A Review on Adaptive Methods for Structural Control

Abstract

Adaptive control algorithms are widely used in many technical fields like aeronautics and robotics for controlling systems whose characteristics vary with time or are uncertain. In the last decades, with the diffusion of active and semiactive control applications in civil engineering, adaptive methods started to be adopted for structural control. This paper provides an up-to-date survey on strategies currently available for adaptive control and a literature overview of solutions examined until today for structural applications.
