Abstract:

In this study, the application of type-1 and type-2 fuzzy inference system (FIS) in semi-active seismic vibration control of the College Bridge using magnetorheological (MR) dampers is investigated. For this purpose, a detailed 3D finite element model of the bridge fitted with MR dampers is created in OpenSees. The command voltage of MR dampers is determined by employing both types of FISs in Matlab environment and making connection between both software. The results show the higher performance of the type-2 FIS for reducing the undesirable vibrations than that of type-1. This is because of the fact that the type-2 FIS considers interval membership functions for inputs in order to obtain the command voltage of MR dampers. Moreover, type-2 FIS effectively includes the effect of uncertainties and time delay. The results demonstrate that type-2 fuzzy controller is capable of reducing further the maximum displacement, base shear, and moment of the bridge by 24.6, 22.8, and 39.25%, respectively, compared to the type-1 fuzzy controller.

Variable Impedance Control for Rehabilitation Robot using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic

In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...

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...

An optimal semi-active thermal exchange-Fuzzy logic Controller for Structural Dynamic Control and Rehabilation

The effect of intelligent semi-active thermal exchange-fuzzy controller in structural rehabilitation by attenuating seismic responses of structural systems is investigated. In the suggested control system, MR dampers and sensors are employed as a semi-active controller. Resultant control forces of MR damper are administrated by providing external voltage supply, during the earthquakes and high ...

The effect of semi-active controller in Sirri jacket seismic vibration control

The Sirri jacket offshore platform was designed and installed in Persian gulf of Iran in 1975 and has been in service since that time. The importance of offshore structure's stability and the failure of this kind of structure during an earthquake in different active zones revealed that earthquake loading has to be considered. In this paper, Magnetorheological (MR) fluid dampers have been propos...
