Model based semi-active control algo-
rithms are very sensitive to the accuracy
of the mathematical model of the structure.
The proposed model based algorithms
should be supported with procedures to
identify structural parameters. This re-
mains to be further investigated using
adaptive backstepping, fuzzy backstep-
ping, etc. Robust backstepping technique
may be further explored to minimize the
sensitivity of the model based algorithms
to noise.

Along with the mathematical models for
the structures, neuro based training algo-
rithms should be supplemented to consider
the uncertainty in modeling arising out
of the flexibility at connections, effect of
nonlinearity (material and geometric), etc.
Thereafter the controller should be de-
signed on these hybrid models.

Powering active/semi-active devices is
concern to engineers. Although semi active
devices operate at battery power, mainte-
nance and mounting of sensors and control
devices at remote locations provides chal-
lenge and are not cost effective. Therefore,
coming up with self powered, less energy
consuming devices and sensors remains an
effective choice in future. In this context
one can design self powered MR dampers,
which will be cost effective and environ-
mental friendly.
