Abstract
Recently, vibration control technologies have improved due to technological advancements in computers, sensors, and actuators. Concerning civil engineering structures, the advantage of passive control is larger than active control in the aspect of maintenance and reliability. However, bigger effects of structural response control can be expected regarding active control, and the adoption for important civil engineering structures can be expected in the near future. In this paper, we investigate an active control method using hyper vision technology, and derive recurrence relations for time integration including control forces. The feasibility of the active control method is confirmed by numerical simulations and by shaking table tests.
