In this study, the possibility of seismic response control of semi-active tuned mass damper (TMD) for spatial structures has been investigated. To this end, an arch structure was used as an example structure because it has primary characteristics of spatial structures and it is a comparatively simple structure. A TMD and semi-active TMD were applied to the example arch structure and the seismic control performance of them were evaluated based on the numerical simulation. In order to regulate the damping force of the semi-active TMD, groundhook control algorithm, which is widely used for semi-active control, was used. El Centro (1940) and Northridge (1994) earthquakes and harmonic ground motion were used for performance evaluation of passive TMD and semi-active TMD. Based on the analytical results, the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of the arch structure and it has been shown that the semi-active TMD more effectively decreased the dynamic responses of the arch structure compared to the passive TMD with respect to all the excitations used in this study.

In this study, the efficacy of the newly developed smart passive control system to improve seismic performance of base isolated building structures is numerically verified. The smart passive control system consists of a magnetorheological (MR) damper and an electromagnetic induction (EMI) part. The damping characteristics of an MR damper can be controlled by the current generated in an EMI part according to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. An EMI part consisting of a permanent magnet and a solenoid coil could substitute a control system including sensors, a controller and an external power supply in a conventional smart control system. The benchmark control problem for a base isolated building presented by the american society of civil engineers is considered for numerical simulation. The control performance of the smart passive control system is compared to that of the conventional smart control system using MR dampers. It is demonstrated from the numerical simulation results that the smart passive control system is useful to improve the seismic performance of base isolated buildings.

본 논문에서는 3자유도를 갖는 2차원 강체날개의 플러터 속도를 향상시키는 축차 제어기를 설계하는 기법을 연구하였다. 먼저 2차원 강체날개의 운동방정식을 유도하고 플러터 해석을 수행하였다. 다음 수동계의 플러터 속도를 향상시키는 능동제어기를 설계한 후 제어기의 차수를 축차하는 기법을 적용하여 저차의 능동제어기를 구성하였다. 제어기 축차기법으로는 BACR을 사용하였으며 전차 제어기의 상태변수를 약 80%정도 줄일 수 있다. 축차된 제어기를 사용한 능동시스템과 전차 제어기를 사용한 능동시스템의 제어효과의 차이는 무시 할 수 있을 정도로 매우 작다. 따라서, BACR을 사용하여 얻은 축차된 제어기를 사용하면 상당한 계산량 감소효과와 실시간 단축효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 동일한 돌풍입력에 대한 각각의 능동 시스템의 시간응답도 매우 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 전차 제어기를 사용한 능동시스템의 돌풍응답과 축차된 제어기를 사용한 능동시스템의 돌풍 응답 사이의 차이도 매우 작게 나타났다. 그러므로, 항공기 날개의 능동 플러터억제에는 BACR을 이용하여 설계한 축차된 제어기가 플러터 능동제어에 매우 유용하다고 할 수 있다. 그러나 BACR을 사용하기 위해서는 요구되는 정확도와 계산량에 대한 상호 절충과정이 반드시 필요하다.

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.

대형 구조물의 진동제어를 위하여 MR 유체 댐퍼를 사용한 반능동 제어기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 수동제어기법은 일단 제어장치를 설치한 후에는 구조물에 실제로 작용하고 있는 외부 하중의 현재 특성에 대해서 적절히 반응할 수 없다는 제한을 가지고 있으며, 이를 극복하기 위하여 연구되어온 능동제어기법은 구조물이 진동을 감소시키기 위하여 구조물에 직접적으로 가해지는 커다란 제어력을 요구하며, 이로 인해 경우에 따라서는 불안정한 상태가 유발될 수도 있다는 점이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 최근에 Spencer 등은 반능동 제어기법을 제안하였는데, 이는 수동제어장치의 제어특성을 On-Line 으로 조절하는 방식으로서 제어 가능한 수동제어기법으로도 불리운다. 구조물의 진동제어에 필요한 제어력이, 특수한 제어기구에서 발생되는 인위적인 힘이 아니라, 적절한 구조부재에서 발생되는 자연적인 부재력이므로, 무엇보다 강인하고 신뢰할 수 있는 제어기법이며, 이때 제어장치의 구조적 특성을, 측정된 구조물의 응답에 맞추어 적절히 조절함으로써 다양한 외부하중에 대해 보다 효율적인 제어가 이루어질 수 있도록 한 방법이다. 반능동제어를 위한 제어기로서는 Variable Orifice Dampers, Friction Controllable Isolators, Variable Stiffness Devices, Electro-Rheological (ER) Fluid Damper, Magneto-Rheological(MR) Fluid Damper등이 제안되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 반응속도가 빠르고, 적은 파워만을 요구하며, 커다란 제어력을 낼 수 있는 MR Damper를 사용하여 지진하중을 받는 구조물의 반능동 제어게 대하여 연구하였다. MR Damper의 특성이 비선형이므로 이에 적합한 Sliding Mode Fuzzy Control(SMFC)기법을 사용하였으며 이때 SMFC 의 최적 설계를 위하여 Genetic Algorithm을 적용하였다. 제안된 제어기법의 실제 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 기존이 제어결과와 비교 검토하였으며, 그 결과로부터 MR Damper를 사용한 반능동 제어기법이 구조물의 진동제어에 매우 효과적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper analyzes the performance of an optical line termination system in ATM based Passive Optical Network(PON) using the operational analysis. We analyze it using system parameters such as utilization, throughput and routing frequency based on the buffer structure in each block of ATM-PON. Furthermore, we derive the mean response time and the visit ratio of each block, and then search the bottleneck block that hinders the system performance. We found that the 622Mbps 16x16 switching block is the bottleneck block for ATM-PON. In this bottleneck block, the loss probability increases rapidly when the cell arrival rate increases.

In this study, tile performance of a passive tuned mass damper (TMD) and a semi-active tuned mass damper (STMD) was evaluated in terms of seismic response control of elastic and inelastic structures under seismic loads. First, elastic displacement spectra were obtained for the damped structures with a passive TMD, which was optimally designed using the frequency and damping ratio presented by previous study, and with a STMD proposed in this study. The displacement spectra confirm that STMD provides much better control performance than passive md with less stroke. Also, the robustness or the TMD was evaluated by off-tuning the frequency of the TMD to that of the structure. Finally, numerical analyses were conducted for an inelastic structure of which hysteresis was described by Bouc-Wen model and the results indicated that the performance of the passive TMD of which design parameters were optimized for a elastic structure considerably deteriorated when the hysteretic portion or the structural responses increased, while the STMD showed about 15-40% more response reduction than the TMD.

Vibration control devices are classified into passive, semi-active and active device. TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is one of the passive control device that is mainly used to reduce vibration level of building structure and bridge structure. In this study, the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of dome structures has been investigated. Because star dome structure has primary characteristics of dome structures, star dome structure was used as an example dome structure that is subjected to horizontal or vertical seismic loads. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that seismic response are influenced by vibration modes and it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure.

Since all the poles of the open circuit voltage transfer function of the trigonometric, linear, passive RC circuits exist on the negative real axis of s-plane, its transient response to the unit step input is monotonic. This satisfies the necessary conditions for the applicability of Elmore's method which had been developed originally for the transient analysis of lumped circuit in computing the rise time and delay time of the trigonometric distributed RC circuits. This paper describes the computing method of rise and delay times of the trigonometric distributed RC circuit. The analysis shows that the transient response of this kind circuit depends only upon the time constant and distance angle $\theta$. As $\theta$ is increased, the rise and delay titles are increased non-linearly.
