Hybrid Control of Building Seismic Response Using Architectural Cladding

本文将对由包层-结构相互作用提供的被动阻尼与鲁棒主动控制系统相结合的混合控制系统进行实验和分析研究项目。在先进的包层连接系统的研究中获得的经验，设计用于建筑作为被动耗能和刚度增加系统，将在这方面发挥优势调查。研究计划分为五个主要任务：(1)使用包层作为被动控制系统；(2)古典、现代、鲁棒和脉冲控制在建筑中的应用；(3)开发可能的混合控制系统；(4)绩效评价；(5)模型实验（及未来试验计划）。这项研究将由一个跨学科的研究小组进行，他们将积极和实际地参与地震工程，并在开发和应用方面具有广泛的经验鲁棒控制理论。拟议的多学科团队成员之间的互动将在动态建模（包括不确定性建模）领域，有关被动与主动阻尼相对程度的权衡研究，以及实验验证。预计整个研究工作的结果将有助于：(1)建筑结构鲁棒控制的创新方法（包括主动和被动）；(2)将工程被动阻尼系统与现代鲁棒控制器相结合的创新方法，以实现可应用于地震和其他动态的实践建筑控制系统加载条件。

Experimental and analytical investigations of hybrid control systems designed to combine passive damping provided by cladding- structure interaction with robust active control systems will be conducted in this project. Experienced gained in the study of advanced cladding connection systems designed to be employed in buildings as passive energy dissipation and stiffness augmentation systems will be put to advantage in this investigation. The research plan is organized into five primary tasks: (1) Use of cladding as a passive control system; (2) Application of classical, modern, robust and pulse control to buildings; (3) Development of possible hybrid control systems; (4) Performance evaluation; and (5) Model experiments (and plans for future testing). The research will be carried out by an interdisciplinary team of researchers that combines active and practical involvement in earthquake engineering with broad experience in the development and application of robust control theory. Interaction among the proposed multidisciplinary team members will be in the areas of dynamic modelling (including modelling of uncertainties), trade- off studies related to the relative degrees of passive versus active damping, and experimental validation. Results of the overall research effort are expected to contribute: (1) innovative approaches to robust control of building structures (both active and passive), and (2) innovative methods for combining engineered passive damping systems with modern robust controllers to achieve practice building control systems that can be applied to earthquake and other dynamic loading conditions.
