Preface
Structural control is a promising approach aimed at the suppression of unwanted
dynamic phenomena in structures. It proposes the use of approaches and tools
from control theory for analysis and manipulation of structures’ dynamic
behavior, with emphasis on suppression of seismic and wind responses. This
book addresses problems in optimal structural control. It gathers some of our
recent contributions to methods and techniques for solving optimal control
problems that rise in structural control problems. Namely, it deals with solving
optimal control design problems that are related to passive and semi-active
controlled structures. The formulated problems consider constraints and
excitations that are common in structural control. Optimal control theory is used
in order to solve these structural control design problems in a rigorous manner,
and based on a firm theoretical background. This monograph begins with a
discussion on models that are commonly used for civil structures and control
actuators. Modern theoretical concepts, such as dissipativity and passivity
of dynamic systems, are discussed in the context of the addressed problems.
Optimal control theory and suitable successive methods are over-viewed.
Novel solutions for optimal passive and semi-active control design problems
are derived, based on firm theoretical foundations. These results are verified by
numerical simulations of typical civil structures subjected to different types of
dynamic excitations.
The books is suitable for researchers and graduate students with background
in civil engineering, structural control, control theory and basic knowledge in
optimal control.
We would like to accentuate here two famous researchers whose contributions
had significant influence on the results that are presented in this monograph—
Prof. Jacob Gluck (1934–2001) and Prof. Vadim F. Krotov (1932–2015).
Prof. Gluck was an Israel civil engineering researcher. He was an expert in

seismic design as well as pioneer in structural computer-aided-design and
structural control. In addition to being a famous researcher, he was a wonderful
teacher and a pleasant person who devoted his life to advancing the field of civil
engineering in Israel out of sincere concern for the lives and safety of people.
Prof. Krotov was a honored Russian researcher, whose work focused on theory
of nonlinear controlled dynamic systems and variational analysis in physics.
His ideas have granted two main contributions to the theory of optimal control:
a new theoretical approach to sufficient optimality conditions, and an iterative
computational technique for deriving a sequence of monotonically improving
control laws. This monograph is inspired by Prof. Gluck’s vision and Prof.
Krotov’s bright ideas.
