Active Structural Control with Stable Fuzzy PID Techniques [Paperback]

This book presents a detailed discussion of intelligenttechniques to measure the displacement of buildings when they are subjected tovibration. It shows how these techniques are used to control active devicesthat can reduce vibration 6080% more effectively than widely used passiveanti-seismic systems.

After introducing various structural control devices andbuilding-modeling and active structural control methods, the authors proposeoffset cancellation and high-pass filtering techniques to solve some commonproblems of building-displacement measurement using accelerometers. The mostpopular control algorithms in industrial settings, PD/PID controllers, are thenanalyzed and then combined with fuzzy compensation. The stability of thiscombination is proven with standard weight-training algorithms. These conditionsprovide explicit methods for selecting PD/PID controllers. Finally, fuzzy-logicand sliding-mode control are applied to the control of wind-induced vibration.The methods described are supported by reports of experimental studies on atwo-story building prototype.

This book is avaluable resource for academic researchers interested in the effects of controland mechatronic devices within buildings, or those studying the principles ofvibration reduction. Practicing engineers working on the design andconstruction of any sort of high-rise or vulnerable building and concerned withthe effects of either wind or seismic disturbances benefit from the efficacy ofthe methods proposed.
