Abstract
So far no reports have been presented for the use of general type 2 fuzzy systems to control civil engineering structures. Considering the increasing success of this algorithm in other fields the importance of addressing general type 2 fuzzy systems becomes evident. Control systems always deal with Uncertainty; therefore, studying innovative algorithms that can effectively manage uncertainty seems necessary. The fuzzy membership functions in general type 2 systems provides additional degrees of freedom for design, giving these systems a higher potential for considering uncertainties. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed general type 2 fuzzy control system, type 1 and interval type 2 fuzzy systems and a linear quadratic Gaussian controller (LQG) as a classic control method have been designed.. The performance of the controllers on a 20-story nonlinear benchmark structure has been evaluated through computer simulation in MATLAB. By comparing the responses of the structure equipped with these four proposed controllers, it can be concluded that general type 2 fuzzy controller performs better in reducing structural responses and preventing damage to structural members. It is hoped that this research can serve as a starting and encouraging point for the application of powerful general Type 2 fuzzy tool in civil engineering purposes, especially in structural vibration control.
