In active vibration control of building, controller design considering both control input saturation of controller and parameter uncertainties of building is needed. In our previous research, we proposed a robust saturation controller which guarantees robust stability and control performance of the uncertain linear time-invariant system in the presence of control input saturation. In this paper, the availability of the robust saturation controller for the building with an active mass damper (AMD) system is verified through experimental tests. Experimental tests are carried oui using a two-story building model with a hydraulic-type AMD.

전자기력을 이용한 능동 진동제어는 1979년 Ellis 및 Mote가 원형 톱의 횡 진동의 감쇠에 관한 연구를 수행하였고, 1990년 Hong Su 및 T.S.Sankar등은 시스템의 절대 위치, 절대 속도 및 상대 위치 등의 제어 변수에 대하여 전자기 액튜에이터의 동적 특성이 진동 절연 성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. 본 연구는 상부질량과 하부질량이 스프링으로 연결된 2자유도 모델의 능동 진동제어에 대하여 이론해석과 실험해석을 수행하고 각각의 결과를 비교하였다. 실험모델은 직선운동 가이드에 설치된 2개의 질량과 하나의 전자기 액튜에이터를 이용하였다. 진동제어 방법으로서는 모우드 해석에 의한 제어, 스카이 훅 감쇠 제어, Viscous damping 제어 방법을 적용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 이론해석 결과와 실험 결과를 비교하고 비슷한 제어효과에 대해서 에너지 소비가 작은 효율적인 제어방법을 찾는데 있다.

The real-time hybrid testing method(RT-HYTEM) is a structural testing technique in which the numerical integration of the equation of motion for a numerical substructure and the physical testing for an experimental substructure are performed simultaneously in real-time. This study presents the quantitative evaluation of the seismic performance of a building structure installed with an passive and semi-active MR damper by using RT-HYTEM. The building model that was identified from the force-vibration testing results of a real-scaled 5-story building is used as the numerical substructure, and an MR damper corresponding to an experimental substructure is physically tested by using the universal testing machine(UTM). The RT-HYTEM implemented in this study is validated because the real-time hybrid testing results obtained by application of sinusoidal and earthquake excitations and the corresponding analytical results obtained by using the Bouc-Wen model as the control force of the MR damper respect to input currents were in good agreement. Also for preliminary study, some semi-active control algorithms were applied to the MR damper in order to control the structural responses optimally. Comparing between the test results of semi-active control using RT-HYTEM and numerical analysis results show that the RT-HYTEM is more resonable than numerical analysis to evaluate the performance of semi-active control algorithms.

The active noise cancellation system offers a better low frequency performance with a smaller and lighter system compared to a passive one. This paper presents an active noise control system capable of reducing the noise in a helmet after attenuating the external noise using the helmet as the passive noise reduction system, which consists of a controller for inverting and compensating the phase delay, a microphone for picking up the external noise, and a loudspeaker for radiating the acoustic anti-phase signal to reduce the external noise. In this paper, external noise can be reduced by noise controller by compensating the phase difference to be 180°in the frequency of maximun value in the amplitude response. The noise of the phase delay covered from 50°to 310°was reduced in this system and it is possible to obtain a noise reduction of up to approximately 20 dB at the ears in the enclosure.

This study investigates the seismic responses of two structures connected by a sky-bridge equipped with viscoelastic dampers (VED) at the bridge-building connections. The applicability of the method is verified first by observing RMS (root-mean-squared) responses of two-degrees-of-freedom systems subjected to white noise ground excitation. Then model structures with various number of stories are analyzed using earthquake ground motions to observe the effect of the varying size of VED on the reduction of dynamic responses. According to the analysis results, there exists a proper size of VED which minimizes the structural responses. It is also observed that the effectiveness of VED increases as the difference of natural frequencies between the two connected structures increases.

This paper proposes an optimal design method of distribution and capacities of linear viscous dampers for vibration control of two adjacent buildings. The previous researches have dealt with suboptimal design problem under the assumption that linear viscous dampers are distributed uniformly or proportionally to the sensitivity of the modal damping ratio according to floors, whereas this study deals with global optimization problem in which the damping capacities of each floor are independently selected as design parameters. For this purpose, genetic algorithm to effectively search multiple design variables in large searching domains is adopted and objective function leading to the global optimal solutions is established through the comparison of several optimal design values obtained from different objective functions with control performance and damping capacity. The effectiveness of the proposed method is investigated by comparing the control performance and total damping capacity designed by the proposed method with those of the previous method. In addition, the time history analyses are performed by using three historical earthquakes with different frequency contents, and the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is an effective seismic design method for the vibration control of the adjacent structures.

Optimal design method of nonlinear damping system for seismic response control of adjacent structures is studied in this paper. The objective functions of the optimal design are defined by structural response and total amount of the dampers. In order to obtain a solution minimizing two mutually conflicting objective functions simultaneously, multi-objective optimization technique based on genetic algorithm is adopted. In addition, stochastic linearization method is embedded into the multi-objective framework to efficiently estimate the seismic responses of the adjacent structures interconnected by nonlinear hysteretic dampers without performing nonlinear time-history analyses. As a numerical example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique, 20-story and 10-story buildings are considered and MR dampers of which hysteretic behaviors vary with the magnitude of the input voltage are considered as nonlinear hysteretic damper interconnecting two adjacent buildings. The proposed approach can provide the optimal number and capacities of the MR dampers, which turned out to be more economical than the uniform distribution system while maintaining similar control performance. The proposed damper system is verified to show more stable performance in terms of the pounding probability between two adjacent buildings. The applicability of the proposed method to the design problem for optimally placing semi-active control system is examined as well.

회전체 진동은 주로 밸런싱에 의해 줄일수 있지만 위험속도에서 나타나는 회전체 진동은 종종 피할 수 없다. 전자기 베어링은 이러한 회전체 진동을 능동적으로 제어하는 방법으로써 사용된다. 비접촉으로 회전체에 힘을 작용하는 동흡진기(dynamic vibration absorber)는 기존의 것에 비해 새로운 것을 필요로 하지 않는 아주 간단한 방법이다. 영구자석으로 구성된 자석 댐퍼는 비접 촉동흡진기의 일종이지만 영구자석만으로는 적절한 감쇠 성능을 만족시킬 수 없다. 따라서 영 구자석과 전자석을 동시에 사용하는 하이브리드 자석이 넓은 운전영역에서 좋은 진동제어 성능을 자지기 때문에 유용하다. 전력공급의 편리성을 위해서 하이브리드 자석을 합진기쪽에 설치하고 여러 개의 편으로 된 영구자석은 회전체의 주위에 부착하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 수직 회전 체(vertical rotor)의 진동을 제어하기 위해서 전자기력을 이용하는 하이브리드 관성 댐퍼를 개 발하는 것이다. 지금까지 전자석을 이용한 진동제어는 여러 저자에 의해 연구되어 왔으며 자기 베어링은 회전체의 진동을 제어하기 위한 전형적인 예이다. 그러나 회전체에 능동관성 댐퍼를 직접 적용한 예는 없었다. 이동흡진기는 전자석의 반발력(repulsive force)을 이용하고 흡진기의 운동에 의해 에너지가 감쇠된다. 반면에 자기 베어링에서는 전자석의 흡인력(attractive force)을 이용한다.
