An Active Mass Driver (AMD) system is proposed to suppress actively the response of a building to irregular external excitations such as earthquakes and typhoons.' This system has been introduced to an actual ten-storey office building constructed in Tokyo in August, 1989. The proposed analytical me

## Abstract This study investigates an electricβtype active mass driver (AMD) system for structural vibration control. Composed primarily of an electric servomotor and a ball screw, the electrical AMD system is free from noise problems, oil leakage, and laborβintensive maintenance that commonly are
This paper presents the overview and problem definition for a benchmark structural control problem. The structure considered-chosen because of the widespread interest in this class of systems\-is a scale model of a three-storey building employing an active mass driver. A model for this structural sy
