• TITLE: H∞ Control for Externally Excited Building Structures with Active Mass Damper under Actuator Saturation

  AUTHORS: Shulong Wei, Yuanguang Zheng

  KEYWORDS: Structural Vibration, Active Mass Damper, H∞ Control, Controller Saturation, Linear Matrix Inequality

  ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the application of active mass dampers to mitigate the vibrations of building structures subjected to unknown external excitations under controller saturation conditions. By utilizing an H∞ control strategy, the optimal state feedback controller is derived by solving the linear matrix inequality problem for controller saturation. Case studies show that the proposed controller is capable of stabilizing the closed-loop system with good control performance and effectively suppressing vibrations in building structures under unknown external excitation. When compared to controllers that do not consider saturation, the proposed controller requires lower gain and results in reduced energy consumption. The research findings provide valuable insights for addressing real-world building structure control problems, contributing to both theoretical significance and practical applications.
