Abstract

Two degree of freedom (2 DOF) mass spring damper system is used in representing as building structure that dealing with the earthquake vibration. The real analytical input is used to the system that taken at El Centro earthquake that occurred in May 1940 with magnitude of 7.1 Mw. Two types of controller are presented in controlling the vibration which are fuzzy logic (FL) and sliding mode controller (SMC). The paper was aimed to improve the performance of building structure towards vibration based on proposed controllers. Fuzzy logic and sliding mode controller are widely known with robustness character. The mathematical model of two degree of freedom mass spring damper wasis derived to obtain the relationship between mass, spring, damper, force and actuator. Fuzzy logic and sliding mode controllers were implemented to 2 DOF system to suppress the earthquake vibration of two storeys building. Matlab/Simulink was used in designing the system and controllers to present the result of two storeys displacement time response and input control voltage for uncontrolled and controlled system. Then the data of earthquake disturbance was taken based on real seismic occurred at El Centro to make it as the force disturbance input to the building structure system. The controllers proposed would minimize the vibration that used in sample earthquake disturbance data. The simulation result was carried out by using Matlab/Simulink. The simulation result showed sliding mode controller was better controller than fuzzy logic. In specific, by using the controller, earthquake vibration can be reduced.
