Introduction The control strategies used for civil engineering structures, such as buildings and bridges, can be divided into three categories: (1) base isolation, (2) energy transfer, and (3) energy dissipation [1].
As traditional vibration isolation systems cannot satisfy these demands, engineers are giving more attention to so-called smart materials.
