Vibration Control of Structure Using the Toggle System
Toggle 시스템을 이용한 구조물의 진동제어
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the geometric nonlinearity of a toggle system and to evaluate the vibration control performance when the toggle system with a viscous damper was applied to a structure. Numerical analysis shows that the relative displacement of the structure can be amplified by amplification mechanism of the toggle system and the capacity of the damper can be reduced without the loss of vibration control performance. It is also observed that the geometric nolinearity of toggle system using the linear viscous damper has little effect on the performance.
