This paper deals with a new system design method for motion and vibration control of a three-dimensional flexible shaking table. An integrated modeling and controller design procedure for flexible shaking table system is presented. An experimental three-dimensional shaking table is built. “Reduced-Order Physical Model” procedure is adopted. A state equation system model is composed and a feedback controller is designed by applying LQI control law to achieve simultaneous motion and vibration control. Adding a feedforward, two-degree-of-freedom control system is designed. Computer simulations and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the presented procedure is investigated. The robustness of the system is also investigated.

Abstract This paper deals with a design procedure of control system for a three-dimensional flexible shaking table. The shaking table should be less weighted so that actuators require less control forces and higher fidelity to control commands. However, as the weight of shaking table is reduced, the natural frequencies of vibration modes of the table appear on operating frequency region. Such vibration modes get into problem that may cause spillover instability. So, the research purpose is to control such vibration and motion by using the modeling method presented by Seto [1]. Utilizing the model, state equation system model including integrator is composed and feedback controller is designed by using LQI control law. As the system model both includes the multi-degree-of -freedom-structure model and integrator, the designed controller achieves simultaneous motion and vibration control. Computer simulation and control experiments are carried out and the effectiveness of the presented procedure is investigated.

A robust filtered sliding mode control (SMC) approach is presented for vibration control of wind-excited highrise building structures. Rather than using a Lyapunov-function based control design, an alternative way is provided to find the control force based on the equivalent control force principle to obtain the control force. A low pass filter is properly selected to remove the high-frequency components of the control force while retaining the structural stability. The performance of the proposed filtered SMC is evaluated by application to a wind-excited 76-story building benchmark problem equipped with an active tuned mass damper (ATMD) on the roof. Due to the elimination of high-frequency part of the control force, the structure, sensors, actuators, and dampers are all less excited, and consequently their response is reduced compared with the unfiltered SMC approach. In addition, the required control forces are reduced which means a reduction in the size of actuators, thus making their implementation more practical. It is shown the proposed method is more robust to structural stiffness uncertainties compared with the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) algorithm and another implementation of SMC.

A multi-storey building is habitually modelled as a frame structure which neglects the shear wall/slab openings along with the inclusion of staircases. Furthermore, the structural strength provided by shear walls and slabs is not precisely incorporated. With increasing building height, the effect of lateral loads on a high-rise structure increases substantially. Inclusion of shear walls and slabs with the frame leads to improved lateral stiffness. Besides, their openings may play imperative role in the structural behaviour of such buildings. In this study, 61 multi-storey building configurations have been modelled. Corresponding analyses are performed to cope with the influence of shear walls, slabs, wall openings, masonry walls and staircases in addition to frame modelling. The finite element approach is used in modelling and analysis. Structural responses in each elemental combination are evaluated through equivalent static and free vibration analyses. The assessment reveals that inclusion of only slab components with frame modelling contributes trivial improvement on structural performance. Conversely, the presence of shear wall slabs with frame improves the performance noticeably. Increasing wall openings decreases the structural responses. Furthermore, it is not recommended to model staircases in addition to frame–slab–shear wall modelling, unless the effect of wall openings and slab openings is adequately considered.
