Hybrid Control for Seismological Nonlinear Structures on Liapunov’s Theory
In this paper, the hybrid control method of earthquake excited high-raised buildings is put forword. The building is modeled as a shear-wall type structure with non-linear hysteretic restoring forces after the structure enters the period of nonlinear and plasticity. A passive base-isolation is combined with actuators applied at the basement of the structure. A candidate for Liapunov function is found out based on the theory of energy. A non-linear control law is designed following the theory of Liapunov, since small residual deformations have to be tolerated due to inelastic energy dissipation, asymptotic stability will not be required, but only stability in the sense of Liapunov has to be guaranteed. Computer simulations demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed control algorithm.
