Application of Fuzzy Control with Market-Based Control Strategy to Structures

الملخص EN

The market-based control as a control strategy is developed based on an analogy between the control force-energy source in the structural area and the supply demand in the free market.

The optimal problem of control force from an actuator is transformed to that of the allocation resource in the market.

Since the supply-demand relation model and iteration procedure for the optimal price solution are necessary and relatively hard to understand and perform for civil engineers, the fuzzy logical method is proposed in the framework of the market-based control to acquire an equivalent system corresponding to the market-based control method.

An equivalent fuzzy logical rule is established through analyzing a single-degree-of-freedom system with the controller using the MBC strategy under earthquakes.

The results show that the fuzzy logical method is able to also reduce the displacement and acceleration responses effectively similar to the MBC method, and the consumed computational time for the fuzzy logical method is obviously saved.
