Abstract

In recent years, the semi-active control of structural vibrations has interested several researchers. It has been demonstrated that semi-active control strategies are economical solutions for the safety of structure against earthquake or wind excitations. In this study, a semi active device which utilizes the Magneto-Rheological fluid characteristics to dissipate the earthquake excitation energy is proposed. The Magneto-Rheological damper is adopted to control the undesired vibrations of an earthquake-excited structure. Furthermore, a sliding mode controller coupled to the Clipped optimal algorithm is proposed to control this semi-active device. Otherwise, the sliding mode controller is reinforced by an adaptive gain law and the effectiveness of the new proposed adaptive controller to control the structural earthquake vibrations is proved by the compared numerical simulation results of the controlled and uncontrolled structure. Thus, the improvement of the sliding mode controller through the adaptive gain law is proved by the evaluation indices of an excited three-story scaled structure. Hence, a comparison between the results of the proposed adaptive sliding mode controller and the uncontrolled structure under the El Centro 1940 and the Boumerdès 2003 earthquakes excitations are discussed.
