Evolutionary Computation-Based Active Mass Damper Implementation for Vibration Mitigation in Slender Structures Using a Low-Cost Processor

H∞ robust control design of active structural vibration suppression using an active mass damper

A mathematical model of any real system is always just an approximation of the true, physical reality of the system dynamics. There are always uncertainties in the system modeling. This paper outlines a general approach to the design of an H∞ control of an active mass damper (AMD) for vibration reduction of a building with mass and stiffness uncertainties. Linear fractional transformation (LFT)...

Implementation of Low-Cost Architecture for Control an Active Front End Rectifier

In AC-DC power conversion, active front end rectifiers offer several advantages over diode rectifiers such as bidirectional power flow capability, sinusoidal input currents and controllable power factor. A digital finite control set model predictive controller based on fixed-point computations of an active front end rectifier with unity displacement of input voltage and current to improve dynam...

the optimal tadas damper placement in moment resisting steel structures based on a cost-benefit analysis

in this paper, the optimal location and characteristics of tadas dampers in moment resisting steel structures, considering the application of minimum number of tadas dampers in a building as an objective function and the restriction for destruction of main members is studied. genetic algorithm in first generation randomly produces different chromosomes representing unique tadas dampers distribu...

Optimization of Tuned Mass Damper Parameters Using Evolutionary Operation Algorithm

Optimum parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) are determined in this paper to minimize dynamic response of a multi-storied building system. The response of the structural system is simulated under lateral excitation. To optimize dynamic parameters of the TMD system for minimum top deflection of the structure, a numerical global optimization algorithm called Evolutionary Operation (EVOP) is use...
