Abstract
There seems to be a strong demand for control schemes that include mechanical design criteria explicitly, e.g. in relation to active structural control during seismic excitation. Reduction of extreme response levels is the main objective, although the resulting decrease of response energy will also serve to prevent fatigue damage accumulation in structural components.
