We address a simultaneous optimal design problem of a semi-active control law and design parameters in a vibration control device for civil structures. The Vibration Control Device (VCD) that is being developed by authors is used as the semi-active control device in the present paper. The VCD is composed of a mechanism of a ball screw with a flywheel for the inertial resistance force and an electric motor with an electric circuit for the damping resistance force. A new bang-bang type semi-active control law referred to as Inverse Lyapunov Approach is proposed as the semi-active control law. In the Inverse Lyapunov Approach the Lyapunov function is searched so that performance measures in structural vibration control are optimized in the premise of the bang-bang type semi-active control based on the Lyapunov function. The design parameters to determine the Lyapunov function and the design parameters of the VCD are optimized for the good performance of the semi-active control system. The Genetic Algorithm is employed for the optimal design.

We address a simultaneous optimal design problem of a semi-active (SA) control law and design parameters in a semi-active control device for civil structures. The vibration control device (VCD) that is being developed by authors is used as the semi-active control device. The VCD is composed of a ball screw with a flywheel for the inertial resistance force and an electric motor with an electric circuit for the damping resistance force. A new bang–bang type semi-active control law referred to as inverse Lyapunov approach is proposed. In the inverse Lyapunov approach, the Lyapunov matrix in the bang–bang type semi-active control based on the Lyapunov function is searched so that the control performance of the semi-active control system is optimized. Design parameters to determine the Lyapunov function and those of the VCD are optimized with the genetic algorithm (GA). The effectiveness of the proposed approach is presented with simulation studies.

High speed photography using the Cranz-Schardin camera was performed to study the crack divergence and divergence angle in thermally tempered glass. A tempered 3.5 mm thick glass plate was used as a specimen. It was shown that two types of bifurcation and branching existed as the crack divergence. The divergence angle was smaller than the value calculated from the principle of optimal design and showed an acute angle.

Optimal design is a design which required in determining the points of variable factors that would be attempted to optimize the relevant information so that fulfilled the desired criteria. The optimal fulfillment criteria based on the information matrix of the selected model.
