Response control of structures with hysteretic restoring force

摘要

Recently, in order to enhance the habitable amenities, passive and actige control of structures subjected to weak earthquake and wind response by using tuned mass damper (TMD) has been proposed and has been applied. However, the ordinary tuned mass damper is difficult to control the response of structures under the strong earthquake. This paper deals with the response control of a structure by a tuned mass damper with lever and pendulum mechanism (LP-TMD) under the strong earthquake. We applied sliding mode control method to control the response of the four-degree-of-freedom structure with hysteretic restoring force, and we compared the performance of the sliding mode control system with that of the LQ control system.
