In general, to maximize the supply and efficiency of floating offshore wind power generation energy, the motion caused by wave attenuation of the substructure must be reduced. According to previous studies, the motion response was reduced due to the vortex viscosity generated by the damping plate installed in the lower structure among the waves. In this study, a 5 MW semi-submersible OC5 platform and two platforms with attenuation plates were designed, and free decay experiments and numerical calculations were performed to confirm the effect of reducing motion due to vortex viscosity. As a result of the model test, when the heave free decay tests were conducted at drop heights of 30 mm, 40 mm, and 50 mm, compared with the OC5 platform, the platform with two types of damping plates attached had relatively improved motion damping performance. In the model test and numerical calculation results, the damping plate models, KSNU Plate 1 and KSNU Plate 2, were 1.1 times and 1.3 times lower than OC5, respectively, and the KSNU Plate 2 platform showed about two times better damping performance than OC5. This study shows that the area of the damping plate and the vortex viscosity are closely related to the damping rate of the heave motion.

본 연구는 적은 감쇠(damping) 효과를 가지면서도 안정적으로 의복의 움직임을 생성할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. 최근 의복 시뮬레이션 분야에서는 뛰어난 수치적 안정성을 지닌 암시적 적분법(implicit integration)이 널리 이용되어 왔다. 그러나, 암시적 적분법은 선형화 과정에서 과도한 감쇠효과가 발생하고, 이 감쇠효과는 내부 변형 없는 회전이동 시에도 과도하게 나타나므로, 옷감의 회전 이동이나 주름의 자연스런 움직임을 크게 방해한다. 본 연구는 불필요한 감쇠효과를 줄이고 안정적으로 의복의 움직임을 표현할 수 있는 새로운 암시적 적분법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법용 선형화 과정에서 발생하는 내부 감쇠력을 회전이용이 아닌 순수한 내부 변형에 대해서만 발생하도록 모델링하며, 이렇게 계산된 내부 감쇠력을 역학식에 안정적으로 반영한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법들에 비해 보다 다양한 재질의 옷감을 과도한 감쇠 효과 없어도 안정적으로 실시간에 생성할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This paper presents a tuned mass damper (TMD) utilizing a parametric design technique to reduce the dynamic responses to seismic loads of retractable large spatial structures. An artificial intelligence algorithm was developed to automatically search for the installation position of the damping device. This enables confirming the dynamic response of the structure in real time while finding the optimum position for the damping device. Further, the optimum mass of the damping device is determined from among several alternatives, and a design that can be effectively applied to both open and closed conditions of the roof is obtained.

Recently constructed ships are equipped with high efficiency propeller for low fuel consumption and comfortable operation. Based on the torsional vibration analysis of the shaft system of the high efficiency propeller, using the propeller damping method considering the characteristics of previous propeller designs, a considerable amount of analysis errors are found to be generated. These errors are expected to increase as the development of high efficiency vibration propellers continues. In this paper, errors in torsional vibration analysis, in accordance with various propeller damping methods, are reviewed. In addition, a propeller damping method suitable for use at present is suggested by reviewing the comparison results of analysis and measurement values according to the propeller damping methods for vessels adopting the high efficiency direct-coupled propeller with 10MW class.

This study investigates the effect of site class, post-yield stiffness ratio, damping ratio, yield-strength reduction factor, and natural period on inelastic displacement ratio of bilinear SDF systems located at the sites classified as NEHRP site class B,C,D. The previous studies developed inelastic displacement ratio using equal displacement rule in the intermediate and long period range. But, this approximation overestimates the inelastic displacement ratio. Furthermore, inelastic displacement ratio has not been developed for the systems having a damping ratio less than 5%. This study conducts nonlinear regression analysis for proposing equations for calculating median and deviation of the inelastic displacement ratio of the bilinear SDOF system having damping ratios ranging from 0 to 20%. Using median and deviation of the inelastic displacement ratio, probabilistic inelastic displacement ratio is estimated, which can be used for performance-based seismic evaluation.

An equation is presented to calculate wave height due to shoaling, refraction and bottom friction. The equation in an integral form is evaluated by two different methods： A numerical method and an analytical method based on approximation. Both methods are used to calculate wave height and show very good agreement between their results. As shown in the figure of wave height variation vs. relative water depth, an increase of incident angle leads to a decrease in wave height. For the case of normal incident wave, the present equation can be reduced, under some assumptions, to the existing equation of Bretschneider and Reid (1954).

A friction damper installed at a building shows nonlinear behavior since its stick and slip states are occurred repeatedly depending on the amplitude of external loadings to dissipate input energy. Friction damping is existed for the building with a friction damper. In additionally viscous one is inherently included. Therefore, the building installed in such combined damping is quite involved to find the analytical solution. In this study, first, displacement and acceleration characteristics are identified based on the exact solution for a single-degree-freedom building with a friction damper having both friction and viscous damping. Second, in free vibration, the equivalent viscous damping ratio is obtained by the energy dissipation. Third, numerical analysis is carried out to find response configuration with various friction force ratios. Fourth, corresponding equivalent viscous damping ratio is derived with the finding that the response reaches into steady-state for both friction and viscous damped structure. It is deduced using balance of input external energy and output dissipation energy for steady-state response. Finally, the equivalent viscous damping ratios of free or harmonic vibration are verified through nonlinear analysis.

In this study, predictive equations of the normalized shear modulus and the damping ratio curves for loose medium sands reinforced by vinyl strip-cement are proposed. Based on the results of a series of resonant-column tests (Yu, et al., 2018) conducted under the confining stresses of 15, 30, 60 kPa on sand specimens prepared with 40% relative density and reinforced by various contents of vinyl strip (0.0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.4%) and cement (0, 1, 2%), the equations estimating the normalized shear modulus and the damping ratio are proposed as functions of reinforcing conditions and confining stresses. The comparison between predicted and measured values of shear modulus and damping ratio shows a good agreement and the reliability of proposed predictive equations are validated by high R2-value greater than 0.9. Therefore, it is expected that the time and the cost required for constructing the normalized shear modulus and the damping ratio curves will be much reduced by using proposed equations in this study since those can easily be estimated without conducting resonant-column test.

본 논문은 능동 구속층 감쇠(active constrained layer damping) 처리된 관의 동적 모델링과 정식화를 제시한다. 판의 운동방정식은 Hamilton정리를 이용하여 전개된 판, piezoelectric film 및 점탄성층의 운동방정식을 조합하므로서 유도된다. 이 운동방정식은 외부인가전압의 영향하에서 적층판의 해석적 모델을 제공할 뿐만이 아니라, 판 구조내에서 진동에너지를 감소시킬 수 있는 전단층의 효과에 대한 변위관계식을 나타낸다. 그리고 운동방정식에 대응하는 경계조건도 유도되었다. 또한 판과 능동구속층감쇠계의 동특성을 설명하기 위한 유한요소모델이 유도되었다. 이 모델의 타당성을 실온조건에서 실험적으로 입증하였다. 개발된 이론 및 실험적인 결과들은 판과 능동구속층 감쇠계가 구조진동의 감쇠를 위한 매우 유효한 수단으로 사용될 수 있음을 나타내었다.

This paper is concerned with a new concept for the damper without neither a coil spring nor fluid. The new damper concept consists of the permanent magnets and the cylinder of the conducting material. The opposite pole magnets produces the repulsive forces and this is substituted for the coil spring. The relative motion between the magnets and conducting cylinder produces eddy currents thus resulting in the electromagnetic force, which turns out to be the damping force and is substituted for a damping fluid. This damper is called the eddy current damper(ECD). The important advantage of the proposed ECD is that it does not require any damping fluid and any external power and is non-contacting and relatively insensitive to temperature. In the present study, the proposed ECD was constructed and the experiments were performed to investigate its dynamic characteristics. The experiments shows that the proposed ECD has the excellent damping ability.
