A new design method of lossy matching network for the microwave broadband ampilfier is presented by using seattering parameters instead od modeling of transistor. A lossy matching network is represented as the combination of 2 lossless networks between which lossy serial or parallel immittance is inserted without using specific topology, and so many useful matching cireuits can be realized. Also it is shown that linear transforming relation exists between gain and reflection coefficient of the amplifier, and the transforming equation is derived using scattering parameters. With this equation some constant gain circles can be drawn on reflection coefficient plane to get adequate reflection coefficient and gain. And since the relations between amplifier gain/reflection coefficient and the immittance of passive element are bilinear transformations. constant gain or reflection coefficients circles. Illustrative examples are presented to show the usefulness of proposed method.

Recently, Korean government has tried out to set up earthquake hazards prevention system. In the system, several geotechnical hazard maps including liquefaction hazard map and landslide hazard map for the whole country have drawn to consider the domestic seismic characteristics. To draw the macro liquefaction hazard map, big data of site investigations in metropolitan areas and provincial areas has to be verified for its application. In this research, we carried out site response analyses using 522 borehole site investigation data in S city during a desirable earthquake. The soil classification was separately compared to shear wave velocity considering the uncertainty of site investigation data. Probability distribution and statistical analysis for the results of site response analyses was applied to the feasibility study. Finally, we suggest a new site amplification coefficient, hereby presented with the similar results of liquefaction hazard mapping using the calculated liquefaction potential index by the site response analyses. Above-mentioned study will be expected to help to follow research and draw liquefaction hazard map in moderate seismic region.

Eco-friendly and renewable energy sources are actively being researched in recent times, and of shore wind power generation requires advanced design technologies in terms of increasing the capacities of wind turbines and enlarging wind turbine installation vessels (WTIVs). The WTIV ensures that the hull is situated at a height that is not affected by waves. The most important part of the WTIV is the leg structure, which must respond dynamically according to the wave, current, and wind loads. In particular, the wave load is composed of irregular waves, and it is important to know the exact dynamic response. The dynamic response analysis uses a single degree of freedom (SDOF) method, which is a simplified approach, but it is limited owing to the consideration of random waves. Therefore, in industrial practice, the time-domain analysis of random waves is based on the multi degree of freedom (MDOF) method. Although the MDOF method provides high-precision results, its data convergence is sensitive and difficult to apply owing to design complexity. Therefore, a dynamic amplification factor (DAF) estimation formula is developed in this study to express the dynamic response characteristics of random waves through time-domain analysis based on different variables. It is confirmed that the calculation time can be shortened and accuracy enhanced compared to existing MDOF methods. The developed formula will be used in the initial design of WTIVs and similar structures.

In this paper, the performance of a toggle brace-MR damper system is evaluated for the control of the structure excited by earthquake load and the non-linearity of the toggle system is investigated. Considering that the control force of MR damper described by Bingham model is a function of velocity, velocity amplification factor by the toggle brace system is calculated and the effect of toggle configuration on the amplification factor is also evaluated. Numerical results show that the control performance can be largely enhanced using toggle brace system especially for the case that the MR damper installed with conventional brace system such as Chevron and diagonal cannot provide enough control force under severe earthquake load.

1-DOF shear building was designed, built and tested to investigate the interactions between the shear building and the shaking table excited harmonically by the electro-magnetic forces. In the experiments horizontal accelerations of the shaking table and the shear building were measured. To understand the experimental results experimental setting was modeled as an unconstrained 2-DOF system under the hormonic forces. The responses of the shear building and the shaking table of the unconstrained 2-DOF system were found with the equations of motions. The magnification factors of the table and the shear building with respect to the amplitude of the harmonic forces and the transmission of the shear building with respect to the table excitations were found and compared with the experimental results.

This paper deals with the operating-speed (high-speed) balancing of a refinery gasoline HDS (hydrodesulfurization) process recycle-gas 8-stages compressor rotor. A low-speed balancing condition of the rotor was measured as maintaining the G2.5 level. But an inspection run of operating-speed balancing condition, using tilting-pad journal bearings of actual use, showed that while it could be continuously-operated safely at a rated speed of 10,500 rpm, the rotor would not be able to run over 11,000 rpm as the vibration increased very sharply, approaching 11,000 rpm. In order to cure that a series of operating-speed balancing, which first calculated balance correction-weights by applying the influence coefficient measured and calculated at 10,500 rpm and then implemented correction works, was carried-out. The final operating-speed balancing results showed that the vibrations at the bearing pedestals represented very good levels of 0.2 mm/s by decreasing to as much as the 1/10 of the original vibrations and particularly, even at a targeted maximum continuous operating speed, MCS, of 11,500 rpm the vibrations represented about 1 mm/s, which is the operating-speed balancing vibration specification of API. Therefore, the expansion of MCS was successfully accomplished through the operating-speed balancing.

In this study the modal characteristics and responses of an asymmetric structure with added viscoelastic dampers were investigated for design parameters such as eccentricity of stiffness and added dampers, the loss factor of the damping materials used.

Over the last 10 years, significant changes have taken place in the world of container shipping. The size and the speed of the quay-side crane have been increased considerably. As a result, the stiffness of a crane is decreased and the sway oscillation of cargo may become violent. The purpose of this paper is to determine the design force caused by the sway oscillation of the cargo, lifted by four ropes, with an initial fleet angle, and the governing equations of the lifting system for an anti-sway control system design.

Despite the site classification method was improved in the previous study, the response spectrum would be required to be modified by adjusting the integration interval to calculate the site coefficients because the response spectra did not match well the average spectral accelerations obtained by site response analyses in the range of long periods. In this paper, new response spectra for each site categories were determined by adjusting the integration interval of long-period site coefficient $F_{v}$ from $0.4{\sim}2.0$ to $0.4{\sim}1.5$ second. It matched well the average spectral accelerations and new response spectrum, and it was also improved compared to the current site classification system.
