Building (Vibration control)

Active vibration control of smart building frames by feedback controllers

In this paper the active vibration control of a four-story shear frame instrumented with piezoelectric actuators is presented. The piezoelectric actuators are hosted on the columns in two manners and the produced controlling forces by actuators are considered in the equation of motion. The smart structure modeling and control design is carried out using MATLAB software in state space form. Subs...

Advances in modeling and vibration control of building structures

This paper provides an overview of building structure modeling and control. It focuses on different types of control devices, control strategies, and sensors used in structural control systems. This paper also discusses system identification techniques and some important implementation issues, like the time-delay in the system, estimation of velocity and position from acceleration signals, and ...

Torsional Vibration of Eccentric Building Systems

Whole - Body Vibration Building Awareness in SH

Whole-body vibration (WBV) comprises the transfer of relatively low-frequency environmental vibration to the human body through a broad contact area. These frequencies are in the range of 0.5 to 80 Hz (ISO, 1997; ANSI, 2002). Transmission occurs through the feet when standing, the buttocks when sitting (most common scenario) or the entire body length when reclining in contact with the vibrating...
