土-结构动力相互作用对结构控制的影响

本文研究了土-结构动力相互作用对采取不同控制措施的结构控制效果的影响。文中首先建立了主动调谐质量阻尼器(ATMD)、半主动磁流变阻尼器(MR)和被动多重调谐质量阻尼器(MTMD)等三种结构控制措施在时域中的控制算法和控制律，然后基于子结构法，采用间接边界元方法，通过傅里叶变换，推导了分别安装三种结构控制措施的受控结构在频域中的运动方程，数值仿真分析了某36层高层建筑的地震反应及其控制效果。结果表明，当采用ATMD或MTMD控制时，考虑土-结构动力相互作用后结构地震反应有所减小；当采用MR控制时，考虑土-结构动力相互作用后结构地震反应有很大程度的减小。由此看来，在设计软土地基上高层结构的结构控制措施时，不考虑土-结构动力相互作用对结构控制效果的影响是偏于安全的。

基于H_∞范数的调液阻尼器在减震控制中的参数优化

基于H∞范数,提出了偏心结构利用调液阻尼器减震控制的一种新的优化设计方法。该方法将优化目标取为从地震动到结构响应的传递函数的H∞范数,利用调液柱型阻尼器(Tuned Liquid Column Dampers,简称TLCD)和环形调液阻尼器(Circular Tuned Liquid Column Dampers,简称CTLCD)来控制偏心结构在多维地震作用下的扭转耦联振动,采用遗传算法来对阻尼器的相关参数进行优化。这种优化方法无需求解结构运动方程,所得到的阻尼器最优参数也不依赖于特定的地震动。用一个12层的偏心结构作为算例进行优化计算,结果表明,利用本文提出的优化方法所得到的阻尼器最优参数,在不同场地条件下,对偏心结构的扭转耦联振动均具有明显的减震效果。     

基于市场机制结构控制策略的研究和应用进展

半主动控制装置以其廉价、耗能低及控制稳定性好的优势成为目前结构控制领域的研究热点,由此势必产生具有大量半主动控制装置形成的复杂的结构控制系统,但足对于由大量半主动控制装置组成的结构控制系统,其形式非常复杂。相比于传统的集中式控制策略,分布式控制策略更适应此类复杂系统的控制要求。而基于市场机制的控制策略（Market-basedControl,简称MBC）属于分布式控制策略,它利用市场来模拟复杂的控制系统,用销售商和消费者来代替控制器和能源输出,从而将整个控制系统离散化,利用自由市场经济对有限资源合理分配的特点,对结构的振动实施高效的控制。介绍了分布式控制的概念,回顾了基于市场控制理论的发展过程,重点介绍丁其在土木工程领域的应用,存在的问题及未来发展方向。

Control of seismic and operational vibrations of rotating machines using semi-active mounts

A dual isolation problem for rotating machines consists of isolation of housing structures from the machinevi brations and protection of machines during an earthquake to maintain their functionality. Desirable characteristics of machine mounts for the above two purposes can differ significantly due to difference in nature of the excitation and performance criteria in the two situations. In this paper, relevant response quantities are identified that may be used to quantify performance and simplified models of rotating machines are presented using which these relevant response quantities may be calculated. Using random vibration approach with a stationary excitation, it is shown that significant improvement in seismic performance is achievable by proper mount design. Results of shaking table experiments performed with a realistic setup using a centrifugal pump are presented. It is concluded that a solution to this dual isolation problem lies in a semi-active mount capable of switching its properties from ‘operation-optimum’ to ‘seismic-optimum’ at the onset of a seismic event.     

An off-and-towards-equilibrium strategy for vibrational control of structures

Traditional control strategies have difficulty handling nonlinear behavior of structures, time variable features and parameter uncertainties of structural control systems under seismic excitation. An off-and-towardsequilibrium （OTE） strategy combined with fuzzy control is presented in this paper to overcome these difficulties. According to the OTE strategy, the control force is designed from the viewpoint of a mechanical relationship between the motions of the structure, the exciting force and the control force. The advantage of the OTE strategy is that it can be used for a variety of control systems. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed strategy, the seismic performance of a three-story shear building with an Active Tendon System （ATS） using a Fuzzy Logic Controller （FLC） is studied. The main advantage of the fuzzy controller is its inherent robustness and ability to handle any nonlinear behavior of structures. However, there are no design guidelines to set up the corresponding control rule table for a FLC. Based on the proposed strategy for the FLC, a control rule table associated with the building under study is developed, which then allows formation of a detailed algorithm. The results obtained in this study show that the proposed strategy performs slightly better than the linear quadratic regulator （LQR） strategy, while possessing several advantages over the LQR controller. Consequently, the feasibility and validity of the proposed strategy are verified.     

Design approaches for active, semi-active and passive control systems based on analysis of characteristics of active control force

In this paper,the characteristics of forces in active control systems connected to adjacent levels of a building are analyzed.The following characteristics are observed:(1) active control can provide signifi cantly superior supplemental damping to a building,but causes a small frequency shift;(2) the linear quadratic regulator(LQR)-based control force is composed of an elastic restoring force component and a damping force component,where the damping force is almost identical to the total control force,howev...

A Semi-active Oleodynamic Damper for Earthquake Control. Part 2: Evaluation of Performance through Shaking Table Tests

Sine sweep and earthquake excitation tests have been performed on a one-story spatial steel frame building equipped with two identical semi-active assemblies described and fully characterized in a companion paper. The tests allowed identifying and validating simple mathematical models of the building in its passive configurations as well as in semi-active operation according to an energy storing and suddenly dissipating algorithm. In order to eliminate or at least attenuate the detrimental effects of control delays due to adopted software, electronic apparatus and mechanical inertia of variable dampers' moving parts, a simple ‘sine-fit’ prediction method was conceived, evaluated and adopted in subsequent tests. It is shown that, with adequate anticipation of device operation, the selected control algorithm produces a satisfactory reduction of building response compared to that obtained in passive configurations, with overall system efficiency practically independent of the earthquake input and related only to the properties of the semi-active assembly. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Predictive active control of MDOF structures

This paper presents a theoretical study of a predictive active control system used to improve the response of multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) structures to earthquakes. As an example a building frame equipped with electrorheological (ER) dampers is considered. The aim of the design is to find a combination of forces that are produced by the ER dampers in order to obtain an optimal structural response. The mechanical response of ER fluid dampers is regulated by an electric field. Linear auto‐regressive model with exogenous input (ARX) is used to predict the displacements and the velocities of the frame in order to overcome the time‐delay problem in the control system. The control forces in the ER devices are calculated at every time step by the optimal control theory (OCT) according to the values of the displacements and of the velocities that are predicted at the next time step at each storey of the structure. A numerical analysis of a seven‐storey ER damped structure is presented as an example. It shows a significant improvement of the structural response when the predictive active control system is applied compared to that of an uncontrolled structure or that of a structure with controlled damping forces with time delay. The structure's displacements and velocities that were used to obtain the optimal control forces were predicted according to an ‘occurring’ earthquake by the ARX model (predictive control). The response was similar to that of the structure with control forces that were calculated from a ‘known’ complete history of the earthquake's displacement and velocity values, and were applied without delay (instantaneous control).
