Abstract
Active control is an effective strategy for suppressing unwanted structural vibrations. The uncertainties in computational models, actuator faults, and time delays in control forces are the potential threats for control performance improvements. These factors are interconnected and may lead to control system instability and poor control effectiveness. The paper presents a delayed non-fragile robust control (DNR) algorithm for uncertain systems with consideration of actuator faults and time delays. To this end, the existence conditions for the DNR multi-objective controller are derived by utilizing the Lyapunov stability proof and introducing a pole constraint inequality. Then, a dynamic output feedback DNR algorithm is further developed. Finally, two numerical simulation examples are discussed for several ground motions. The results show that the control system based on the proposed algorithm exhibits better stability, robustness, and fault tolerance than the linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) algorithm. Furthermore, there is no need for additional control energy. Significantly, the control performance of the proposed algorithm can be further enhanced with the decentralized control strategy.
