Vibration Suppression Control for a Structure System Considering Stroke Limits of Active Mass Dampers

Abstract

It is known that when designing active mass dampers for a structure system, the stroke limits of the actuators are major constraints in improving the control performance. We develop a design method of a saturating control law that can effectively attenuate the vibration of a structure system under stroke limits of actuators. Simulation results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
