Structural Vibration Control using Instantaneous Optimal Control

순간 최적제어에 의한 구조물의 진동제어

Recently, constructions of large and slender structures have been increased owing to the advancement of the structural technologies and that of the new light-weight and high-strength construction materials. Consequently, vibration problems of those slender structures have become a new issue in the area of structural engineering. Active control for those structures is the method that keeps the structures safe from the external loads, especially dynamic loads, by enforcing active forces derived from control devices. In this paper, a procedure for the instantaneous optimal control for structural vibration is presented. Numerical method and experiment are performed for evaluating the effectiveness of active control for reducing vibration of structures.
