摘要
Seismic control of cable-stayed bridges is of paramount importance due to their complex dynamic behavior,high flexibility,and low structural damping.In the present study,several semi-active Fuzzy Control Algorithms(FCAs)for vibration mitigation of Lali Cable-Stayed Bridge are devised.To demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithms,a comprehensive nonlinear 3-D model of the bridge is created using OpenSees.An efficient method for connecting MATLAB and OpenSees is devised for applying FCAs to the structural model of the bridge.Two innovative fuzzy rulebases are introduced.A total of six different fiuzzy rule-bases are utilized.The efficiency of the FCAs is evaluated in a comparative manner.The performance of fuzzy control systems is also compared with a sky-hook and a passive-on system.Moreover,the sensitivity of efficiency of control systems to the peak ground acceleration is evaluated qualitatively.In addition,the effect of time lag is also investigated.This study thoroughly examines the efficiency of the FCAs in different aspects.Therefore,the results can be regarded as a general guide to design semi-active fuzzy control systems for vibration mitigation of cable-stayed bridges.
