Abstract

Growing attention in recent decades has been devoted to implementation of methods of computational intelligence for seismic structural control synchronization of buildings and bridges, to reduce their responses to earthquakes. Seismic control synchronization is realized via programmable structural control at seismic excitations, with sensor technologies and synthesis of feedback control loads in regenerative force actuation network for protection of structures. The control synchronization with computational intelligence aims to return a structure with n-degree-of-freedom back to the equilibrium with dynamic switching commutation of actuator devices engaged in regenerative force actuation network. The network consists of a set of electromechanical devices positioned on different places into the structure. The synchronization is realized after activation when these devices absorb and dissipate a part of seismic energy. The actuator devices are connected with each other and their electronic help to share common electrical energy.
