Controlling Wind Response through a Fuzzy Controller
Publication: Journal of Engineering Mechanics
Volume 130, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to discuss the adoption of a fuzzy controller for the reference system proposed in the benchmark problem covering the wind response control of a tall building. The writers approach the problem by conceiving the fuzzy controller as receiving the input from two sensors and driving the single actuator which has been added, in the benchmark problem, to the initially passive control device. The numerical investigation requires that the actual behavior of a fuzzy chip is simulated and this aspect is implemented in the paper.
