Full Scale Semiactive Bridge Control

9625715 Patten PI提出了一个为期三年的研究计划，该计划将确定半主动吸振器（SAVA）用于桥梁冲击振动控制的有效性和可实施性。本提案的目的是对SAVA应用于ODOT（俄克拉荷马州部门）所引起的工程问题进行长期研究。测试桥（Test Bridge） 该研究将检查不同的控制算法，包括反馈线性化，和非线性双状态控制，是基于Lyapunou的方法的扩展测试。 将开展工作，以验证开发和测试的性能。 研究还将解决最佳拓扑的致动器的问题，包括：（a）致动器的运动学布置;（B）最佳位置和布置的致动器;和（3）的致动器的数量的影响。

9625715 Patten PIs proposed a three year program of research that will establish the effectiveness and implementability of semiactive vibration absorbs (SAVA) for bridge impact vibration control. The purpose of this proposal is to conduct a long term study of the engineering issues raised by the application of SAVA to the ODOT (Oklahoma Dept. of Transportation) test bridge. The research will examine the testing of different control algorithms including feedback linearization, and a nonlinear bi-state control that is based on an extension of Lyapunou's method. Work will be conducted to verify the performance developed and tested. The research will also address the question of best topologies for actuators, including: (a) kinematic arrangement of actuators; (b) optimal location and placement of actuators; and (3) effect of number of actuators.
