In order to study the influence of traveling wave effect on the seismic response and damping effect of suspended structure, a series of\nshaking table tests of the 1 : 20 suspended structure have been carried out to compare and analyze the dynamic responses of\nsuspended structures under two points and a consistent input. The vibration damping effect and vibration reduction law of\nsuspended structure are discussed at different apparent wave velocity and in the different connection. The research shows that the\ndamping suspended structure has a good damping effect, and the amplitude reduction of the top displacement peak response is up to\n15%, which corresponds to smaller apparent velocities. Moreover, the upper bound of the maximum acceleration response at the\nstructuresâ?? top under nonuniform input motions equals that of the uniform motion. However, there is a hysteresis in the acceleration\nresponse under wave travelling excitations, and the smaller the apparent wave velocity, the more obvious the hysteresis.
