Numerical and experimental studies on active control of structures using hyper vision technology

Recently, shaking control technologies have improved due to technological advancements in computers, sensors, and actuators. Concerning civil engineering structures, the advantage of passive control is larger than active control in the aspect of maintenance and reliability However, bigger effects of structural response control can be expected regarding active control, and the adoption for important civil engineering structures can be expected in the near future. In this paper, we investigate active control using hyper vision technology, and the feasibility of the active control method is confirmed by numerical simulations and by shaking table tests.
