Abstract

In this research, the simultaneous effect of the prediction horizon (Np) and control horizon (Nc) parameters on the efficiency of MPC controller for the structure equipped with MR damper is studied. The model structures are two three- and five-story shear frames equipped with MR dampers that have been subjected to earthquake excitation. In the control process, in order to check the effect of the parameters, first the states and control force weight matrices have been adjusted and then the combined effect of the Np and Nc has been investigated. The results of the simulations show that choosing the value of the Np as Np≃(10×DOF) ±10 and the Nc as Nc≃(10×DOF) has a better performance in terms of achieving the control goals, and choosing higher values only increases the calculations.
