What is Design Optimization of Active and Passive Structural Control Systems about?

A typical engineering task during the development of any system is, among others, to improve its performance in terms of cost and response. Improvements can be achieved either by simply using design rules based on the experience or in an automated way by using optimization methods that lead to optimum designs. This book includes Earthquake Engineering and Tuned Mass Damper research topics into a volume taking advantage of the connecting link between them, which is optimization. This is a publication addressing the design optimization of active and passive control systems. This title is perfect for engineers, professionals, professors, and students alike, providing cutting edge research and applications. Content: Front Matter • Preface • Table of Contents 1. Optimal Placement of Controller for Seismic Structures 2. Optimal Placement of Viscous Dampers for Seismic Building Design 3. Optimal Placement of Viscoelastic Dampers Represented by the Classical and Fractional Rheological Models 4. Optimal Passive Damper Positioning Techniques: State-of-the-Art 5. Damper Optimization for Long-Span Suspension Bridges: Formulations and Applications 6. Optimal Design and Practical Considerations
