A State-of-the-art Review on Active Control of Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
An updated state-of-the-art review on response-triggered structural control system is presented. The review mainly focuses on the active control of structures for earthquake excitations, and covers theoretical backgrounds of different active control schemes, important parametric observations on active structural control, limitations and difficulties of their practical implementation, and brief descriptions of three actively controlled tall buildings in Japan. A brief introduction of more promising semi-active control of structures is also presented.

Base Isolation Systems – A State of the Art Review According to Their Mechanism
Seismic isolation is a method to reduce the destructive effects of earthquakes on a structure in which the structure is separated from its foundation by devices called seismic isolators. As a result, the horizontal movements of the earthquake transmitted to the structure are reduced. The seismic isolation is used for both newly constructed structures as well as for retrofitting the existing bui...
متن کاملSemi-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 کاملA state-of-the-art review of mechanical rock excavation technologies
The first step in mining activities is rock excavation in both mine development and production. Constant pressure for cost reduction and creating an improved/safe work environment for personnel has naturally resulted in increased use of mechanical excavation systems in many mining operations. Also, mechanical excavation and mining is more compatible with automation, meaning possibility of reduc...
متن کاملAssessment of the conventional control algorithms and proposing a modified displacement feedback control for performance-based design of structures
An enhanced displacement feedback structural control procedure is presented for performance-based design in this paper. At first, a comparative study is implemented assessing three most common active control algorithms including state, acceleration, and displacement feedback controls. The advantage of the displacement feedback algorithm for active control of structures against earthquakes is de...
متن کاملA Review of the Control Techniques for Brushless Direct Current Motors (REVIEW PAPER)
This paper surveys the literature of the brushless DC motor speed control techniques. The paper should prove useful to both researchers as well as practising engineers as a signpost to the current state of the art. Based on the review some further studies are suggested.
