    Abstract. An inerter is a mechanical element that generates inertial forces proportional to the relative accelerations of its two terminals. The apparent mass of the inerter can be thousands of times larger than its physical mass, which enables to realize the lightweight modification of conventional dynamic vibration absorbers. Thus, the inerter has recently drawn widespread attention of civil engineering researchers and various inerter-based dynamic vibration absorbers (IDVAs) have been developed. In the optimization of IDVAs, previous studies have mainly focused on the response control performance at the targeted resonant frequency neglecting the influence of IDVAs on other frequency regions. It is acceptable for the response control of single-degree-of-freedom structures, but for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures, it could weaken the validity of the optimization results. Compared to a linear viscous damper (LVD), the energy dissipation efficiency of the IDVA is significantly amplified at the targeted resonant frequency, whereas at other frequencies, it declines to i) almost the same value as the LVD or ii) nearly zero. It implies that the IDVA has a strong frequency-dependent energy dissipation capability and the frequency dependency of the IDVA is totally different from that of the LVD. This paper investigates the influence of the frequency dependency on the performance of two typical IDVAs, the tuned viscous mass damper (TVMD) and the tuned inerter damper (TID). Through complex modal analysis and numerical simulations, it can be found that due to the frequency dependency, the TVMD differs significantly from the TID in mitigating inter-story drifts and floor accelerations of MDOF structures.
