Abstract :

During the last decade more and more attention has been put to vibration mitigation of structures subjected to environmental (i.e. seismic and wind loads) and manmade (i.e. traffic or heavy machinery) loads. In this paper an overall control system is explained in brief and also various applications of control system. Now a day a Sevier Earthquake occurs over globally, it is necessary that structure build across the seismic zone built under considerations of seismic resistance. The seismic resistance can be done by using control devices. The control devices are damper. The damper can be classified into various categories based on its functions or control system. The control system classifications are Active, Passive, Hybrid and Semi active control system. Passive control system is internally energy develops, Active requires external power, Semi active requires partially power consumptions. Numerical applications of control system are explained. The overall conclusions say that Semi active control system is more suitable compare to other control system.
