In the biological immunity, the immune system of organisms regulates the antibody and T-cells to protect the attack from the foreign materials which are virus, germ cell, and other antigens, and supports their stable state. It has similar characteristics that has the adaptation and robustness to overcome disturbances and to control the plant of engineering application. In this paper, we build a model of the T-cell regulated immune response mechanism. We have also designed an immune response controller(IRC) focusing on the T-cell regulated immune response of the biological immune system that include both a help part to control the response and a suppress part to adjust system stabilization effect. We show some computer simulation to control the vibration of building structure system with strong wind forces excitation also demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller for applying a practical system even with existing nonlinear terms.

This paper proposes a GA-based optimal fuzzy control technique for the vibration control of earthquakeexcited adjacent structures interconnected with semi-active magneto-rheological(MR) dampers. Rule-based fuzzy logic controllers are designed first by implementing heuristic knowledge and the genetic algorithm(GA) is then introduced to optimally tune the fuzzy controllers for enhancing the seismic performance of semi-active control system. For practical implementation, the fuzzy controller simply uses locally measured responses of the dampers involved and directly returns the input voltage to the magneto-rheological dampers in real time through the fuzzy inference mechanism. The local measurement based fuzzy controller provides optimal damping force in a decentralized manner so that it does not require a primary central controller unlike the conventional semi-active control techniques. As a result, it can avoid the unbridgeable discrepancy between the desired control force and the actual damper force that may occur in the conventional control approaches. The validity and effectiveness of the proposed control method are shown numerically on two 20-story earthquake-excited buildings interconnected with MR dampers.

A system, featuring the electromagnetic levitation actuator for control in the vertical direction, of active microvibration control was proposed. The main components of this system are a vibration isolation table with built-in acceleration sensors for detecting microvibration, electromagnetic levitation actuators with built-in permanent magnets and electromagnets, and a digital controller with high precision signal converters.

On the basis of theoretical studies on the effect of the cylinders attached to semi-infinite screens, the tangential sound power-transport parallel to the surface of the attached cylinder is minimized by means of a secondary sound field, which is generated from a part of the attached cylinder. The numerical study shows the possibility of deflecting the incident sound by minimizing the sound field of the upper sections. The acoustical shadow region was more pronounced in both near- and far-field compared to the passive case with rigid surface, i.e. without active control. For a relatively wide frequency range it was possible to enhance shielding effects only with few secondary sources and error microphones. In this paper effects of control parameters on the actively controlled sound field near the top edge of noise barriers are studied. Results of numerical study and model measurements are shown and discussed.

This paper is concerned with the active vibration control of plate system using electromagnetic force actuator. The transfer function from the force input to the bending displacement was obtained via modal analysis results. Control algorithm are proposed and implemented on the experimental setups to show their efficacy. In this paper, the genetic algorithm is used to design a $H_2$ controller. Effectiveness and performance of the designed controller were verified by simulation and experiment results.

This paper presents the control and the performances of a $H_2$ controller for active vibration control of a cantilever beam. Electromagnets are used as actuators and a laser sensor is used to measure the position of the bending beam. The transfer function of the beam is obtained via the modal analysis of the free vitiation equation. The performance of the controller are verified by experimental results.

This study focuses on the element configuration of hybrid mounts which are combined with passive elements and active elements. The seven configurations are presented according to connection of an active element to a passive element. The dynamic characteristics and control performance of them are investigated qualitatively using Bode plots. With reference to the transmitted force from internal to external, three cases are selected. In addition, some numerical simulations for the three cases are carried out to confirm the performance quantitatively. Based on this research results, a novel hybrid mount with excellent performance will be able to be developed.

Past research has repeatedly demonstrated the fact that hydraulic semiactive systems, if operated Properly, can provide levels of control authority in structural vibration control systems that are comparable to a fully active hydraulic damper. The performance of the semiactive system when used to provide vibration mitigation for a laboratory test structure is described in this paper Numerical and experimental verification of the effectiveness of the proposed bistate controller which relies on a Lyapunov approach that seeks to dissipate the energy of the system is also presented. The results based on the bistate control are compared with those of two different control strategies. The work indicates that hydraulic semiactive actuator provides a reliable, and inexpensive means of achieving structural control.

This paper presents an approach to define an optimal piezoactuator length to actively control structural vibration. The optimal ratio of the piezoactuator length against the beam length when a pair of piezoceramic actuator and accelerometer is used to suppress unwanted vibration with direct velocity feedback(DVFB) control strategy is not clearly defined so far. It is well known that DVFB control can be very useful when a pair of sensor and actuator is collocated on structures with a high gain and excellent stability. It is considered that three different collocated Pairs of piezoelectric actuators (20, 50 and 100 mm long) and accelerometers installed on three identical clamped-clamped beams($30{\times}20{\times}1mm$). The response of each sensor-actuator pair requires strictly positive real(SPR) property to apply a high feedback gain. However the length of the piezoactuator affects the SPR property of the sensor-actuator response. Intensive simulation and experiment show the effect of the actuator length variation is strongly related with the frequency range of the SPR property. Thus an optimal length ratio was suggested to obtain relevant performance with a good stability under the DVFB strategy.
