Proposal of a parallel supporting damper with tendon and robust control system design

tn this paper, a new type damper is proposed. It is based on the Tendon control and is constructed using parallel supporting mechanism, by which this damper has some effective features. One of them is the effect of dynamic absorber. And some control system is designed for the structure with this proposed damper. It aims at the improvement of vibration property, the guarantee of robust stability and the low sensitivity property for disturbance. Some simulation results show the good performance of it.
