## Abstract In this paper a predictive control method especially suitable for the control of semiβactive friction dampers is proposed. By keeping the adjustable slip force of a semiβactive friction damper slightly lower than the critical friction force, the method allows the damper to remain in its

A study has been made of the use of three semi-active friction devices, herein referred to as dampers, to control the seismic response of a building modelled as three masses. With a pseudo-random earthquake input, peak lateral accelerations, inter-storey drift and base displacement relative to groun
A semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) which is capable of adjusting initial displacement and damping is applied to seismic protection of structures. Control algorithms are derived in closed forms using perturbation analysis on modal properties of the sinigle degree of freedom (SDOF) structure/TMD sy
## Abstract A semiβactive fuzzy control strategy for seismic response reduction using a magnetorheological (MR) damper is presented. When a control method based on fuzzy set theory for a structure with a MR damper is used for vibration reduction of a structure, it has an inherent robustness, and ea
This paper presents the "rst application of a semi-active damper system to an actual building. The Semi-active Hydraulic Damper (SHD) can produce a maximum damping force of 1000 kN with an electric power of 70 W. It is compact, so a large number of them can be installed in a single building. It is t
