Abstract
Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) base isolator is a semi-active control device which has currently obtained increasing attention in the field of vibration control of civil structures. However, the inherent nonlinear and hysteretic response of the device is regarded as a challenge aspect for using the smart device to realize the high performance. Therefore, an accurate and robust model is essential to make full use of these unique features for its engineering applications. In this paper, to solve this issue, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is utilized to characterize the dynamic behavior of the device. In this proposed model, the inputs are historical displacements and applied current of the device while the output is the shear force generated. To validate its forecast performance, the ANFIS model is also compared with some conventional models. Finally, the result verifies that ANFIS has the best perfection ability among existing MRE-based device models.
