Sensitivity analysis is used to determine the effect of a change in a design parameter on the total system, and the calculated sensitivity is an important indicator of the improvement of a structure. In this study, we investigated the method of deriving and analyzing the sensitivity of design parameters by using finite element analysis and the method of improving a structure by using sensitivity analysis results. Design parameters for weight reduction design were selected using actual semiconductor inspection equipment that requires structural improvement, and the sensitivity to design parameters was calculated by using and finite difference method. We propose an improvement method that can reduce the weight while maintaining the transient response required by the equipment. By using the results of the sensitivity analysis through finite element analysis and finite difference method, we can create a structurally improved design that satisfies the desired stress or displacement by improving the design of the structure. Therefore, sensitivity analysis is applicable to various fields as well as semiconductor inspection equipment.

일반적으로 기계계 또는 기계요소가 외력을 받아 진동할 때 공진이 문제시 되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 계의 공진 제어에는 주로 댐핑재료(damping material)의 사용이 일반화 되어왔다. 그러나 댐핑재료를 사용한 제어에 있어 서는 계의 특성이나 규모등에 따라 많은 제한요소가 따르는데 특히 구조물 의 규모가 커지거나 복잡해지면, 제어 위치선정에도 어려움이 따르며 그 효 과도 기대하기 어렵다. 다른 방법으로는 기계계의 동적 특성치에 변화를 주 는 것이나, 이를 허용하지 않는 계가 많다. 따라서 이러한 단점들을 보완하 기 위해서 고안된 것이 동흡진기(dynamic absorber)이다. 기존의 선형 동흡 진기[1]는 주공진 부근영역에서 가진되는 계에만 적용이 가능하기 때문에, 흡진기와 기계계의 크기비(ratio)의 결정이 제한적이다. 이런 제한을 극복하 여 비교적 넓은 범위의 가진 주파수에 대해서 최대의 응답을 최소화하기 위 해서는 비선형 동흡진기[5]의 해석이 요구되고 있다. 제어대상의 최적응답을 얻기 위해 흡진기의 크기를 변화시키는 과정을 tuning이라 하는데, 이 과정 을 통해 최적의 감쇠값을 결정할 수 있다. 비선형 흡진기의 장점은 tuning 과정시 비선형 파라미터 변화에 의해 제어가 가능한 영역을 확장할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동흡진기의 tuning 과정시 흡진기의 크기비와 비선형 파라미터비에 따른 효과를 정규모우드를 활용하여 고찰한 후, 최적의 응답을 통해 비선형 동흡진기의 동적 거동을 연구하였다.

The loss of coolant flow accident is analyzed for the pressurized water reactor of Korea Nuclear Unit-1. The loss of coolant flow accident is classified into three types in accordance with its severity; partial loss of coolant flow, complete loss of coolant flow and pump locked rotor accident. Analysis has been carried out in three stages; system transient and average core analysis, DNBR calculation and hot spot analysis. The purpose of developing KTRAN is to simulate the transient fast. For the DNBR calculation, the thermal hydraulic codes, SCAN and COBRA IV-1, are adopted. And for the hot spot analysis, the fuel thermal transient code LTRAN is employed. This code system should be fast responding to the transient analysis. In case the transient occurs, severity comes within a couple of seconds. So response should be fast to accomodate the following sequence of the accident. Unfortunately this purpose could not be achieved by KTRAN. However, the calculated results are well comparable with FSAR results in range. Thereby, the effectiveness of KTRAN code analysis in this type of accident is proven.

With the recent occurrence of large-scale earthquakes in Korea, the importance of seismic design has greatly increased. Seismic design standards stipulate that dynamic time history analysis be performed for important or special structures. In the seismic analysis and design of such structures, determining a rational design input seismic wave is a very important factor in ensuring the reliability of the analysis and design. In the seismic design standards, rational design seismic waves must reflect the characteristics of the area (fault) and satisfy the design response spectrum for each seismic performance level. This requirement can be partially satisfied by modifying the actual seismic wave measured in the area (fault) according to the design response spectrum. In this study, a method of correcting and generating seismic wave time histories according to the design response spectrum based on actual measured seismic waves using the harmonic wavelet transform was proposed. To examine the applicability of the proposed technique, the technique was applied to earthquakes of magnitude 5.8 and 5.4, respectively, that occurred in Gyeongju (2016) and Pohang (2017), and the seismic wave time histories corresponding to the design response spectrum were modified and generated.

In this study, numerical analyses were used to investigate the performance of a coupling control method for the dynamic responses of adjacent buildings under multiple hazards. Numerical simulations were done using the earthquake loads of regions with strong seismicity in Los Angeles, California, and the wind loads in regions with strong winds in Charleston, North Carolina. The artificial earthquake and wind loads were made using SIMQKE and Kaimal Spectrum based on ASCE 7-10. Ten-story and twenty-story adjacent buildings were selected as example structures, and nonlinear hysteretic dampers were used to connect them. The Bouc-Wen model was used to model the nonlinear hysteretic dampers. The results show that the proposed control method could effectively reduce the dynamic responses, and the optimal control designs were different for each hazard.

The objective of this study is to propose curve fitted equations that can facilitate calculations and improve a practical applicability when the seismic performance of buried pipelines needs to be evaluated. The curve fitted equations are derived based on the evaluation of the dynamic responses of concrete pipe with a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. To study the dynamic response of underground pipe, the numerical analysis program developed in the previous research has been used. The location of maximum strain has been determined through dynamic analyses for a boundary condition of fixed-free ends. Then $wavelength{\lambda}$ of 5-1000(m) and propagation velocity(Vs) of 100-2000(m/s) have been applied at the location of maximum strain and the unit srain curve with the changes of the $wavelength{\lambda}$ and propagation velocity(Vs) has been obtaind. Non-linear least-square regression has been used to develop highly applicable curve fitted equations and various types of exponential regression equations have been checked out. Thus curve fitted equations and necessary coefficients with best results are suggested.

In this study, the control performance of a smart top-story isolation system for tall buildings subjected to wind excitation was investigated. To this end, a 77-story tall building structure was employed and wind loads obtained from wind tunnel test were used for numerical simulations. The top-story of an example structure is separated from the main structure by a smart base isolation system composed of friction pendulum systems (FPS) and MR dampers. The primary purpose of the smart top-story isolation system is to mitigate the dynamic responses of the main structure, but the excessive movement of the isolated top story may cause the unstableness of the building structure. Therefore, the skyhook control algorithm was used to effectively reduce both responses of the isolated top story and the main structure. The control performance of the proposed smart top-story isolation system was investigated in comparison with that of the passive top-story isolation system. It has been shown from numerical simulation results that the smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce wind-induced responses of the example building structure compared to the passive top-story isolation system with reduction of the top-story movement.

In this paper, a problem of mechanical resonance between traction motor's rigid body mode and traction motor's excitation force is introduced, and a bogie design variable affecting the control of resonance response is reviewed numerically. To solve the resonance problem in rotating machinery with variable rotational speeds, resonance frequency should be out of rotational machine's operation range or dynamic stiffness of structures should be increased for resonance response enough to be low. In general, operation range of a traction motor is from 0 r/min to 4800 r/min. It is not possible that all bogie modes are more than 80 Hz. Therefore, it is very important to find design factor affecting resonance response of traction motor's rigid body modes. It is found that key design variable is the gab between transom pipes from finite element analysis. The larger gab is, the higher resonance response when resonance between traction motor's excitation force and traction motor's rigid body mode is happened.
