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...

semi-active base isolation system has been proposed mainly to mitigate the base drift of isolated structures while in most cases, its application causes the maximum acceleration of superstructure to be increased. in this paper, designing optimal semi-active base isolation system composed of linear base isolation system with low damping and magneto-rheological (mr) damper has been studied for co...

this study is investigated the optimum parameters for a tuned mass damper (tmd) under the seismic excitation. shuffled complex evolution (sce) is a meta-heuristic optimization method which is used to find the optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio for a tmd. the efficiency of the tmd is evaluated by decreasing the structural displacement dynamic magnification factor (ddmf) and acceleration ...

Purpose: Predicting body Center of Mass (COM) acceleration is carried out with more accuracy based on the acceleration of three joints of lower limb compared to only accounting joints of hip and ankle. Given that trunk movement during quite standing is noticeable, calculating trunk acceleration in model might increase prediction accuracy of COM acceleration. Moreover, in previous research studi...

This paper focuses on secondary frequency controlof large-scale power systems. First a centralized and a consen-sus control based distributed control law are presented, thena multi-level control law, named Multi-Level Power-ImbalanceAllocation Control (MLPIAC), for the large-scale power systemspartitioned into more than one region. The centralized anddistributed control ...
