description

An actuator and sensor allocation approach is proposed for the design of coupled-adjacent-building vibration suppression under seismic excitation. This paper first establishes a full-order model of adjacent buildings with the location information of actuators and sensors. Then, the order of the model is reduced via modal cost analysis, by retaining the modes contributing the most. In view of the fact that the output powers of the actuators are limited, this paper brings forward a mixed H∞/GH2 control. By considering that not all the states of the system can be measured by the sensors, a dynamic output feedback controller is designed. The genetic algorithm is employed to obtain the locations of the actuators and sensors, as well as the corresponding controller. With the proposed approach, the allocation problem is solved, and the vibration of coupled adjacent buildings is attenuated at a sufficiently low level with constrained acting forces. Simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach in attenuating building vibration under earthquake excitation.
