Abstract: The fluid inerter damper is a new type of vibration control device that has recently gained popularity in the field of civil-structural engineering. It consists of a fluid-filled chamber that is connected to the structure being protected. The device is designed to reduce the effects of dynamic loads such as earthquakes, wind, and traffic on buildings and other structures. In this review, we summarize the current state of research on fluid inerter dampers, including their working principle, design considerations, and application in civil-structural engineering. We also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this technology compared to other vibration control devices such as tuned mass dampers and viscous dampers. Overall, the fluid inerter damper offers several advantages, including low mass, low energy consumption, and high durability. It can effectively reduce the amplitude of vibrations in structures, improving their performance during extreme loading events. However, further research is needed to optimize the design of these devices for different structural applications and to explore their potential for energy harvesting and other innovative uses. In conclusion, fluid inerter dampers have significant potential for use in civil-structural engineering and offer an alternative to traditional vibration control devices. They represent a promising technology for reducing the risk of damage to structures during extreme loading events, and their use is expected to increase in the coming years as they continue to gain recognition within the engineering community.
