Wind turbine tower has a very important role in wind turbine system as one of the renewable energy that has been attracting attention worldwide recently. Due to the growth of wind power market, advance and development of offshore wind system and getting huger capacity is inevitable. As a result, the vibration is generated at wind turbine tower by receiving constantly dynamic loads such as wind load and wave load. Among these dynamic loads, the mechanical load caused by the rotation of the blade is able to make relatively periodic load to the wind turbine tower. So natural frequency of the wind turbine tower should be designed to avoid the rotation frequency of the rotor according to the design criteria to avoid resonance. Currently research of the wind turbine tower, the precise research does not be carried out because of simplifying the structure of the other upper and lower. In this study, the effect of blade modeling differences are to be analyzed in natural frequency of wind turbine tower.

The actuating performance test of plate-type piezoelectric composite actuators having different lay-up sequences was experimentally carried out at simply supported and fixed-free boundary conditions. The actuating displacement of manufactured plate-type piezoelectric composite actuator (PCA) was measured using a non-contact laser displacement measurement system. Our results revealed that the actuating displacement with increasing applied electric field at a drive frequency of 1Hz increased non-linearly at the simply supported boundary condition whereas it almost linearly increased at the fixed-free boundary condition. On the other hand, the actuating displacement of piezoelectric composite actuator depended on the applied electric field in a drive frequency range from 1Hz to 10Hz, but its behavior was different in higher drive frequencies beyond 15Hz due to the occurrence of resonance. On the basis of the above experimental results, the bending characteristics of PCAs revealed different behavior depending on applied electric fields, drive frequencies as well as boundary conditions. Therefore, by investigating drive frequencies together with applied electric fields, actuating performance can be easily controlled and PCAs which were fabricated for this study will be sufficiently applied to pumping devices.

Small amplitude in-phase oscillations of multi-cylinders are considered both numerically and experimentally. Flow field is separated into inner and outer regions. The basic unsteady solution is obtained analytically and the secondary flow, termed as steady streaming flow, can be obtained numerically by using Finite Volume Code with Panel Method. The Particle Induced Velocimetry, one of whole field measurements, is introduced for comparison with numerical flow visualization quantitatively. Among the algorithms for PIV, the Three Step Vector Searching Technique is applied to reduce CPU time. Small but non-zero damping coefficient, that is important in lightly damped system can be obtained with varying number of bodies and distances.

Recently, according to environmental regulations, the automobile industry has been conducting various research on the use of composite materials to increase fuel efficiency. However, there has not been much research on lightweight chassis components. Therefore, in this research, the purpose of this study is to apply composite materials to the sub-frame of chassis components to achieve equivalent levels of stiffness, strength, NVH performance and 50% lightweight compared to the steel sub-frame. First, the Natural frequency of steel and composite specimens was compared to the damping characteristics of composite materials. Then, in this study, the Lay-up Sequence was derived to maximize the stiffness and strength of the sub-frame by applying composite materials. And this lay-up Sequence is proposed to avoid heat shrinkage due to curing during manufacturing. This process was designed based on a FEM structural analysis, and a Natural frequency and frequency response function graph was confirmed based on a modal analysis. The prototype type composite sub-frame was manufactured based on the design and the F.E.M analysis was verified through a modal experiment. Furthermore, it was fitted to the actual vehicle to verify the natural frequency and the indoor noise vibration response, including idling and road noise. This result was confirmed to be equivalent to the steel sub-frame. Finally, the composite sub-frame weight was confirmed to be about 50% of the steel sub-frame.

Fatigue properties of composite materials are extremely important to design durable and reliable helicopter rotor blades. However, it is very difficult to apply conventional fatigue test loads in short period. Therefore, accelerating test speed and facilitating spectrum load realization are required. In this study, we have developed a fatigue testing method that uses a resonance of simply supported beam type blade specimen. This test consists in exciting the blade specimen with a frequency that corresponds to its natural frequency. In that case, the test specimen similar to a beam fixed between two pivot points starts vibrating and is significantly deformed. Resonant fatigue tests were performed by changing exciting vertical amplitude and frequency, and S-N curves of each composite materials were successfully obtained.

압전 세라믹 소자는 강유전성 세라믹에 높은 직류전압을 가한 후에 나타나는 압전효과를 이용하는 것으로 전압을 제거한 후에도 압전효과가 존재하는 것이 강유 전체의 특징이다. 압전효과를 나타내는 것은 천연으로 존재하는 수정이 있고, 인조품으로서는 BaTiO$_{3}$가 2차 대전후 W.P Mason에 의해 연구되어 압전재료로서 사용되었지만 BaTiO$_{3}$는 공진주파수의 온도안정성이 문제가 된다. 그후 B.Jaffe et al.은 P$_{b}$(Z$_{r}$, T$_{i}$)O$_{3}$등 몇가지 복합 Perovskite 산화물 중에서 P$_{b}$(Z$_{r}$, T$_{i}$)O$_{3}$의 $P^{2+}$$_{b}$ 이온을 다른 이온으로 치환하면 큐리 온도가 변하고 실온에서의 유전율도 크게 변화한다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 여기서 논하고저 하는 것은 압전소자의 제법과 성질 또 이의 특성을 좁은 범위 내에서 소개코저 한다.

탐침형 고밀도 정보저장장치의 구현에 필수적인 초정밀 구동기의 성능을 개선하기 위해 단순화된 모형을 설정하고 각 설계 변수들이 구동 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 이를 통해 원하는 사양의 구동기를 설계하고 실제 제작을 통해 그 모형의 타당성을 검증하였다. 전자기력을 이용한 구동기는 변위, 공진 주파수 등 여러 조건을 동시에 만족시켜야하나 전자기-기계가 복합적으로 결합된 시스템이므로 그 특성의 이해와 설계를 위해서는 보다 단순화된 모형의 도입이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 코일부를 단순화하고 자석으로부터 인가되는 평균자기장을 통해 구동 특성을 분석하였으며 이는 실제 제작 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

This paper proposes a double cantilever sandwich-beam method fur evaluating the frequency dependence of dynamic characteristics of rubbers. The flexural vibration of a double cantilever sandwich-beam specimen with an inserted rubber layer was studied using a finite element simulation in combination with the sine-sweep test. Quadratic relationships of dynamic elastic modulus and material loss factor of rubbers with frequency were suggested employing the least square error method.

Structures in current use are required of weight reduction and strength in many instances. This naturally necessitates frequent applications of composite materials in many areas. Elastic constants are one of key parameters in determining design guidelines for the specific applications of particular materials. In this research two vibratory techniques (acoustic resonance method and impulse technique)are utilized to evaluate elastic constants. Both techniques are suitable for the measurements of dynamic elastic constants. The Impulse technique provides a quick method for the measurement while the acoustic resonance method produces the values of elastic constants which agree better with theoretical values.
