Three optimal control algorithms are proposed for reducing oscillations of flexible nonlinear structures subjected to general stochastic dynamic loads, such as earthquakes, waves, winds, etc. The optimal control forces are determined analytically by minimizing a time-dependent quadratic performance index, and nonlinear equations of motion are solved using the Wilson-θ numerical procedures. The optimal control algorithms developed for applications to nonlinear structures are referred to as the instantaneous optimal control algorithms, including the instantaneous optimal open-loop control algorithm, instantaneous optimal closed-loop control algorithm, and instantaneous optimal closed-open-loop control algorithm. These optimal algorithms are computationally efficient and suitable for on-line implementation of active control systems to realistic nonlinear structures. Numerical examples are worked out to demonstrate the applications of these optimal control algorithms to nonlinear structures. In particular, control of structures undergoing inelastic deformations under strong earthquake excitations are illustrated. The advantage of using combined passive/active control systems is also demonstrated.

Subsynchronous oscillation (SSO) or torsional vibration may cause shaft of steam turbine generator hurt heavily. This phenomenon has destroyed two generator shafts in one of China’s power plant in 2008. Detailed analysis and several measurements have been taken to identify the reason of the accident. First, the operational data is analyzed, including field torsional vibration dada. Then, the modal of the shaft system is calculated. Each torsional vibration frequency is gotten with corresponding modal shape. Dangerous location of the shaft system is obtained. Third, torque value of different operation condition is calculated based on two different models: one is traditional multiple mass element rotor dynamic model and the other is an four mass element electromechanical model of rotor oscillation. Following, the maximum stress on the dangerous location is calculated using finite element method. Finally, the root cause of shaft destruction is analyzed and identified.
