Abstract

The optimum design of seismic structures equipped with active controls is presented. The design variables are structural parameters, such as structural stiffness or moment of inertia. The optimization procedure is carried out in two stages. First, the optimal control forces are expressed in closed form, as implicit functions of the design variables. In the second stage, the structural parameters are varied in order to minimize a structural weight objective function. The algorithm is applied to structural systems under earthquake excitations, for displacement, frequency and control force constraints.

A hybrid optimization algorithm is developed to minimize the control energy and the structural weight under the constraints of the structural dynamic property requirements. A 72-bar space truss with two piezoelectric actuators is used to illustrate the complete process of this algorithm. It is shown
