Descrição
Resumo:The present paper investigates the effectiveness of a neuro-fuzzy controller to reduce the response of building structures subjected to seismic excitations. The proposed controller was developed using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) to train a fuzzy logic system. In this case, floor acceleration measurements are used to compute the desired control signal to command a MR damper. A numerical example involving a three degrees of freedom building structure excited by the El Centro earthquake is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed semi-active control system in reducing the response under seismic loading. A comparison between uncontrolled and controlled structural responses are used to validate the performance and efficiency of the proposed semi-active controller.
