A method for design of an active control system for multistorey structures using Electrorheological (ER) dampers is presented. Incorporated at various levels of a structural frame, ER dampers are used to improve the response of the structure during earthquakes. Optimal control theory was used to des

Semi-active control of friction dampers has been proposed to improve the energy dissipation characteristics of passive friction dampers and to broaden the areas of application in which they can successfully be used. In this paper, we propose control laws for friction dampers which maximize energy di
A semi-active on-off control policy has been developed to reduce the severity of suspension seat end-stop impacts caused by shocks or high magnitude vibration. An electrorheological fluid damper was used to realize the required two-state damping. The effects of the free travel (i.e., the relative di
Recently, smart structures with inherent adaptive capabilities to variable environments have made great progress as a new methodology for vibration control. Typically, incorporated with aluminium, steel, and composite materials, smart structures have exploited piezoelectric sensing and actuating tec
The authors developed a semi-active hydraulic damper (SHD) and installed it in an actual building in 1998. This was the "rst application of a semi-active structural control system that can control a building's response in a large earthquake by continuously changing the device's damping coe$cient. A
Active vibration suppression of a fluid conveying cantilever pipe with geometric non-linearity due to post-critical flow speed is examined. The non-linear characteristics of the system is described using the fictitious load approach and the dynamic responses can be obtained using successive co-ordin
