Building Model

Description: Motion Problem in a Building

This benchmark models the displacement of a multi-storey building for example during an Earthquake. More details can be found in and , .

Origin

This benchmark is part of the SLICOT Benchmark Examples for Model Reduction.

Data

The system matrices $A$, $B$, $C$ are available from the SLICOT benchmarks page: build.zip and are stored as MATLAB .mat file.

Dimensions

System structure:

$\begin{array}{rcl} \dot{x}(t) &=& Ax(t) + Bu(t) \\ y(t) &=& Cx(t) \end{array}$

System dimensions:

$A \in \mathbb{R}^{48 \times 48}$, $B \in \mathbb{R}^{48 \times 1}$, $C \in \mathbb{R}^{1 \times 48}$.
