Semi-active vibration control systems are becoming popular because they offer both the reliability of passive systems and the versatility of active control without high power demands. In this work, a new semi-active control ...

For controlling vibrations, a Semi-Active Friction Tendon (SAFT), which consists of a semi-active friction damper and an auxiliary spring that are linked to the structure by a cable, is studied experimentally, numerically ...

Relative vibration between two flexible subsystems can be detrimental to the performance of many engineering applications, such as optics-based instruments, machine tools, or adjacent industrial structures sharing piping. ...

The present work investigates the nonlinear response of a half-car model. The disturbances of the road are assumed to be sinusoidal. After constructing the bifurcation diagram, we use the 0-1 test to identify chaotic ...

This paper is devoted to the robust (Formula presented.) and guaranteed cost control problems for continuous-time switched linear systems with polytopic uncertainties, considering an output-dependent switching law and a ...
