Integrated Seismic Design of Structure and Control Systems by Paolo Castaldo Pdf

The structural optimization procedure presented in this book makes it possible to achieve seismic protection through integrated structural/control system design. In particular, it is explained how slender structural systems with a high seismic performance can be achieved through inclusion of viscous and viscoelastic dampers as an integral part of the system. Readers are provided with essential introductory information on passive structural control and passive energy dissipation systems. Dynamic analyses of both single and multiple degree of freedom systems are performed in order to verify the achievement of pre-assigned performance targets, and it is explained how the optimal integrated design methodology, also relevant to retrofitting of existing buildings, should be applied. The book illustrates how structural control research is opening up new possibilities in structural forms and configurations without compromising structural performance.

An Impulse and Earthquake Energy Balance Approach in Nonlinear Structural Dynamics by Izuru Takewaki,Kotaro Kojima Pdf

Problems in nonlinear structural dynamics and critical excitation with elastic-plastic structures are typically addressed using time-history response analysis, which requires multiple repetitions and advanced computing. This alternative approach transforms ground motion into impulses and takes an energy balance approach. This book is accessible to undergraduates, being based on the energy balance law and the concepts of kinetic and strain energies, and it can be used by practitioners for building and structural design. This presentation starts with simple models that explain the essential features and extends in a step-by-step manner to more complicated models and phenomena.

Optimization of Tuned Mass Dampers by Gebrail Bekdaş,Sinan Melih Nigdeli Pdf

This book is a timely book to summarize the latest developments in the optimization of tuned mass dampers covering all classical approaches and new trends including metaheuristic algorithms. Also, artificial intelligence and machine learning methods are included to predict optimum results by skipping long optimization processes. Another difference and advantage of the book are to provide chapters about several types of control types including passive tuned mass dampers, active tuned mass dampers, tuned liquid dampers, tuned liquid column dampers and inerter dampers. Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are vibration absorber devices used in all types of mechanic systems. The key factor in the design is an effective tuning of TMDs for the desired performance. In practice, several high-rise structures and bridges were designed by including TMDs. Also, TMDs were installed after the construction of the structures after several negative experiences resulting from the disturbing sway of the structures. In optimum design, several closed-form expressions have been proposed for optimum frequency and damping ratio of TMDs, but the exact optimization requires iterative optimization approaches. The current trend is to use evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristic optimization methods to reach the goal.

Design of Optimal Feedback for Structural Control by Ido Halperin,Grigory Agranovich,Yuri Ribakov Pdf

Structural control is an approach aimed at the suppressing unwanted dynamic phenomena in civil structures. It proposes the use of methods and tools from control theory for the analysis and manipulation of a structure’s dynamic behavior, with emphasis on suppression of seismic and wind responses. This book addresses problems in optimal structural control. Its goal is to provide solutions and techniques for these problems by using optimal control theory. Thus, it deals with the solution of optimal control design problems related to passive and semi-active controlled structures. The formulated problems consider constraints and excitations which are common in structural control. Optimal control theory is used in order to solve these problems in a rigorous manner. Even though there are many works in this field, none comprise optimization techniques with firm theoretical background that address the solution of passive and semi-active structural control design problems. The book begins with a discussion on models which are commonly used for civil structures and control actuators. Modern theoretical notions, such as dissipativity and passivity of dynamic systems are discussed in context of the addressed problems. Optimal control theory and suitable successive methods are reviewed. Novel solutions for optimal passive and semi-active control design problems are derived, based on firm theoretical foundations. These results are verified by numerical simulations of typical civil structures which are subjected to different types of dynamic excitations.
