The purpose of this paper is to apply fuzzy control theory in active structural control. A single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure is used to develop the basic approach. The approach is then extended to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structures with the usage of weighted displacement and weighted velocity. A band-pass white noise or large amount of earthquake records are used as excitations to the structures to calculate the normalized displacements and velocities for obtaining the range of weighted displacements and velocities. Several examples are utilized to demonstrate the feasibility of fuzzy control methodology. It is shown that the fuzzy controller can achieve satisfactory results in the application of active control of structures and the feasibility is verified.
