A conventional variable universe fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative control approach is widely used for semi-active control in mechanical engineering. The performance of the controller is dependent on an optimal selection of parameters of the contracting–expanding factors. An improved variable universe fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative control algorithm is developed in this study where these parameters are automatically determined in real-time according to the error in the controlled responses and its change rate based on fuzzy logic control. The proposed method is numerically and experimentally illustrated with a three-story frame structure with a magnetorheological damper. The amplitude of displacement, velocity, and acceleration at all floor levels under the proposed control method are smaller than those obtained from existing proportional–integral–derivative, fuzzy, and conventional variable universe fuzzy methods.

Membrane space structures have received widespread attention because of their small packaging volume and low mass. However, because membranes are very flexible and lightly damped, vibration suppression in membrane structures is very difficult. The objective of this study was to solve this problem. The first part of this article describes the influence of wrinkling in a membrane structure on the structure’s vibration characteristics. On this basis, the vibration deformations of a wrinkled square membrane structure were derived from the dynamic equations, and the correctness of this vibration model was verified by numerical simulation and experiment. A multi-model system is proposed to simulate the dynamic response of a membrane structure under different boundary conditions. In combination with the drive system, a multi-model switching control method based on adaptive and proportional–integral–derivative control is proposed. Under the initial disturbance, when the vibration amplitude dropped below 0.01 mm, the vibration duration was reduced to 2.96 s, compared with the duration of 12.37 s without control. The duration was shortened by approximately 39.7%, compared with the duration of 4.91 s achieved by the traditional proportional–integral–derivative control method, and by approximately 15.9% compared with the 3.52 s achieved by the out-plane control method. When there were multiple disturbances and the proposed method was used, the boundary displacement loadings did not increase when a certain value was exceeded. This prevented the breaking of the membrane by overstretching and provides a theoretical foundation for setting the initial pre-stress values.
