active damping systems design with matlab

I'm a graduate student and my research area is about structural control systems in civil engineering. Especially active damping systems in civil engineering applications. When i looked at internet, i see that these kind of applications are written with matlab. And this programming language is very helpful to civil engineers in this area. So I want to learn matlab for programming this damping device. and simulink for modeling it.

what do you prefer to me? books, tutorials, research papers, anything you can say. but i need you to make attention that the books and tutorials are need to be for civil engineers. not for mech / electrics and electronical engineers. but if you insist that your prefer will be very good for me, please inform me where i can benefit from it. please tell me where i can start?

To provide appropriate recommendations, I would first need to evaluate your proficiency level.

Could you please share details about the software you utilized during your undergraduate civil engineering studies to model active damping systems in structural control systems?

Your response would help me assess whether you can effectively transfer your modeling skills and structural control design strategies to MATLAB.

Hi Ky, if you have not used Matlab before, the very first thing you can do is the Matlab Onramp tutorial on the Mathworks site, which you can get to in a flash by just by googling Matlab Onramp.

there are tons of publications on internet

Passive, semi-active, active and hybrid mass dampers: A literature review with associated applications on building-like structures - ScienceDirect

Application of Active Tendons to the Damping of Aerospace and Civil Engineering Structures | SpringerLink

Practical Application of Active Mass Damping for Floors in a Commercial Building | SpringerLink

(PDF) Passive and Active Structural Vibration Control in Civil Engineering | Michael C Constantinou - Academia.edu

among the best books I have found on the topic, look for the ones written by André Preumont (ULB)

Vibration Control of Active Structures: An Introduction | SpringerLink

I also provide some publications in attachment - hope it helps
