Using the measurements obtained by the pressure transducers, pressure coefficients (matrix Cp) are evaluated at each tap location as a function of time. These values are used with the full-scale model to give the pressure distribution on the surface. The pressure values on the surface of the prototype can be calculated as le P( spacetime) = 3 pU°Cp (spacetime), 6) where P(space,time) is a matrix containing the pressure values on the surface of the full scale model as a function of space (x, y, and 2) and time; p isthe air density which is assumed to be 1.25kg/m?

Controllers and Limitations In this study, both TMDs and ATMDs are used for the re- duction of the lateral responses of the building. However, in order to make the design of such control systems more reais ticand applicable, the following restrictions and assumption, are applied. (i) The mass ofthe TMD in the x-direction is 100ton, while the mass of the TMD in the y-direction is 150 ton. Such restrictions are applied to avoid exces- sive weight on the roof (the overall mass on the roof is about 0.625% of the overall building’ mas). (ii) The TMDs are tuned to the first vibrational mode in each corresponding lateral direction. The damping, factor is taken to be 20% of the critical. This amount ‘of damping is selected higher than the optimal value forthe sake of restricting the stroke of the ATMDs. (iil) The maximum stroke of the actuators is restricted to 15m, ‘Smart Materials Research direction config 0.1) u ‘ieton (contig. no.) os 2 gu = g i a 2 pay al ow 5 We ms 1m 5 90 “9051905270315 30 Wid deton ange (ep) Wind direction angle) « © scion (confi 00.2) ition config 0.2) 7 ied —>@ Ope vole - iran mccared — = a [pteiem one Zor * ? a4 =o a S 1) i Sos Bo tos 505 daa «3 02 © 8 so as aw as wo 0 ao aia) Sao SH Wind decom ange) Wind direction angle ep) © @ Ficune 15: Maximum accelerations ofthe top corner of the tover.

(¥) The computational delay and the sampling rate of the digital controller are 0.001 5. (vi) Three acceleration measurements are available for cach lateral direction (at floor 30, roof, and mass of the TMD) [Note that the tower requited a TMD with heavier mass and ATMD with higher control force in one lateral direction than the other, which was basically attributed to geometry.

For comparison reasons, fuzzy logic controllers are used in this study to command the actuators of the ATMDs (see Nguyen etal. [34)). From a design point of view, fuzzy logic controllers do not require the complexity of a traditional control system. The measured accelerations can be used di- rectly as input to the fuzzy controller. The main advantages of using a fuzzy control algorithm are summarized in Bat- tain etal. [35] and Samali et al. [36]. According to Samali etal [36], uncertainties of input data are treated in a much easier way by fuzzy control theory than by classical control theory. Since fuzzy controllers are based on linguistic syn- thesis, they possess inherent robustness. Fuzzy controllers can be easily implemented in a fuzzy chip with immediate reaction time and autonomous power supply. Furthermore, the design of fuzzy controller does not requite state reduc tion or concerning about observers. Only two acceleration ‘measurements were used (floor 30 and roof). ‘The input variables to the fuzzy controller were selected as accelerations of floors 30 and 48 and the output as the control force. The membership functions for the inputs were defined and selected as seven triangles with overlaps as shown in Figure 8, For the output, they were defined and selected as nine triangles with overlaps as shown in Figure 9. ‘The fuzzy variables used to define the fuzzy space are ZR (zero), PVS (positive very small, PS (positive small), PM (positive medium), PL (positive large), PVL (positive very large), NVS (negative very small), NS (negative smal), NM (negative medium), NL (negative large), and NVL (negative
