43. Vibration Control Measures
Vibration control measures aim to mitigate the effects of dynamic loads on structures, particularly during seismic events. By utilizing passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid control systems, engineers can significantly reduce structural response and enhance safety. The chapter delves into various systems and their principles, applications, and limitations, along with selection criteria for effective implementation.

What we have learnt
- Vibration control aims to reduce structural response to dynamic forces like earthquakes.
- Different types of control systems include passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid methods.
- Key selection criteria for vibration control measures involve structural characteristics, performance requirements, and economic considerations.
Key Concepts
- -- Vibration Control
- The implementation of devices or systems to reduce, isolate, or redirect vibrations from external or internal sources.
- -- Passive Control Systems
- Systems that do not require external power to function and are designed to absorb or dissipate energy.
- -- Active Control Systems
- Systems that use external energy to actively counteract vibrations through actuators and sensors.
- -- Hybrid Control Systems
- Systems that combine both passive and active techniques for optimized performance.
