It is impractical to install sensors on every floor of a tall building to measure the full state vector because of the large number of degrees of freedom. This makes it necessary to introduce reduced order control. A kind of system reduction scheme (dynamic condensation method) is proposed in this paper. This method is iterative and Guyan condensation is looked upon as an initial approximation of the iteration. Since the reduced order system is updated repeatedly until a desired one is obtained, the accuracy of the reduced order system resulting from the proposed method is much higher than that obtained from the Guyan condensation method. An eigenvalue shilling technique is applied to accelerate the convergence of Iteration. Two schemes to establish the reduced order system by using the proposed method are also presented and discussed in this paper. The results for a tail building with active tuned mass damper show that the proposed method is efficient for the reduced order modelling and the accuracy is very close to exact only after two iterations.

In this paper, a new active noise control method was proposed to decrease a weight of car, and to increase a fuel efficiency and to provide passengers' comfort and calmness, instead of a passive noise control method such as sound absorbing and insulating materials. The proposed method is an enhanced active noise controller operating by a bidirectional control algorithm. The algorithm is simple to implement and available to analyze mathematically with nearly equivalent complexity of computation. Through simulations for engine noises of a car, the proposed controller was verified that its performances of time and frequency domain were superior to those of both feedforward and feedback controllers, and it had better capability of controlling the noises when the impulsive disturbance was flow in and the response of secondary path was varied.

The mega frame system is becoming popular for the design and construction of skyscrapers because this system exhibits structural efficiency by allowing high rigidity of the structure while minimizing the amount of structural materials to be used. Since the mega frame system is usually adopted for super high-rise buildings, the comfort of occupants may be main concerns in the practical application of this system. For the enhancement of the serviceability of mega frame structures, a semi-active tuned mass damper (STMD) is developed in this study. To this end, a Magnetorheological (MR) damper is employed replacing passive damper as a semi-active damper to improve the control effect of a conventional TMD. Since a conventional finite element model of mega frame structures has significant numbers of DOFs, numerical simulation for investigation of control performances of a STMD is impossible by using the full-order model. Therefore, a reduced-order system using minimal DOFs, which can accurately represent the dynamic behavior of a mega frame structure, is proposed in this study through the matrix condensation technique To improve the efficiency of the matrix condensation technique, multi-level matrix condensation technique is proposed using the structural characteristics of mega frame structures. The efficiency and accuracy of the reduced-order control proposed in this study and the control performance of a STMD were verified using example structures.

자동차의 현가장치에 대한 능동제어연구는 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되어 왔다. 수동식현가장치는 단순히 스프링과 감쇠기로 차체의 진동을 수동 제어 하므로 성능 향상에 한계가 존재하게 된다. 수동식 현가장치가 강성계수와 감쇠계수를 조절함으로써 차체로 들어오는 진동을 억제하는 반면, 능동식제 어는 보통 유압을 이용하여 효율적으로 차체에 들어오는 진동을 억제시키게 된다. 일반적으로 자동차가 능동현가장치 설계시 요구되는 사항은 탑승자의 승차감, 조종성, 현가장치의 공간확보 문제, 경제성(제어력), 실제적으로 자동 차에 적용할 수 있는 능동제어기법인가 하는 문제이다. 자동차 능동식 현가 장치는 보통 1/4 car (2자유도계), Full-car 모델 (7자유도계) 등으로 모델링 을 하여 능동제어기를 설계한다. 1/4 car 모델의 특징은 해석이 비교적 단순 하고 현가장치의 동적거동을 이해하는데 유용하고 실험을 하거나 실제 자동 차에 적용하기 쉬운 반면에 Full-car 모델에 비해 제어력의 효율이 떨어진다 는 단점이 있다. 그 이유는 1/4 car 모델은 차체의 동역학적 특성을 고려하 여 설계하지 않았기 때문에 4개의 독립현가차축에서는 오직 그 현가축방향 으로 발생하는 수직방향의 진동만을 제어하기 때문이다. 따라서 동역학적 역 성에 기인하는 운동을 제어하는 비효율적인 제어력이 공급된다는 단점을 갖 는다. 이에 비해 full-car 모델은 주행모드(수직, 롤링, 피칭운동)간의 연성을 고려하여 제어기를 설계할 수 있기 때문에 1/4 car 모델에 비해 제어력의 효 율이 높다는 장점이 있는 반면에 모델이 수학적으로 복잡하므로 제어력을 구하는데 계산량이 많고, 실제 자동차에 적용하기에 복잡하다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 쉽게 실험할 수 있고, 실용화할 수 있는 1/4 car 모델에 대하여 능동제어기를 설계하여 실제자동차에 능동제어기를 적용할 때 참고가 될 수 있도록 하였다. 자동차는 저주파영역의 밴드통과필터 역할 을 하므로 저주파에서의 성능, 특히 탑승자가 민감하게 느끼는 0.5Hz - 10Hz 부근의 주파수성능은 승차감, 조종성에 상당히 중요하다. 이에 본 논문 에서는 0.5Hz - 10Hz 부근의 승차감, 조종성의 향상에 초점을 두고 차체의 속도를 출력변수로 한 LQG/LTR 제어기를 설계하였다. LQG/LTR 설계기법 은 안정도-강인성이 좋은 체계적인 설계기법으로서 전 상태를 측정할 필요 가 없으므로 실제 적용시 효과적이다. 또한 자동차의 제원의 변화에 대한 고 유치의 민감도해석과 새로운 개념으로 안정도-강인성(Robustness)해석을 하 여 수동시스템과 능동시스템의 강인성을 비교하였다.

In recently, the vibration control of adjacent buildings have been studied and magneto-rheological(MR) fluid dampers have been applied to seismic response control. MR dampers can be controlled with small power supplies and the dynamic range of this damping force is quite large. This MR damper is one of semi-active dampers as a new class of smart dampers. In this study, vibration control effect according to the installation location of the MR damper connected adjacent buildings has been investigated. Adjacent building structures with different natural frequencies were used as example structures. Groundhook control model is applied to determinate control force of MR damper. In this numerical analysis, it has been shown that displacement responses can be effectively controlled as adjacent buildings are connected at roof floors by MR damper. And acceleration responses can be effectively reduced when two buildings are connected at the mid-stories of adjacent buildings by MR damper. Therefore, the installation floor of the MR damper should be selected with seismic response control target.

Magnetorheological(MR) 댐퍼는 적은 용량의 전력을 사용하고 반응속도가 빠른 장점 때문에 구조물의 내진제어에 적당하여, 근래에 주목받고 있는 새로운 장치이다. MR 댐퍼는 반능동 제어 장치로써, 능동 질량감쇠기와는 다른 특성을 갖는다. 즉 필요한 제어력을 제어신호로 직접 생성해 낼 수 없는 대신에 MR 댐퍼의 입력전원을 제어하여 간접적으로 제어한다. 따라서 MR 댐퍼의 반능동 제어장치로써의 특성을 고려하는 효과적인 제어기법이 요구된다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 지진에 대한 구조물의 응답을 줄이기 위해서, MR댐퍼를 제어할 수 있는 반능동 제어기법을 Lyapunov 안정성 이론을 바탕으로 제안하고자 한다. 제안방법을 검증하기 위해, 전단형 MR 댐퍼를 1층과 2층에 설치한 수치예제를 수행하였다.

This paper presents LRB-based hybrid base isolation systems employing additional active/semiactive control devices for mitigating earthquake-induced vibration of a cable-stayed 29 bridge. Hybrid base isolation systems could improve the control performance compared with the passive type-base isolation system such as LRB-installed bridge system due to multiple control devices are operating. In this paper, the additional response reduction by the two typical additional control devices, such as active type hydraulic actuators controlled by LQG algorithm and semiactive-type magnetorheological dampers controlled by clipped-optimal algorithm, have been evaluated bypreliminarily investigating the slightly modified version of the ASCE phase I benchmark cable-stayed bridge problem (i.e., the installation of LRBs to the nominal cable-stayed bridge model of the problem). It shows from the numerical simulation results that all the LRB based hybrid seismic isolation systems considered are quite effective to mitigate the structural responses. In addition, the numerical results demonstrate that the LRB based hybrid seismic isolation systems employing MR dampers have the robustness to some degree of the stiffness uncertainty of in the structure, whereas the hybrid system employing hydraulic actuators does not. Therefore, the feasibility of the hybrid base isolation systems employing semiactive additional control devices could be more appropriate in realfor full-scale civil infrastructure applications is clearly verified due to their efficacy and robustness.

Active noise control(ANC) is an approach to noise reduction in which a secondary noise source destructively interferes with the unwanted noise is introduced. Generally, the performance of ANC is determined how well a secondary noise tracks noises. A secondary noise is generated from the cancelling speaker and a error sensor pick up error signal. The transfer function between the cancelling speaker and the error sensor is not flat and distorts secondary noises. Consequently, the performance of ANC is degraded by the transfer function. In this paper, a single sensor ANC which considers the characteristics of the speaker and the error sensor is proposed. To reduce distortion of secondary noises, the transfer function is estimated by adaptive inverse modelling and the primary noises are estimated by Kalman filter. Experimental results show that the proposed single sensor ANC effectively attenuates noises.

Existing studies have suggested Universal Curve only for supplemental damping by damper. Therefore net damping has been determined by means of arithmetic summation between intrinsic, aero-damping of cable and supplemental damping of damper. However linear combination approach by means of the arithmetic summation is not enough theoretical background. So validity of this approach should be verified in order to design adequate cable-damper system by engineers. This study establishes governing differential equation which can consider intrinsic, aero-damping and supplemental damping as well. And also analysis method is solved by combination of muller method and successive iteration method. Consequently, this study succeeds in verification for validity of linear combination approach. As a result of this study, linear combination approach is limitedly effective in case of low stiffness and optimum damping coefficient of damper, short distance from support to damper, lower vibration mode, low aero-damping, and normal windy environment. Whereas this study will be effective in case of opposite conditions, and existing studies or linear combination approach occur to further error. Meaning of this study presents exact solution for net damping of cable-damper system, and verifies linear combination approach by means of the analysis method. In the future, if monitoring of optimum damping coefficient of a damper against aero-damping is feasible on time, algorithm of this study will be available for control of cable and semi-active damper system such as magneto-rheological damper.
