Abstract

Model uncertainties and actuator delays are two factors that degrade the performance of active structural control systems. A new robust control system is proposed for control of an active tuned mass damper (AMD) in a high-rise building. The controller comprises a two-loop sliding model controller in conjunction with a dynamic state predictor. The sliding model controller is responsible for model uncertainties and the state predictor compensates for the time delays due to actuator dynamics and process delay. A reduced model that is validated against experimental data was constructed and equipped with an electro-mechanical AMD system mounted on the top storey. The proposed controller was implemented in the test structure and its performance under seismic disturbances was simulated using a seismic shake table. Moreover, robustness of the proposed controller was examined via variation of the test structure parameters. The shake table test results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed controller at tackling the simulated disturbances in the presence of model uncertainties and input delay.
