ACTIVE CONTROL OF SLIDING STRUCTURES

Sliding Mode Control for Single-degree-of-freedom Nonlinear Structures

The occurrence of catastrophic earthquakes necessitates further researches in the structure engineering for retrofitting construction structures. In this paper, the application of the active control in the structures’ seismic response has been addressed. A single degree of freedom nonlinear structure has been studied. The nonlinear dynamic of the structure is considered in which, the nonlinear ...

Active Control of Structures

In recent years a large large amount of work on the active control of the flexible structures has been done. The concrete engineering problems that motivate this study come from very different fields: aerospace, structures, meteorology, nanotechnology, etc. An overview can be found in the book of Fuller, Elliot and Nelson [5]. The problem of active vibration control (AVC) can be set in the fram...

Intelligent Sliding Mode Control in Flexible Structures

Synchronization of Chaotic Fractional-Order Lu-Lu Systems with Active Sliding Mode Control

Synchronization of chaotic and Lu system has been done using the active sliding mode control strategy. Regarding the synchronization task as a control problem, fractional order mathematics is used to express the system and active sliding mode for synchronization. It has been shown that, not only the performance of the proposed method is satisfying with an acceptable level of control signal, but...

Active Control in Structures

In this paper the application of control theory to structural engineering has been presented from a structural engineering perspective. The objective of this paper is to summarize key steps that are required to design an active control system for a structure. Total acceleration feedback with H2/LQG controller is used in this paper. The structural control device is made of tendon/pulley system. ...
