Abstract:A new instantaneous optimal control algorithm based on time domain explicit method for the connected structures subjected to non-stationary random excitations is proposed. The proposed algorithm has the advantage of establish control model by applying impulse load upon finite element model, also avoided the problem of system state partially observable, and can adjust the control effects of every sub-structure as needed under different circumstances. A connection tall building structures is taken as the example to illustrate the proposed method, and compared the proposed method with the traditional instantaneous optimal control algorithm (ISO). It is found that the proposed method has good control effect.
