LPV-based MR damper modelling

Abstract

An MR damper is a device that exhibits a high nonlinear and complex behavior with a hysteresis phenomenon. A comparison between different state-of-the-art and a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) models for Magneto-Rheological (MR) dampers is presented. Several experimental datasets validate that Linear Parameter Varying (LPV)-based model outperforms the classical MR damper models for 51 % than any structures considering the Error to Signal Ratio index and 37 % better considering the Squared root of Sum of Squared Errors index.
