Abstract
The Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD) method offers a practical and cost-effective solution for seismic design. Accurate modeling of the TLD system’s dynamic behavior is crucial for optimizing its performance. In this study, the nonlinear dynamics of the TLD system are characterized using the Housner model, with parameters estimated via a nonlinear state estimation approach. To address challenges associated with model discretization and unknown noise processes, we introduce a Robust Extended Kalman Filter (REKF) that incrementally incorporates uncertainties to more accurately capture system dynamics. The proposed method is evaluated through real-time hybrid simulation, employing seismic input sign... More >
