AB  - Tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI) is a device that couples traditional tuned mass dampers (TMD) with an inertial device. The inertial device produces resistance proportional to the relative acceleration at its two ends through its “inertial” constant. Due to its unique mechanical properties, TMDI has received widespread attention and application in the past twenty years. As different configurations are required in different practical situations, TMDI is still active in the research on vibration control and energy harvesting in structures. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research status of TMDI. This work first examines the generation and important vibration control characteristics of TMDI. Then, the energy harvesting performance of electromagnetic tuned mass damper inerter (EM-TMDI) is discussed. This work emphasizes the formation of a passive dynamic vibration absorber by coupling traditional TMD with inertial devices. This paper also summarizes the design and implementation of optimal vibration control and energy harvesting for TMDI. Furthermore, this paper details the applications of TMDI in the fields of bridges and building engineering. Finally, this paper summarizes the necessity of research on tuned mass-damper-inertia, the challenges faced currently, and future research directions, such as control of parameters in electromagnetic energy harvesting TMDI systems and low-cost TMDI.
