An experimental and numerical study on shock attenuation in a solid by a subminiature flyer impact was conducted to determine the performance of a subminiature exploding foil initiator such as, flyer velocity and impulse loading. The obtained attenuation pattern shows the possibility to determine the critical flyer velocity for initiating the miniaturized pyrotechnic unit by figuring out shock intensity and duration according to flight characteristics.

The seismic base isolation design approach has been reviewed and modified to fit the nonlinear static analysis procedure for determination of the performance point of structures in a simpler way, such an adaptation may be possible for the fact that a structural system under development of damage due to earthquake loading keeps softening to result in period shifting toward longer side. The superiority of the proposed method to the state-of-the-practice approach is that the reasonably accurate performance point can be obtained without constructing the so-called acceleration displacement response spectrum required in application of capacity spectrum method. The validity of the proposed approach was verified by comparing the predicted values to the exact ones presented in the literature.

The noise generated from a treadband mechanism of a tire has been the subject of this research. In particular, the treadband has been treated as an infinite tensioned beam resting on an elastic foundation which includes damping. The main objective is to predict the sound power generated from a system mentioned above by locating harmonic point forces representing the excitation of treadband at the contact patch. It is possible to predict the sound power radiated from this structure by using wavenumber transformation techniques. In order to find out the minimum radiated sound power, All parameters were varied. Thus, this model can be used as a tire design guide for selecting parameters which produces the minimum noise radiation.

원자력발전소의 주증기관은 증기발생기와 터빈을 연결하는 주요 계통으로서 여기서 발생하는 배관진동은 주요기기의 연결부, 밸브, 배관지지물과 건물 등에 복합적인 반복하중을 가하여 관련 지지물 및 구조물에 열화현상을 발생시켜 발전소의 안전운전에 심각한 영향을 초래할 가능성을 항상 내포하고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 배관진동 대책은 대부분 지지물을 추가로 설치하여 진동준위만 낮추고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 구체적인 배관진동의 예측, 측정 및 평가, 감쇠방안에 이르는 종합적이고 체계적인 연구가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지지물의 열화현상 및 부분적인 파손으로 진동준위가 높아진 것으로 추정되는 원자력발전소 주증기관의 진동특성 및 요인을 분석하여 진동감쇠 방안을 도출하고 검증함으로써 배관 및 주변 구조물의 건전성을 확보하고 설비의 신뢰성을 확보하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 주증기관을 모델링하여 해석하였으며, 발전소의 기동 및 정상운전시의 진동준위를 측정하였다. 또한 발전소의 정진기간중 일부 배관계에 대한 실험적 모우드 해석을 수행하였다. 여러가지 진동감쇠 방안을 검토하여 탄성지지 및 에너지 흡수효과를 동시에 발휘할 수 있는 특수 지지물(WEAR$_{TM}$)을 설치하는 방안을 도출하였으며, 현장에 설치한 후 배관의 진동상태를 확인함으로서 효과적인 방안임을 검증하였다.

To reduce the vibration in industrial settings, the viscous fluid dampers have been widely used. Since the damper shows a viscoelastic behavior, many methods to predict the behavior have been investigated. But the methods did not consider a change of damper size that is important factor for practical design engineer. In this study, to predict a change of damper ability with respect to a change of damper size, the dynamic experiment were conducted with fixed aspect ratio and gap. The damping coefficient at zero frequency was computed through theoretical and experiment approach in order to fit the experimental results using fractional derivative Maxwell model.

The satellite signals have attenuation when Satellite path have rain. The signal attenuation by rain is effected over 100Hz and higher frequency signal have very serious attenuation. The rain attenuation is due mostly to rain rate and rain rate data over 10 years need to estimate characteristics of distribution of ram rate. In this paper, We have obtained the rain characteristics from on the recent data(1988-1997) for Changwon-Masan approximated with Moupfouma New Model, and then estimated the rain attenuation using ITU-R, Global and SAM methods, and finally, Effect of rain was analyzed.

In the proposed paper, we analyzed the attenuation by atmospheric factors in the frequency bands for Radar. Radio frequencies using radar systems is susceptible to attenuation by atmospheric factors. The proposed paper analyze the attenuation by atmospheric factors in L, S, C and X bands. Among the attenuation of signals by atmospheric factors, the attenuation by water vapor and oxygen, which is atmospheric attenuation compared to the detection range, is at least 0.416 dB in the L band and 2.6 dB in the X band. The attenuation by rainfall is at least 0.06 dB in the L band and 20.2 dB in the X band. Finally, the attenuation by atmospheric factors is at least 0.416 dB in the L band and 22.8 dB in the X band. In conclusion, it is judged that the attenuation of atmospheric and rainfall is minimal in the L, S, and C bands, and that the influence of attenuation is large in the X band.

This study presents key parameters for the structure installed with MR controller in reducing its responses. MR controller is regarded as Bingham model of which control forces are frictional and viscous ones. The parameters are identified as friction force ratios, $R_f$ and $R_h$ which are, respectively, ratio of MR controller friction force to static restoring force for free vibration and ratio of the friction force to amplitude of harmonic force. Structure-MR controller system shows nonlinear response behavior due to friction force. Energy balance strategy is adopted to transform the behavior to linear one with equivalent damping ratio. Finally, proposed equivalent linear process is compared to the nonlinear one, which turns out to give acceptably good results.

This study has its own goal to deliver the accurate dose on the target volume by calculating and modifying the attenuation rate of photon beam transmitting the couch top with geometric model. The experiment was that the transmission rate and attenuation rate of photon beam transmitting the couch top was predicted by the geometric model, then compared and analyzed with what was measured experimentally based on that. The result showed that the predicted value by the geometric model accorded closely with the experimental value. In addition, in order to judge whether the practical clinical application is available, the point dose, measured after modifying the attenuation rate modelinged according to the treatment plan of a patient of spine radiosurgery, was compared with the one done nothing. The result was that the former showed decreased error range with treatment planned one than the latter. This papers calculated the transmission and attenuation rate with the geometric model transmitting the couch top and verified it experimentally. This method is expected to be very useful in not only the radiosurgery using Novalis but also the general radiation therapy.

An analytical model was developed to estimate the viscous and squeeze-film damping ratios of heat exchanger tubes subjected to a two-phase cross-flow. Damping information is required to analyze the flow-induced vibration problem for heat exchange tubes. In heat exchange tubes, the most important energy dissipation mechanisms are related to the dynamic interaction between structures such as the tube and support and the liquid. The present model was formulated considering the added mass coefficient, based on an approximate model by Sim (1997). An approximate analytical method was developed to estimate the hydrodynamic forces acting on an oscillating inner cylinder with a concentric annulus. The forces, including the damping force, were calculated using two models developed for relatively high and low oscillatory Reynolds numbers, respectively. The equivalent diameters for the tube bundles and tube support, and the penetration depth, are important parameters to calculate the viscous damping force acting on tube bundles and the squeeze-film damping forces on the tube support, respectively. To calculate the void fraction of a two-phase flow, a homogeneous model was used. To verify the present model, the analytical results were compared to the results given by existing theories. It was found that the present model was applicable to estimate the viscous damping ratio and squeeze-film damping ratio.
