Abstract
AbstractThe study aims to tackle two key issues: the dependency of optimal controllers on available training data and their limited capability in managing multi-component structural responses. Real Time Fuzzy Logic Efficient Control system (RTFLEC) was developed to address these challenges. This system integrates a fuzzy logic inference system with a multi-verse optimization algorithm and utilizes real time training for real-time optimal controller derivation. It incorporates decentralized systems and optimal controller memory concepts and employs a magnetorheological damper (MR) for adjustable vibration control. Two case studies were conducted to evaluate the RTFLEC system's effectiveness. The first study focused on a three-story shear building under seismic loads, while the second analyzed a 76-story building facing multi-directional wind loads. The results showed that RTFLEC system reduced structural drifts by 28.33% and 51.5% during near-field and far-field earthquakes, respectively. It also decreased structural acceleration by 27.66% and 53% during near-field and far-field earthquakes, respectively. For wind-induced structures, it reduced story displacement by 37.5%, 14.5%, and 12% against across-wind, along-wind, and rotational forces, respectively. RTFLEC system demonstrated robust performance against uncertainties in external excitations, providing exceptional structural responses. Its key advantage lies in real-time adaptability, requiring minimal training data and computational processing. These findings highlight its significant potential in enhancing the performance of adaptive vibration control systems under unpredictable real-world loads.
