The flexibility and low damping of the long-span suspended cables in suspension bridges make them prone to vibrations due to wind and moving loads, which affect the dynamic response of the suspended cables and bridge deck. This paper shows the design of 2 control schemes to control the nonlinear vibrations in the suspended cables and bridge deck due to a vertical load moving on the bridge deck with a constant speed. The first control scheme is an optimal state feedback controller. The second control scheme is a robust state feedback controller, which is based on the design of optimal controllers. The proposed controllers, whose design is based on Lyapunov theory, guarantee the asymptotic stability of the system. A vertical cable between the bridge deck and the suspended cable is used to install a hydraulic actuator able to generate the active control force on the bridge deck. The MATLAB software is used to simulate the performance of the system with the designed controllers. Simulation results indicate that the proposed controllers are capable of significantly reducing the nonlinear oscillations of the system. In addition, the performance of the system with the proposed controllers is compared to the performance of the system controlled with a velocity feedback controller. It is found that the system with the proposed controllers can provide better performance than the system with the velocity feedback controller.
