Summary
Experimental investigation of structural control strategies is an important stage in
structural seismic design. Shaking tables are powerful instruments for verification of
control strategies implemented in civil structures subjected to earthquakes. In this
work a well-known pole-assignment method is used to determine the active mass
damper (AMD) control law parameters. The design procedure is computerized using
subroutines, written in MATLAB. Close-loop system poles assignment is based on
accurate approximation of the open-loop system's transfer function. A practical
identification algorithm for such approximation is developed. It is realized in
MATLAB and SIMULINK routines. The algorithm automatically performs the
experiments and calculates the investigated system transfer function parameters. The
AMD controller is designed and verified using the proposed technique. The
controller represents an output feedback, including the asymptotic observer for state
vector estimation as a function of the AMD's relative position measurement, and the
full state feedback, assigning the desired poles of the close-loop AMD-structure
system.
