Abstract: Under extreme environmental loadings such as winds, waves, and earthquakes, civil engineering structures are known to undergo large vibration responses, often resulting in severe damage. Recent developments in active ...

Abstract: This paper discusses frequency domain optimal control strategies for active control of civil engineering structures under seismic loading. The basic problem formulation is presented, and a description of two specific ...

Abstract: Semiactive control devices have received significant attention in recent years because they offer the adaptability of active control devices without requiring the associated large power sources. Magnetorheological (MR) ...

Abstract: Most of the current research in the field of structural control for mitigation of responses due to extreme environmental loads does not directly account for the effects of control-structure interaction and actuator/sensor ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study of the stage-3 benchmark problem for response control of wind-excited tall buildings based on the linear quadratic gaussian (LQG) approach, and on its generalization, the

Abstract: To date, most of the current active structural control strategies for aseismic protection have been based on either full-state feedback (i.e., all structural displacements and velocities) or on velocity feedback. However, ...
