A steel frame with a semi-rigid connection is one of the most widely used structural systems in modern construction. These systems are cheap to make, require less time to construct and offer the highest quality and reliable construction quality without the need for highly skilled workers. However, these systems show greater natural periods compared to their perfectly rigid frame counterparts. This causes the building to attract low loads during earthquakes. In this research study, the seismic performance of steel frames with semi-rigid joints is evaluated. Three connections with capacities of 50, 70 and 100% of the beam’s plastic moment are studied and examined. The seismic performance of these frames is determined by a non-linear static pushover analysis and an incremental dynamic analysis leading finally to the fragility curves which are developed. The results show that a decrease in the connection capacity increases the probability of reaching or exceeding a particular damage limit state in the frames is found.

This work deals with the performance improvement study of the direct torque control (DTC) of induction Motor (IM) based on Fuzzy Second Order Sliding Mode Control (FSOSMC). Direct torque control using conventional Second Order Sliding Mode Control regulators has certain disadvantages such as significant flux, torque ripples and sensitivity to parametric variations. To overcome these drawbacks, we apply a new type with more robust regulators such as the fuzzy second order sliding mode control. In recent years, Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm have attracted considerable attention among various modern heuristic optimization techniques. This paper proposes the ant colony optimization algorithm with fuzzy second order sliding mode controller based direct torque control of induction motor to enhance the system performance and stability. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed DTC-FSOSMC system by effectively accelerating system response, reducing torque and flux ripple and a very satisfactory performance has been achieved.

This work deals with the study and performance improvement of the direct power control of DFIG based on backstepping Controller. Direct power control using hysteresis regulator has certain disadvantages such as significant powers ripples, variable switching frequency and sensitivity to parametric variations. To surmount these disadvantages, we present a robust controller such as the backstepping-based direct power control using SVM. A comparison study was made between the classic direct power control and the backstepping controller. The simulation results show that the backstepping controller provides good results reduces powers ripples.
