A Simple Active Control Algorithm for Earthquake Excited Structures
Abstract: A simple integral type quadratic functional is proposed as the performance index so that the optimal control policy is derived based on the minimization of the proposed performance index between the successive control instants by using the method of calculus of variations. The resulting optimal control law is applied to seismically excited linear buildings modeled as lumped mass shear frame structures. Active tendon actuators are considered as control devices. The performance of the proposed control (PC) is investigated when the example structure is subjected to three different seismic inputs and compared to the uncontrolled case and the classical linear optimal control (CLOC), which requires the solution of nonlinear matrix Riccati equation. It is shown by numerical simulation results that the PC is capable of suppressing the uncontrolled seismic vibrations of the linear structures and performs better than the CLOC.
