A six-storey benchmark problem with semi-active controller based on artificial neural network (ANN) is studied. Linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is used to generate optimal control forces. The MR damper is modeled based on parallel plate Bouc-Wen model. The combination of LQR and ANN controller is utilized to study the benchmark problem for various historical ground motions records available. It is shown that the performance of LQR and ANN is superior over the other control law for controlling the building using MR dampers.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
