Semi-active Control of Building Structures using Variable Stiffness Device and Fuzzy Logic
Semi-active control devices, also called “Intelligent” control devices, constitute the positive aspects of both the passive and active control devices. A semi-active control strategy is similar to the active control strategy, but this control device has been shown to be more energy-efficient than active devices. A particular type of semi-active control device, the Variable Stiffness Device (VSD...
متن کاملVariable-Leg-Spring Hopping with Velocity-Dependent Stiffness
Even though biological legs operate amazingly springlike, they clearly deviate from a perfect spring. For instance, experimental data of human hopping and running suggest an increase in leg length and a decrease in leg stiffness between touchdown and takeoff. Here, this variability of human gait is considered as a fundamental system property and introduced via non-constant leg parameters to a 1...
متن کاملA Semi-Active Variable Stiffness and Damping System for Vibration Control of Civil Engineering Structures
This paper proposes a new semi-active variable stiffness and damping system (AVSD) for vibration control of civil engineering structures. The AVSD system can alter rigidity and damping of the controlled structure at each control interval to attenuate the structural responses. The composition of two hydraulic cylinder-piston systems of the AVSD system is capable of amplifying the interstory drif...
متن کاملBuckling Analysis of Variable Stiffness Composite Laminates by Semi-Analytical Finite Strip Method
Plates made of laminated composite materials with variable stiffness can have wide applications in various branches of engineering due to such advantages as high strength /stiffness to weight ratio. In these composites, curved fibers are used to reinforce each lamina instead of the straight fibers. In this paper, the application of finite strip method for the buckling analysis of moderately thi...
متن کاملA modular soft manipulator with variable stiffness
This paper presents the design of a single module composing a modular soft variable stiffness manipulator for minimal access surgery. The module exploits flexible fluidic actuation for obtaining multi directional bending and elongation capabilities. A novel flexible crimped braided sheath is introduced in order to increase the performances of the flexible actuator. Granular jamming based stiffe...
