Control of a Seismically Excited Benchmark Building Using Linear Matrix Inequality-Based Semiactive Nonlinear Fuzzy Control
Publication: Journal of Structural Engineering
Volume 136, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper investigates the behavior of a seismically excited benchmark building employing magnetorheological dampers operated by a model-based fuzzy logic controller (MBFLC) formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The MBFLC is designed in a systematic way, while the traditional model-free fuzzy logic controller is designed via trial and error by experienced investigators. It is demonstrated from comparison of the uncontrolled and semiactive controlled responses that the proposed LMI-based MBFLC is effective in vibration reduction of a benchmark building under various earthquake loading conditions.
