Abstract

A retractable-roof system is frequently adapted to the spatial structure of stadiums and sports halls. The geometric shape and mass location are varied by opening or closing the roof, resulting in a change in the dynamic characteristics of the retractable-roof spatial structure. A passive tuned mass damper (TMD) shows good vibration control performance of the spatial structures when it is tuned properly. Because the closed or open roof condition of a retractable spatial structure causes off-tuning, multiple smart tuned mass dampers (STMD) were developed in this study to increase the control performance in the case of off-tuning. Initially, the dynamic characteristics variations of the opened or closed roof conditions were investigated using an example retractable spatial structure. The control performances of a passive TMD and smart TMD were evaluated under off-tuning conditions. For this purpose, artificial ground motion was generated based on the Korean Building Code (KBC) 2016. Multiple smart TMDs were comprised of magnetorheological (MR) dampers. A fuzzy logic control algorithm (FLC) was used to generate the command voltages sent to the MR dampers and the FLC was optimized by a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Numerical analyses showed that the smart TMD had better control performance than the passive TMD. In the case of the off-tuning condition, the difference in control performance between passive and smart TMDs increased.
