ABSTRACT: To reduce resonant response of high-speed railway bridges, a combination of a tuned mass damper system and a magnetorheological damper (MR-STMD) is proposed in this paper. An H∞ control algorithm for uncertain models with norm-bounded parameters is derived to drive magnetorheological damping forces. The results of the optimal control problem are obtained based on the approach of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Besides, adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system technology (ANFIS) is also used to build the inverse model of MR dampers and enhance the tracking ability of MR dampers. It can lead to quite exact command voltage predictions. Finally, the effectiveness of the MR-STMD controlled by the proposed scheme is evaluated and compared with traditional tuned mass dampers through some numerical simulations. The results show that the MR-STMD controlled by the proposed algorithm can significantly reduce the resonant response of beams when compared with tuned mass dampers. Especially, it can improve the drawbacks of passive TMDs due to the de-tuning effect in manufacturing.

KEY WORDS: High-speed railway bridge, Tuned mass damper, Magnetorheological damper, H∞ control, Uncertain model, Linear matrix inequalities, ANFIS inverse model.

1 INTRODUCTION One of the common characteristics of civil structures is that the inherent structural damping to suppress vibrations is very small, and as a result, disturbances applied to these structures may induce long lasting and sometimes severe structural vibrations. Therefore, many kinds of energy dissipation systems such as tuned mass dampers (TMD), active tuned mass dampers (ATMD), fluid viscous dampers (FVD), piezo actuators and so on for vibration mitigation of civil and large scale mechanical structures have been investigated and developed.

It is well-known that the tuned mass damper is a simple, inexpensive and reliable damping device. It has been successfully implemented in real structures to reduce their dynamic responses due to environmental loadings such as wind and earthquakes. However, as a passive damper, the performance of TMD is limited. The very narrow band of suppression frequency, the ineffective reduction of non-stationary vibration, and the sensitivity problem due to detuning effect in manufacturing are the drawbacks of the TMD.

To overcome these problems, some previous studies [1,2] developed the traditional TMD model by using semi-active TMD systems with tunable damping and stiffness elements. The mechanical structures, in which their geometry parameters can be controlled by actuators, were suggested to adjust the damping and stiffness elements of TMD in these studies. However, it can be seen that they make TMD systems become very complicated and not easy to apply them in practice. More simply and applicably, some other researchers [3,4] replaced the damping elements in TMD systems with magnetorheological dampers. For MR dampers, they are known as a semi-active device with a very small energy required when compared with an active damper. Hence, it provides an extremely promising alternative to passive and active tuned mass dampers. To control MR dampers, the displacement based on-off groundhook (on-off DBG) control

was employed in these studies. The effectiveness of this solution was also proved. However, it should be noted that the on-off DBG algorithm can make the tracking ability of MR damper follow the desired control forces not exactly because its output commands only have the “on” or “off” state.

To improve the problems mentioned above and make MR-STMD dampers more effective, the semi-active H∞ control algorithm for uncertain models and the ANFIS technology to control MR-STMD dampers are proposed in this paper. The optimization algorithm with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is also used to get feasible solution to the problem. The numerical simulations and comparison with the traditional TMD dampers are presented to evaluate the effectiveness of MR-STMD dampers controlled by the proposed algorithm.

2 MODELING OF STRUCTURE AND DAMPER

2.1 Train and structural system The high speed load model A8 (HSLM-A8), one of high speed passenger trains in accordance with the requirements of the European Technical Specification [5], is used as a prototype of a moving train in what follows. The train has sixteen cars and the full length of each car is D = 25 m. The rated distance between the two bogies of a car measures d = 2.5 m. All required properties of the train are given in table 1 and figure 1. The train loads are applied at the centerline of single-track bridges with straight decks, and they move along the longitudinal direction at a constant speed.

Then, the equations of motion can be derived by using standard techniques:

2.2 Dynamic modeling of MR damper Several widely used models of MR dampers are briefly introduced, and their abilities to reproduce the hysteresis behavior of MR dampers are compared [7]. One well-known model that is numerically tractable and has been used extensively for modeling hysteretic systems is the Bouc-Wen model. The schematic of this model is shown in figure 2.

Inverse model of MR damper for control force: An inverse model of MR dampers as one part of a damping force control scheme is a model that predicts a control input voltage signal for a given displacement, velocity and force. The predicted input voltage, which is the input to MR dampers, is used to produce the desired force. In this section, the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system technology (ANFIS), a part of Fuzzy Logic Toolbox in MATLAB® [9], to build the inverse model is used.

A flowchart to calculate the input voltage signals u(t) is suggested in figure 3. The predicting voltage signal is based on the voltage and previous history of measured velocity v(t), v(t−1), desirable control force Us(t), Us (t−1) and the previous input voltage signal u(t − 1).

using ANFIS.

To ensure creation of a valid model, the data used for training must thoroughly cover the spectrum of operation in which the dampers will function. For this reason, the training data contains displacements that range from -40 mm to 40 mm and whose frequency content ranges from approximately 0 to 6 Hz. Signals used for training are produced using band-limited and Gaussian white-noise. A sample rate of 1000 per second is used to produce a total of 40000 sets of data for a simulation time of 40 seconds. Similarly, ranges of the voltage signal and frequency are 0 − 15 V and 0 − 6 Hz, respectively. Signals used for training are also produced using band-limited and Gaussian white-noise.

Of the 40000 original data sets, 14000 are used as training data while the remaining data is used as checking data. After several trials, best results can be found as shown in figures 4. It shows that the behavior of the ANFIS model matches very well with that of the mathematical model (the target model).

The purpose of the presented method is to predict the

optimal parameters of the control force by minimizing the structural transfer function in the resonant frequency band. It may be known that the structural transfer function at the ith resonant frequency is approximately equal to the ith modal transfer function at its resonant frequency. Therefore, for the ith resonant mode, the spring force of TMD can be expressed approximately as

3.2 H∞ controller design Every vibration mode is individually controlled in the independent modal space control. The selection of the modal control gains Gi must ensure suitable disturbance attenuation ability for the controlled mode. For this purpose, the H∞ controller design is adopted here.

In the H∞ based control system design, a controller is selected to internally stabilize the system in such a way that the H∞ norm of a transfer matrix, which describes certain design objectives, is minimized or becomes smaller than a specified value γi.

4 SIMULATION RESULTS In this section, the performance of the semi-active static output feedback H∞ controller applied to the simply supported beam under the high-speed train HSLM-A8 is evaluated. The physical properties of the beams are listed in table 3.

30 2.5 × 104 1.0 20.0 80.5 183.8 Note: LB is the length of each span; mB and ζB are the mass per unit length and damping ratio of the beam, respectively; ω (rad/s) is the ith natural frequency of the beam.

In simply supported bridges experiencing resonant

situations, the maximum response will most likely be associated to the contribution of the fundamental mode [12]. Under this circumstance, the response of modes different from the resonant mode is practically negligible in the optimization process.

The design objective of the H∞ controller is to find the control gain G1. By setting the mass ratio μs1=2%, then the spring stiffness ks, obtained by equations (4), is 2.91×106 N/m and ρ0=0.01 in inequality (22). After more than 50 iterations of the optimization process for LMIs (20) and (22) for the certain model, the control gain is G1 = [-19.231 0.081 -0.266 0.125] and the upper bound γ1 = 5.629. These results are also presented in figure 7.

Figure 7. Magnitude of closed-loop transfer functions T1

versus frequency.

In figure 7, it may be seen that the control gain vector determined above can lead to the minimum response of the main system in a large frequency range.

By using the control gain obtained above, the response of the main beam under the train is analyzed in figure 8. It can be found that the actual damping force generated by the MR damper can track the desired control force quite well except some deterioration ranges because of the limitation constrains of the MR damper in which its force is only produced in the first and third quadrants of the hysteretic force-velocity plane meanwhile the desired force can be produced in any of the four quadrants. The upper and lower limits of the MR force are also its constrains. Besides, figures 8 also prove that the phenomenon of the control spillover is not evident in this case.

Figure 9. Acceleration of the main beam versus speed of the

train.

Considering the frequency or speed domain, the accelerations at midspan of the main beam are presented in figure 9. The maximum accelerations at midspan of the main beam with the passive damper, the STMD-MR damper and the active damper decrease about 67.3 %, 73.8% and 80.3%, respectively, if compared to the case without any damper. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the active and semi-active dampers controlled by the proposed algorithm.

Detuning effect: It is well-known that optimal control gains used to generate the desired control force are significantly affected by the controlled structure frequencies. Therefore, knowledge of the controlled primary structure is required in order to accurately calculate control forces. However, structural property estimation and fabrication errors, the time-variant characteristics of the combined system may also make

primary frequencies be tuned. This is called the detuning effect. Thus, the combination of TMD and MR with the uncertain model proposed above to optimize control forces is expected to be a solution to reduce the detuning effect, and is more reliable and applicable for vibration control. To clarify the effectiveness of the proposed model, a numerical simulation for the above beam system is presented here. Firstly, uncertain parameters in equation (19) are set as follows: L, E1 and E2 are the 4 × 1, 1 × 4 and 4 × 1 matrices, respectively. Their elements are defined as following:

where the factor k0 =1.1. The control gains obtained by solving the optimization

problem (20) are G1 = [47.15 0.27 0.43 0.16]. Then, the maximum response of the main beam with STMD-MR damper versus detuned primary frequencies is shown in figure 10. It shows that when the original frequency of the main beam (ωB) is detuned by increasing ωB to (ωB+Δω), where 0 10%ω≤ Δ ≤ , the maximum acceleration of the main beam with the passive damper increases significantly. This is equivalent to the attenuation of the effectiveness of the traditional tuned mass damper. Meanwhile, the semi-active damper controlled by the proposed algorithm shows very little influence. This can confirm that the presented STMD-MR damper model is much more stable than the passive damper if the detuning effect happens.

the detuned frequencies on the uncertain model.

5 CONCLUSION Semi-active vibration control of railway bridges under the high-speed train has been investigated. The static output feedback H∞ controller combined with the ANFIS inverse model of MR dampers model proposed in this work can achieve compatible performance. It can be seen that the proper selection of the input data for the ANFIS model in this paper can lead to the quite exact command voltage predictions and this also makes the control voltage diagram versus time become smoother and avoids changing the MR forces

suddenly. Moreover, the proposed control scheme, validated by the numerical simulations, shows that the band of suppression frequency is extended. This can show that the main drawback of the traditional TMD systems is significantly improved.
