The Quanser Active Mass Damper (AMD) is a bench-scale model of a tall building equipped with an active damper. It is ideal for studying the dynamic response of tall structures to high winds, seismic ground effects, and other disturbances, and for investigating control techniques to actively dampen the deflection of structures.
