional　force　under　0.3　to　2　times　of　the　designed　wind　loads.　©　(2014)　Trans　Tech　Publications,　Switzerland.
