Description
Collaborative research with Kyoto University for applications of control theory to earthquake engineering
With Prof Takewaki's team numerical models of nonlinear structures with tri-linear hysteresis were built in Matlab/Simulink. Critical situations for the nonlinear structures were discussed and critical inputs from the critical response with were identified using Nonlinear Signal-Based Control (NSBC). Numerical simulations by changing the parameters of the critical response and the structure were then conducted. A paper will be submitted to Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics in summer 2014.
