Description
Summary:A magneto-rheological damper, which is controlled by a magnetic field, is an effective smart damping device in structural control. Because of the complexity of its dynamics, however, the modeling and control of magneto-rheological dampers is still a challenging problem. In this article, an improved multi-state-dependent parameter estimation method is introduced and employed for magneto-rheological damper modeling. To provide a comprehensive training data, a modified Bouc–Wen model is used as the reference model. According to various tests, the proposed multi-state-dependent parameter model can predict the magneto-rheological damper response over a wide range of operating conditions fairly accurately.
