본 연구에서는 준능동 TMD(STMD)가 설치된 초고층건물의 풍응답을 효과적으로 저감시키기 위한 퍼지 하이브리드제어기법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 STMD의 응답저감에 우수한 성능을 보이는 스카이훅(skyhook) 제어기와 구조물의 응답저감에 뛰어난 그라운드훅(groundhook) 제어알고리즘을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 두 제어기를 적절히 조합하기 위하여 최적의 가중치를 실시간으로 결정하는 퍼지 하이브리드제어기를 개발함으로써 일반적인 가중합방식의 하이브리드 제어기법의 성능을 개선하였다. 제안된 제어기의 성능을 검토하기 위하여 풍하중을 받는 76층 사무소 건물을 예제구조물로 사용하였다. MR 감쇠기를 이용하여 STMD를 구성하였고 STMD의 제어성능을 평가하기 위하여 TMD 및 ATMD의 성능과 비교하였다. 수치해석을 통하여 STMD의 제어성능이 TMD에 비하여 월등히 뛰어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 퍼지 하이브리드 제어기법을 사용하면 스카이훅 및 그라운드훅 제어기를 효과적으로 조합하여 STMD와 건물의 응답을 동시에 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Fuzzy hybrid control technique with a smart tuned mass damper(STMD) was proposed in this study for the suppression of wind-induced motion of a tall building. To develop the effective control algorithm for a STMD, skyhook and groundhook control algorithms were employed. Usually, skyhook controller can effectively reduce STMD motion and groundhook controller shows good control performance for the reduction of building responses. In this study, fuzzy hybrid controller, which can determine an optimal weighting factor for combining two controllers in real time, was developed to improve the control performance of conventional hybrid controller using weighted sum approach. A 76-story office building was used as an example structure to investigate the performance of the proposed controller. A magnetorheological(MR) damper was used to develop a STMD and the control performance of STMD was evaluated comparing with the passive and active TMD. The numerical studies show that the control effectiveness of a STMD is significantly superior to that of the conventional TMD. It is also shown that fuzzy hybrid controller can effectively adjust skyhook and groundhook control algorithms and reduce both responses of STMD and building.

This study is about roll characteristics evaluation to show the advantage of using MR(magneto-rheological) dampers for steering of a SUV(sports utility vehicle). Roll characteristics is very important to observe the roll-propensity of the SUV. ADAMS/Car program was used to simulate the basic steering motion, using 63 D.O.F. vehicle model. Sky-Hook and Ground-Hook control algorithms were used as a semi-active suspension system controller. The roll characteristics from the steering motion were compared between the simulation results from the semi-active suspension system and the passive suspension system.

A conventional passive TMD is only effective when it is tuned properly. In many practical applications, inevitable off-tuning of a TMD occurs because the mass in a building floor could change by moving furnishings, people gathering, etc. When TMDs are offtuned, TMDs their effectiveness is sharply reduced. Moreover, the off-tuned TMs can excessively amplify the vibration levels of the primary structures. This paper discusses the application of a new class of MR damper, for the reduction of floor vibrations duo to machine and human movements. The STMD introduced uses a MR damper called to semi-active damper to achieve reduction in the floor vibration. Here, the STMD and the groundhook algorithm are applied to a single degree of freedom system representative or building floors. The performance or the STMD is compared to that or the equivalent passive TMD. In addition, the effects of off-tuning due to variations in the mass of the floor system. Comparison of the results demonstrates the efficiency and robustness of STMD with respect to equivalent TMD.

Passive, active and semi-active control system are classified in floor vibration control system by providing control force. This paper discusses the application of a new class of semi-active TMD(MR-TMD), for the reduction or floor vibrations due to machine and human movements. This MR-TMD consists of passive TMD and MR damper. Here, displacement-based control methods are used to assess the performance of this STMD(MR-TMD). And, skyhook and the groundhook algorithm are applied to a single degree of freedom system representative of building floors. If the allowed operation space of tuned mass is limited in MR-TMD system, skyhook algorithm is more efficient than groundhook algorithm for floor vibration control. Hybrid control method demonstrates the efficiency of MR-TMD with respect to another methods.

This paper presents dynamic modeling and controller design of a tracked vehicle installed with the double rod type ERSU(electro-rheological suspension unit). A 16 degree-of-freedom model for the tracked vehicle is established by Lagrangian method followed by the formulation of a new sky-ground hook controller. This controller takes account for both the ride quality and the steering stability. The weighting parameter between the two performance requirements is adopted to adjust required performance characteristics with respect to the operation conditions such as road excitation. The parameter is appropriately determined by employing a fuzzy algorithm associated with the vehicle motion. Computer simulations are undertaken in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. Acceleration values at the driver's seat are analyzed under bump road profile, while frequency responses of vertical acceleration are investigated under random road excitation.

Recently, complex-shaped tall buildings represented by 3T(Twisted, Tapered, Tilted) are planed largely. A diagrid structural system is one of the most widely used structural system for complex-shaped tall buildings because of its structural efficiency and formativeness. Plans for tilted tall buildings are largely presented because of beauty of a sculpture and many of buildings use diagrid structural systems. Lateral displacements of tilted tall buildings are induced by not only lateral loads but also self weight. Therefore, reduction of lateral responses of tilted tall buildings is as important as typical tall buildings. In this study, a smart TMD is introduced to reduce seismic responses of tilted diagrid tall buildings and its control performance is evaluated. MR damper is employed for the smart TMD and ground-hook controller is used as a control algorithm for the smart TMD. 100-story tall building is used as an example structure. Control performances of uncontrolled case, controlled case with TMD and controlled case with smart TMD are compared and investigated. Numerical simulation has shown that smart TMD presented good control performance for displacement response but acceleration response was not controlled well.
