A New Hybrid Control of mega-Sub Controlled Structure under Seismic Excitation

Abstract:

Mega-sub controlled structure (MSCS) is a new structural configuration presented recently and has received widespread attention . To further improve the structural control effectiveness of MSCS, in this paper, a new hybrid control method is proposed which employ active control and adjust the stiffness of substructure together to form a huge hybrid controlled system based on the particular conformation characteristic of MSCS. The control law and dynamic equation to assembling parameter matrixes for the MSCS subjected to horizontal seismic excitation are presented. The result indicates that, compared with the corresponding status without actuators, the new structure employing hybrid control method proposed in this paper has the ability to develop a high level of response control effectiveness when subjected to seismic excitations and does significantly further reduce the responses of structure; a much better control effectiveness will be obtained after parameters optimization.
