Abstract

University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.A critical aspect of the design of smart structures for buildings and other civil engineering infrastructure is the reduction of vibrations, deflections and forces induced by external disturbances such as earthquakes, strong winds or heavy dynamic loads. This research work focuses on the design of a second-order sliding mode controller for vibration control using Magneto-rheological fluid (MR) dampers integrated in smart structures to sustain external earthquakes or dynamic loadings. Following comprehensive surveys on structural control and recent earthquakes scenarios around the globe, this work presents an effective control system for suppression of struct...
