본 연구에서는 스마트 TMD를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 퍼지제어알고리즘을 개발하기 위하여 다목적 유전자알고리즘을 이용한 최적화기법을 제안하였다. 예제구조물로는 풍하중을 받는 76층 벤치마크건물을 선택하였다. 스마트 TMD를 구성하기 위하여 100kN 용량의 MR 감쇠기를 사용하였고, 스마트 TMD의 진동주기는 예제구조물의 1차모드 고유진동주기에 맞추어 조율되었다. MR 감쇠기의 감쇠력은 예제구조물의 풍응답을 최소화할 수 있도록 퍼지제어기를 통해서 조절된다. 퍼지제어기의 입력변수는 75층의 가속도 응답과 스마트 TMD의 변위응답으로 하였고, 출력변수는 MR 감쇠기로 전달되는 명령전압으로 하였다. 퍼지제어기의 최적화를 위하여 다목적 유전자알고리즘인 NSGA-II 기법이 사용되었고, 이때 75층의 가속도 응답과 스마트 TMD의 변위응답을 목적함수로 사용하였다. 최적화 결과, 구조물의 풍응답과 STMD의 변위응답을 동시에 적절히 제어할 수 있는 다수의 퍼지제어기를 얻을 수 있었다. 수치해석을 통해서 스마트 TMD의 성능이 수동 TMD에 비하여 월등히 뛰어남을 알 수 있었고 경우에 따라서는 샘플 능동 TMD보다 더 우수한 제어성능을 발휘하였다.

The inerter-based vibration absorber (IVA) is an enhanced variation of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD). The parametric optimization of absorbers in the previous research mainly considered only two decision variables, namely frequency ratio and damping ratio, and aimed to minimize peak displacement and acceleration individually under the excitation of the across-wind load. This paper extends these efforts by minimizing two conflicting objectives simultaneously, i.e., the extreme displacement and acceleration at the top floor, under the constraint of the physical mass. Six decision variables are optimized by adopting a constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (CMOEA), i.e., NSGA-II, under fluctuating across- and along-wind loads, respectively. After obtaining a set of optimal individuals, a decision-making approach is employed to select one solution which corresponds to a Tuned Mass Damper Inerter/Tuned Inerter Damper (TMDI/TID). The optimization procedure is applied to parametric optimization of TMDI/TID installed in a 340-meter-high building under wind loads. The case study indicates that the optimally-designed TID outperforms TMDI and TMD in terms of wind-induced vibration mitigation under different wind directions, and the better results are obtained by the CMOEA than those optimized by other formulae. The optimal TID is proven to be robust against variations in the mass and damping of the host structure, and mitigation effects on acceleration responses are observed to be better than displacement control under different wind directions.

Recently, the response of a high-rise building to external dynamic force created by wind and earthquake has received much attention. This response is dependent on wind intensity, surrounding environment, building size, shape, mass, stiffness and amount of energy dissipation available in the system. The study has been done on these parameters. Attempts have been made to increase the damping in building system and thereby reduce structural response. These attempts have centered on adding an energy-dissipative system(passive tuned mass damper; passive TMD) to the building system and increasing the overall effective damping. In this paper the optimum condition of passive TMD will be derived with respect to random excitation and the properties of the optimum condition will have been studied.

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are passive damping devices widely employed to mitigate the pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges. The TMD design must ensure an adequate performance during the overall life-cycle of the structure. Although the TMD is initially adjusted to match the natural frequency of the vibration mode which needs to be controlled, its design must further take into account the change of the modal parameters of the footbridge due to the modification of the operational and environmental conditions. For this purpose, a motion-based design optimization method is proposed and implemented herein, aimed at ensuring the adequate behavior of footbridges under uncertainty conditions. The uncertainty associated with the variation of such modal parameters is simulated by a probabilistic approach based on the results of previous research reported in literature. The pedestrian action is modelled according to the recommendations of the Synpex guidelines. A comparison among the TMD parameters obtained considering different design criteria, design requirements and uncertainty levels is performed. To illustrate the proposed approach, a benchmark footbridge is considered. Results show both which is the most adequate design criterion to control the pedestrian-induced vibrations on the footbridge and the influence of the design requirements and the uncertainty level in the final TMD design.

A semi-active algorithm for edgewise vibration control of the spar-type floating offshore wind turbine (SFOWT) blades, nacelle and spar platform is developed in this paper. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is placed in each blade, in the nacelle and on the spar to control the vibrations for these components. A Short Time Fourier Transform algorithm is used for semi-active control of the TMDs. The mathematical formulation of the integrated SFOWT-TMDs system is derived by using Euler-Lagrangian equations. The theoretical model derived is a time-varying system considering the aerodynamic properties of the blade, variable mass and stiffness per unit length, gravity, the interactions among the blades, nacelle, spar, mooring system and the TMDs, the hydrodynamic effects, the restoring moment and the buoyancy force. The aerodynamic loads on the nacelle and the spar due to their coupling with the blades are also considered. The effectiveness of the semi-active TMDs is investigated in the numerical examples where the mooring cable tension, rotor speed and the blade stiffness are varying over time. Except for excessively large strokes of the nacelle TMD, the semi-active algorithm is considerably more effective than the passive one in all cases and its effectiveness is restricted by the low-frequency nature of the nacelle and the spar responses.

In the last decades, valuable results have been reported regarding conventional passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid structural control systems on two-dimensional and a few three-dimensional shear buildings. In this research, using a three-dimensional finite element model of high-rise concrete structures, designed by performance based plastic design method, it was attempted to construct a relatively close to reality model of concrete structures equipped with Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) by considering the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI), torsion effect, hysteresis behavior and cracking effect of concrete. In contrast to previous studies which have focused mainly on linearly designed structures, in this study, using performance-based plastic design (PBPD) design approach, nonlinear behavior of the structures was considered from the beginning of the design stage. Inelastic time history analysis on a detailed model of twenty-story concrete structure was performed under a far-field ground motion record set. The seismic responses of the structure by considering SSI effect are studied by eight main objective functions that are related to the performance of the structure, containing: lateral displacement, acceleration, inter-story drift, plastic energy dissipation, shear force, number of plastic hinges, local plastic energy and rotation of plastic hinges. The tuning problem of TMD based on tuned mass spectra is set by considering five of the eight previously described functions. Results reveal that the structural damage distribution range is retracted and inter-story drift distribution in height of the structure is more uniform. It is strongly suggested to consider the effect of SSI in structural design and analysis.

Unsymmetrical high-rise buildings (HRBs) subjected to earthquake represent a difficult challenge to structural engineering, especially taking into consideration the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI). L-shape in plan HRBs suffer from big straining actions when are subjected to an earthquake (in x- or y-direction, or both x- and y- directions). Additionally, the disastrous effect of seismic pounding may appear between two adjacent unsymmetrical HRBs. For two unsymmetrical L-shape in plan HRBs subjected to earthquake in three different direction cases (x, y, or both), including the SSI effect, different methods are investigated to mitigate the seismic pounding and thus protect these types of structures under the earthquake effect. The most effective technique to mitigate the seismic pounding and help in seismically protecting these adjacent HRBs is found herein to be the use of a combination of pounding tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) all over the height (at the connection points) together with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) on the top of both buildings.

In this study, the control performance of a Tuned Liquid Mass Damper(TLMD) manufactured to reduce the orthogonal bi-directional responses of building structures was experimentally evaluated. the TLMD using only one control device reduce bi-directional responses of building structures by making the TLMD behave as TMD and TLCD to the strong and weak axial direction of building structures. first, the control performance was evaluated by forcing sinusoidal waves to a test model that the TLMD is installed on the scale-downed building structure. Second, the real-time hybrid shaking table test was performed to evaluate the performance of the vibration control system made up of numerical part as a scale-downed building structural model and a physical experimental part as a TLMD. the superiority of bi-directional vibration control performance of the manufactured TLMD was verified by comparing the uncontrolled and controlled results of these tests.

본 논문에서는 지진 하중 하에서 파이핑 시스템의 내진성능향상을 위하여 TMD의 적용성을 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 대상 파이프라인의 모드해석을 수행하였고, 이 중 방향별 질량참여율이 비교적 큰 1, 2 및 4번째 모드를 TMD 설치 위치로 선정하였다. 선정된 위치에 TMD 설계를 위하여 각각의 해당 모드를 단자유도 감쇠모델로 치환하고, TMD를 단자유도 감쇠모델로 고려하여 해당 파이프라인을 2자유도 시스템으로 변환하였다. 다음으로, 조화 지반 가진을 받는 변환된 2자유도 시스템의 응답증폭계수를 최소화할 수 있는 TMD의 강성 및 감쇠계수 값을 GA 최적화 방법을 통해 도출하였다. 이렇게 도출된 TMD 최적 설계 값을 파이프라인 수치모델에 적용하여 TMD 설치 유무에 따른 내진성능을 분석하였다. 수치해석 결과, TMD 설치 구간 배관부에서 방향 별 가속도 응답이 18%~51% 가량 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 배관부에 발생할 수 있는 최대 수직응력의 크기는 TMD 설치로 인하여 41%의 응력 감소가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 파이프라인 시스템의 최하단 앵커지점의 방향 별 반력은 원래의 최대 반력 세기에서 각각 37%, 34%, 43% 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 향후 목표로 하는 원전의 주요 파이핑 시스템의 내진성능향상과 관련한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

바닥판 구조물의 진동제어를 위한 제어시스템으로 제어력의 조절에 따라서 수동, 능동, 준능동 제어 시스템이 구분할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 MR감쇠기와 수동 TMD를 조합한 준능동 TMD(MR-TMD)의 제어기법에 따른 바닥판 구조물의 진동제어성능을 알아보았다 MR-TMD의 감쇠기 모형화 방법에 따라서 Groundhook 모델과 Skyhook 모델이 있으며 주구조물인 바닥판 구조물의 진동제어에 있어서는 Skyhook 모델보다 Groundhook 모델보다 효과적인 것을 볼 수 있다. 그러나 TMD변위가 제한적인 경우에 MR-TMD의 감쇠기를 Skyhook 모델로 모형화하여 진동을 제어할 필요가 있다 그리고 Hybrid 제어기법을 적용할 경우에 바닥판 구조물과 TMD를 동시에 최적으로 제어할 수 있으므로 우수한 제어성능을 보이고 있다.
