Synthesises the knowledge needed to design and implement semiactive
devices
Researchers have studied many methods of using active and
passive control devices for absorbing vibratory energy. Active
devices, while providing significant reductions in structural
motion, typically require large (and often multiply-redundant)
power sources, and thereby raise concerns about stability. Passive
devices are fixed and cannot be modified based on information of
excitation or structural response. Semiactive devices on the other
hand can provide significant vibration reductions comparable to
those of active devices but with substantially reduced power
requirements and in a stable manner.
"Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration
Mitigation" presents the most up-to-date research into semiactive
control systems and illustrates case studies showing their
implementation and effectiveness in mitigating vibration. The
material is presented in a way that people not familiar with
control or structural dynamics can easily understand.
Connecting structural dynamics with control, this book: Provides
a history of semiactive control and a bibliographic review of the
most common semiactive control strategies. Presents
state-of-the-art semiactive control systems and illustrates several
case studies showing their implementation and effectiveness to
mitigate vibration. Illustrates applications related to noise
attenuation, wind vibration damping and earthquake effects
mitigation amongst others. Offers a detailed comparison between
collocated and non-collocated systems. Formulates the design
concepts and control algorithms in simple and readable language.
Includes an appendix thatcontains critical considerations about
semiactive devices and methods of evaluation of the original
damping of a structure.
"Technology of Semiactive Devices and Applications in Vibration
Mitigation" is a must-have resource for researchers, practitioners
and design engineers working in civil, automotive and mechanical
engineering. In addition it is undoubtedly the key reference for
all postgraduate students studying in the field.
