Features: This book systematically summarizes and elaborates on the main research achievements in the theories, methods, technologies, systems, and engineering applications of active, semi-active, and intelligent control for civil engineering structures. Chapters 1 and 2 cover important characteristics of dynamic systems and active control algorithms; Chapters 3–5 discuss intelligent control algorithms for dynamic systems; Chapters 6–8 focus on structural active and semi-active control systems centered around control devices; Chapters 9–11 present structural intelligent control systems centered around intelligent actuators and damping materials and their control devices; Chapter 12 introduces design methods for structural active, semi-active, and intelligent control systems. The appendix introduces Benchmark models and performance evaluation systems for vibration control of civil engineering structures. This book serves as a reference for a broad range of science and technology professionals engaged in civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, marine and ship engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation, material science and engineering, mechanics research, and design and manufacturing. It can also be used as a learning reference for graduate students and senior undergraduate students in the aforementioned fields. This book systematically summarizes and elaborates on the main research achievements in the theories, methods, technologies, systems, and engineering applications of active, semi-active, and intelligent control for civil engineering structures.
