In this paper we study the behavior of a semi-active suspension witch external vibrations. The mathematical model is proposed coupled to a magneto rheological (MR) damper. The goal of this work is stabilize of the external ...

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 ...

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 ...

Lyapunov-based control is an attractive strategy for semi-active vibration control as it has a mathematical basis ensuring stability in the sense of Lyapunov and great flexibility in the design. Unfortunately, that flexibility ...

Vibration control systems are usually classified into: passive, active and semi-active. Semi-active control systems are based on formerly passive mechanical devices, such as springs and dampers, whose characteristics are ...

In the last decades there was a great development in the study of control systems to attenuate the harmful effect of natural events in great structures, as buildings and bridges. Magnetorheological fluid (MR), that is an ...
