Abstract

Smart damping technology has been proposed to protect civil structures from dynamicloads. Each application of smart damping control provides varying levels of performancerelative to active and passive control strategies. Currently, researchers compare the relativeefficacy of smart damping control to active and passive strategies by runningnumerous simulations. These simulations can require significant computation time andresources. Because of this, it is desirable to develop an approach to assess theapplicability of smart damping technology which requires less computation time. Thispaper discusses and verifies a probabilistic approach to determine the efficacy ofsmart damping technology based on clipped optimal state feedback control theory.
