An active structure is an engineering structure containing sensors and actuators that, when
active, modify the response of the structure to its environment. Research into active structural …

An increase in the number of complaints arising from annoying human-induced vibrations in
new floor structures has been observed over recent years. The main reasons for this are …

It is common that excessive vibrations problems arise in modern slender, low-damping,
lightweight structures such as footbridges or long-span floors subjected to human actions …

Energy-efficient, adaptive, affordable and durable curtain wall systems have always
attracted great interest among the scientific and technical communities. In this regard, the …

In real structural systems, such as a building structure or a mechanical system, due to
inherent structural modeling approximations and errors, and changeable and unpredictable …

In this paper, the robust control of a real high‐rise tower is studied, using a newly proposed,
in the structural control field, Robust Model Predictive Control scheme (RMPC). Two RMPC …

This work is devoted to design, implement and validate an active mass damper (AMD) for
vibration mitigation in slender structures. The control law, defined by means of genetic …

Two different methods, local and modal, are suggested to control systems with distributed
parameters, each of them having its own advantages and drawbacks. The aim of the present …

Most of stochastic optimal control methods were developed on the basis of Itô stochastic
differential equation, which assumes that the external excitation is white Gaussian noise or …

In dieser Arbeit wird eine Auslegungsmethode für adaptive Tragwerke unter dynamischen
Lasten vorgestellt, die Anforderungen an Zuverlässigkeit und Sicherheit differenziert …
