Hybrid geno-fuzzy controller for seismic vibration control

This paper evaluates the possibility of applying a geno-fuzzy control strategy to a magnetorheological semi-active damper for seismic vibration control. The proposed control starategy is designed and then tested and validated in a simulated environment. The control strategy is validated by considering a more destructive seismic disturbance as input for the damper-structure system. The proposed geno-fuzzy hybrid controller offers improved performance and implementability for real-time applications.
