“…It is a typical method to attach devices [18] or to study the failure modes [19] to prevent structures from being destroyed under earthquake. Moreover, in the field of vehicle control, the semi-active suspension [20][21][22][23] and active suspension [24] play an important role in guaranteeing both safety and comfort of cars. In this way, devices or equipment suitable for different structures or applicable to different scenarios (e.g., [25][26][27][28][29][30]) are put forward to reduce the structure's response under different dynamic loads.…”

Abstract:Simulating the impact of debris flows on structures and exploring the feasibility of applying energy dissipation devices or shock isolators to reduce the damage caused by debris flows can make great contribution to the design of disaster prevention structures. In this paper, we propose a new type of device, a lateral damping buffer, to reduce the vulnerability of building structures to debris flows. This lateral damping buffer has two mechanisms of damage mitigation: when debris flows impact on a building, it acts as a buffer, and when the structure vibrates due to the impact, it acts as a shock absorber, which can reduce the maximum acceleration response and subsequent vibration respectively. To study the effectiveness of such a lateral damping buffer, an impact test is conducted, which mainly involves a lateral damping buffer attached to a two-degree-of-freedom structure under a simulated debris flow load. To enable the numerical study, the equation of motion of the structure along with the lateral damping buffer is derived. A subsequent parametric study is performed to optimize the lateral damping buffer. Finally, a practical design procedure is also provided.

“…Enlightened by various structural control methods [25][26][27][28][29][30] and semi-active suspensions [20][21][22][23] as well as active suspensions [24], a lateral damping buffer is proposed to retrofit buildings in debris flow-prone areas. Specifically, it is a combination of traditional buffer and shock absorber.…”

“…Although a smooth nonlinear control is guaranteed, this approach does not ensures the dissipative condition in design stage. Readers are referred to [15] for a more detailed survey of semi-active controls. This paper considers the vibration reduction of a simplified quarter car model using semi-active dampers with adjustable viscous damping coefficients.…”

This paper considers the vibration reduction of transportation systems using semi-active actuators to improve the ride quality. Control design for the resultant semi-active system is difficult for nonlinear dynamics, constrained control, lack of performance-oriented nonlinear control design, and limited state information. A sub-optimal control structure is proposed to address the performance requirement by mimicking the optimal control. A specific sub-optimal control is provided and implemented with one measurement to reduce the hardware cost. Performance analysis of the sub-optimal control is investigated. The semi-active system with the suboptimal control is simulated to demonstrate the effectiveness.

“…Reference [7] proposed a novel model-free control strategy named Combinatory quasi-Optimum Damping (COD) Controller which can optimize damping force of the tunable dampers. Some other modern methodologies have also been widely proposed to improve the performance of controller, such as the modelbased control strategies by using robust [8][9][10], nonlinear [11,12], and optimal control theory [13]. Heuristic control methodologies have good performances with high feasibility to be implemented if the accurate vehicle mathematic model or the observer is not available [14][15][16].…”

The riding conditions for a high-speed tracked vehicle are quite complex. To enhance the adaptability of suspension systems to different riding conditions, a semiactive and self-adaptive hybrid control strategy based on disturbance velocity and frequency identification was proposed. A mathematical model of the semiactive, self-adaptive hybrid suspension control system, along with a performance evaluation function, was established. Based on a two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) suspension system, the kinematic relations and frequency zero-crossing detection method were defined, and expressions for the disturbance velocity and disturbance frequency of the road were obtained. Optimal scheduling of the semiactive hybrid damping control gain ( sky , ground , hybrid ) and selfadaptive control gain ( V ) under different disturbances were realized by exploiting the particle swarm multiobjective optimization algorithm. An experimental study using a carefully designed test rig was performed under a number of typical riding conditions of tracked vehicles, and the results showed that the proposed control strategy is capable of accurately recognizing different disturbances, shifting between control modes (semiactive/self-adaptive), and scheduling the damping control gain according to the disturbance identification outcomes; hence, the proposed strategy could achieve a good trade-off between ride comfort and ride safety and efficiently increase the overall performance of the suspension under various riding conditions.
