본 논문에서는 지진 발생시, LRB가 설치된 교량의 시간이력 해석을 수행하였다 이를 위해 LRB의 비선형 거동특성을 Bi-linear로 모형화 하였으며, 기존의 방법인 등가선형으로 모형화된 해석결과와 비교하였다. 또한 LRB받침만 설치된 경우와, LRB받침과 일반탄성받침이 함께 사용된 경우를 해석하여, 받침이 혼합된 경우, 상시하중과 지진하중시 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 검토하였다. 4경간 연속교량에 적용된 해석결과를 보면, LRB만을 설치한 경우, Pot-Bearing만 설치된 경우에 .비해, 고유주기 상승과 이력감쇠에 의한 지진력의 감소와 함께, 지진력의 효과적인 분배를 볼 수 있었으며, 일반탄성받침과의 적절한 조합에 의해서도, 충분한 면진성능을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 LRB의 등가선형 모델이 Bi-linear 모델에 비해 보수적인 해석결과를 나타내었다.

The purpose of this study is to verify the transfer function of input acceleration and output control force by linearizing a velocity-dependent damping term of Liquid Column Vibration Absorber (LCVA). Analytical and experimental research is conducted to identify natural frequency, damping ratio and participated mass ratio of LCVA with various section ratios of vertical and horizontal areas. Findings obtained experimentally by the shaking table test are compared with analytical findings using optimization technique with constraints. The results indicate that the level of liquid and section ratio of LCVA affect the characteristics of damping ratio and mass ratio. Damping and mass ratio increase as the section of vertical column of LCVA decreases, due to turbulence in the elbow of LCVA.

In this paper, two methods to suppress flutter of the composite panel are examined. First, in the active control method, a controller based on the linear optimal control theory is designed and control input voltage is applied on the actuators and a PZT is used as actuator. Second, a new technique, passive suppression scheme, is suggested for suppression of the nonlinear panel flutter. In the passive suppression scheme, a shunt circuit which consists of inductor-resistor is used to increase damping of the system and as a result the flutter can be attenuated. A passive damping technology, which is believed to be more robust suppression system in practical operation, requires very little or no electrical power and additional apparatuses such as sensor system and controller are not needed. To achieve the great actuating force/damping effect, the optimal shape and location of the actuators are determined by using genetic algorithms. The governing equations are derived by using extended Hamilton's principle. They are based on the nonlinear von Karman strain-displacement relationship for the panel structure and quasi-steady first-order piston theory for the supersonic airflow. The discretized finite element equations are obtained by using 4-node conforming plate element. A modal reduction is performed to the finite element equations in order to suppress the panel flutter effectively and nonlinear-coupled modal equations are obtained. Numerical suppression results, which are based on the reduced nonlinear modal equations, are presented in time domain by using Newmark nonlinear time integration method.

In this paper the progressive collapse resisting capacity of steel moment frames with viscous dampers was evaluated by nonlinear dynamic analysis. The effects of dampers installed in steel beam-column sub-assemblages with varying natural period and yield strength were evaluated after sudden removal of a column. According to the parametric study the vertical displacement general decreased as the damping ratio of the system increased, and the dampers were effective both in elastic and elasto-plastic systems. The nonlinear dynamic analysis results of the 15-story analysis models showed that the decrease in vertical deflection of the structure with 9m span length, which showed larger deflection, was more predominant than that of the structure with 6m span length.

A nonlinear time-domain system identification algorithm using measured acceleration data is developed for structural damage assessment. To take account of nonlinear behavior of structural systems, an output error between measured and computed acceleration increments has been defined and a constrained nonlinear optimization problem is solved for optimal structural parameters. The algorithm estimates time-varying properties of stiffness and damping parameters. Nonlinear response of restoring force of a structural system is recovered by using the estimated time-varying structural properties and computed displacement by Newmark-$\beta$ method. In the recovery, no pre-defined model for inelastic behavior has been assumed. In developing the algorithm, noise and incomplete measurement in space and state have been considered. To examine the developed algorithm, numerical simulation and laboratory experimental studies on a three-story shear building have been carried out.

The objective of this study is to propose closed-form solutions to the free vibration response of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems, as part of fundamental research on dynamic systems with Coulomb friction. The motion of a dynamic system with Coulomb friction is described by a nonlinear differential equation, and, due to the variation in the sign of friction force term with the direction of motion, it is difficult to obtain the closed-form solution. To solve this problem, the nonlinear differential equation is directly computed by numerical integration, or an approximated solution is indirectly obtained using a linear differential equation wherein the damping effect due to Coulomb friction is replaced by an equivalent viscous damping term. However, these conventional methods do not provide a closed-form solution from a mathematical point of view. In this regard, closed-form solutions to the free vibration response of SDOF systems with Coulomb friction are derived herein by considering that the sign of the friction force term is reversed in each half-cycle of motion and by expanding it to the entire time history using the power series function. In addition, for a given initial condition, both the number of free vibration half-cycles and the response at the instant when free vibration motion stops are predicted under the condition that the motion of free vibration is stopped when the amplitude of the friction force is higher than that of the restoring force due to stiffness.

In the study, the effects of damping devices on damping ratio increase and wind-load reduction were investigated based on the computational platform, which is one of the parametric modeling methods. The computational platform helps the designers or engineers to evaluate the efficacy of the numerous alternative structural systems for irregular Super-Tall building, which is crucial in determining the capacity and the number of the supplemental damping devices for adding the required damping ratios to the building. The inherent damping ratio was estimated based on the related domestic and foreign researches conducted by using real wind-load records. Two types of damping devices were considered: One is inter-story installation type passive control devices and the other is mass type active control devices. The supplemental damping ratio due to the damping devices was calculated by means of equivalent static analysis using an equation suggested by FEMA. The optimal design of the damping devices was conducted by using the computational platform. The structural element quantity reduction effect resulting from the installation of the damping devices could be simply assessed by proposing a wind-load reduction factor, and the effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by a numerical example of a 455m high-rise building. The comparison between roof displacement and the story shear forces by the nonlinear time history analysis and the proposed method indicated that the proposed method could simply but approximately estimate the effects of the supplemental damping devices on the roof displacement and the member force reduction.

In this study, seismic control performance of friction dampers installed in a reinforced concrete shear wall-moment frame system, of which main lateral force resisting system is a shear wall, is investigated. Three configurations of friction dampers are investigated. One is a diagonal brace type reinforcing the shear wall directly, another is a diagonal brace type reinforcing the moment frame without the shear wall, and the other one is a vertical boundary element type installed at both ends of the shear wall. In addition, various levels of the total friction force and its distribution methods are examined. Time history analysis considering material nonlinearity is conducted for seismic loads increased by the enhanced design code compared to the initial design loads, and energy dissipation, lateral loads and structural member damages are analyzed. As a result, the shear wall-reinforcing diagonal brace type with the total friction force of 30 % of the reference friction force gives the best performance on the whole, and the distribution methods of the friction force do not have remarkable difference in effects. Also, concentrated installation in adjacent four stories shows just a little compromised control performance compared to the entire story installation.

In this study, a semi-active isolator was constructed from applying a MR damper that used the MR fluid to an isolator. The parameter identification was also performed to determine the characteristics of this semi-active isolator during which the least squares method and the auxiliary variable method were applied to produce a value closest to the true value. In addition, the MR damper's nonlinear damping force was closely analyzed to greatly reduce the range of error. Based on this analysis, it was discovered that the parameter tended to increase with more electric current. Such analysis of the dynamic properties of semi-active isolator proved that constructing an isolator that provides a more stable operation could be achieved.

자동차는 주행시에 노면가진으로 인하여 진동을 받게 되는 데 이러한 진동 은 운전자의 승차감을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 화물과 차량 부품을 파손시키 는 원인이 되기도 한다. 노면가진력은 주로 현가장치를 통하여 차량에 전달 되어 차량의 진동을 유발하게 되므로 승차감을 향상시키려면 노면가진을 효 과적으로 차단할 수 있도록 현가장치를 설계하여야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 논 문에서는 차량을 현가장치의 형식에 따라 3가지 종류로 구분한 다음 각각을 12자유도로 모델링하여 노면이 불규칙(random)한 도로를 주행할 때의 승용 차의 진동을 해석하고, 현가스프링의 강성과 쇼크 압소바의 감쇠 값이 자체 수직 가속도 유효치(rms value)와 현가장치 유효행정(rms stroke length)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 차량의 운동방정식은 현가장치의 비선형 특성을 고려하였기 때문에 미소 각 운동의 가정에도 불구하고 비선형 방정식이 된 다. 운동 방정식의 해는 4차 Runge-Kutta 적분법을 사용하여 수치해석으로 구하였다.
