This paper proposes semi-active fuzzy control technique of magneto-rheological dampers for seismic response control of cable-stayed bridges. Through the fuzzy inference process, the proposed technique performs the semi-active control with the responses of MR dampers only. Moreover, differently from the conventional semi-active control technique, this technique does not require additional active controller for the primary controller, which provides a simple design process. in order to validate the control performance of the proposed technique, the semi-active fuzzy control technique is applied to the benchmark control problem of cable-stayed bridge and its control performance is compared with those of conventional semi-active control techniques. The comparative results show that the proposed fuzzy control technique can be an effective control strategy by efficiently and simultaneously reducing the mutual conflicting responses such as the shear forces and moments at the base of the lowers, longitudinal displacement of the deck, and tensions in the stay cables.

Vibration control devices are classified into passive, semi-active and active device. TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is one of the passive control device that is mainly used to reduce vibration level of building structure and bridge structure. In this study, the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of dome structures has been investigated. Because star dome structure has primary characteristics of dome structures, star dome structure was used as an example dome structure that is subjected to horizontal or vertical seismic loads. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that seismic response are influenced by vibration modes and it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure.

In this paper, a method for reducing seismic responses of adjacent buildings is studied that involves connecting two buildings with energy-dissipating devices, such as MR dampers. For the vibration control of the adjacent buildings, a fuzzy control technique with semi-active MR dampers is proposed. A fuzzy controller, which can appropriately modulate the damping forces by controlling the input voltage in real time, is designed according to the proposed method. To verify the validity of the proposed method, numerical simulations are performed. In the numerical simulations, historical earthquake records with diverse frequency contents and different peak values are used. For the purpose of comparison, an uncontrolled system, a passive control system and a semi-active fuzzy control system are considered. The comparative results prove the effectiveness of the proposed control technique, i.e. the numerical results show that the fuzzy controlled semi-active MR dampers can effectively reduce the earthquake responses of the adjacent structures.

Base isolation system is widely used for reduction of dynamic responses of structures subjected to seismic load. Recently, research on a smart base isolation system that can effectively reduce dynamic responses of the isolated structure without accompanying increases in base drifts has been actively conducted. In this study, a smart base isolation system was applied to an arch structure subjected to seismic excitation and its control performance for reduction of seismic responses was evaluated. In order to make a smart base isolation system, 4kN MR dampers and low damping elastomeric bearings were used. Seismic response control performance of the proposed smart base isolation system was compared to that of the optimally designed lead-rubber bearing(LRB) isolation system. To this end, an artificial ground motion developed based on KBC2009 design response spectrum was used as a seismic excitation. Fuzzy control algorithm was used to control MR damper in the smart base isolation system and multi-objective genetic algorithm was employed to optimize the fuzzy controller. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that the smart base isolation system can drastically reduce base drifts and seismic responses of the example arch structure in comparison with LRB isolation system.

In this study, the possibility of seismic response control of semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) for spatial structures has been investigated. To this end, an arch structure was used as an example structure because it has primary characteristics of spatial structures and it is a comparatively simple structure. A TMD and semi-active TMD were applied to the example arch structure and the seismic control performance of them were evaluated based on the numerical simulation. In order to regulate the damping force of the semi-active TMD, groundhook control algorithm, which is widely used for semi-active control, was used. El Centro (1940) and Northridge (1994) earthquakes and harmonic ground motion were used for performance evaluation of passive TMD and semi-active TMD. Based on the analytical results, the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of the arch structure and it has been shown that the semi-active TMD more effectively decreased the dynamic responses of the arch structure compared to the passive TMD with respect to all the excitations used in this study.

본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 MR감쇠기를 이용한 모드제어를 구현하고자 한다. 모드제어는 저차의 모드만을 이용하여 구조물의 진동을 제어한다. 따라서 토목구조물과 같은 자유도가 많은 대형구조물의 제어에 적합하며, 제어기의 설계 역시 다른 제어이론에 비해 간편하다. 모드제어에 대한 앞선 연구들이 많이 있음에도 불구하고, 반능동제어, 특히 MR감쇠기에 대한 모드제어의 성능에 대한 연구가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 MR댐퍼에 대한 효율성을 검토하기 위해서, 모드제어이론을 지진하중을 받는 구조물에 구현하였다. 센서로부터 측정된 응답을 이용하여 모드응답을 예측하기 위해 칼만필터를 구현하였으며, Spillover problem을 해결하기 위해 low-pass filter가 적용되었다. 수치예제를 통해 저차의 모드만을 제어함으로써, 구조물의 거동이 효과적으로 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 줄어드는 정도는 제어기의 가중치행렬과 칼만필터에 사용되는 센서에 의해 측정된 응답에 따라 다르다

Fuzzy supervisory control method is studied for the active control of earthquake excited structures. The proposed algorithm supervises and tunes previously designed control gains by evaluating the state of a structure through the fuzzy inference mechanism, which uses the information of relative displacements and velocities. Example designs and numerical simulations of earthquake exited three degrees of freedom structures are performed to prove the validity of the proposed control algorithm. Comparative results with conventional LQR method show that the proposed method is effective for the vibration suppression of earthquake excited structures.

In this study, a smart sky-bridge composed of MR damper and FPS has been proposed and vibration control performance of a smart sky-bridge for the connected buildings was investigated. To this end, 10-story and 20-story building structures connected by a smart sky-bridge were selected as example structures and El Centro and Kobe earthquakes, which have near and far fault ground motion characteristics respectively, were used for time history analyses. In order to effectively control the smart sky-bridge, fuzzy logic controller was developed and multi-objective genetic algorithm was used to optimize fuzzy logic controllers. Based on optimization results, it has been seen that there is a trade-off between seismic responses of 10-story and 20-story buildings and a suite of Pareto optimal solutions of fuzzy logic controllers for seismic response control can be obtained by multi-objective genetic algorithm. It is shown from numerical study that seismic responses of adjacent buildings can be efficiently controlled by using a smart sky-bridge.
