A seismic structure is an earthquake-resistant design that dissipates seismic energy by equipping the structure with a device called a damper. As research efforts to reduce earthquake damage continue to rise, technology for isolating vibrations in structures has evolved by altering the materials and shapes of dampers. However, due to the inherent nature of the damper, there are an unescapable restrictions on the extent of plastic deformation that occurs in the material to effectively dissipate energy. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a long-life damper that offers semi-permanently usage and enhances structural performance by applying additional tension which is achieved by utilizing super elastic shape memory alloy (SSMA), a material that self-recovers after deformation. To comprehensively understand the behavior of long-life dampers, finite element analysis was performed considering the design variables such as material, wire diameter, and presence of tension, and response behavior was derived to analyze characteristics such as load resistance, energy dissipation, and residual displacement to determine the performance of long-life dampers in seismic structure. Excellence has been proven from finite element analysis results.

As an alternative of the existing honeycomb shock absorbing device, the new approach on shock absorbing design using the extrusion of hyper-viscoelastic material such as silicon rubber is studied in this paper. The strain energy and stress-strain characteristic of viscoelastic material at extrusion process through the metered orifice has a similarity with the honeycomb core for maximizing shock absorbing capability. And in order to evaluate the design feasibility of this device and to understand the shock absorbing mechanism of energy transformation, finite element analysis and quasi-static compression test of the multi-stage extrusion shock absorber are examined in this paper.

This paper presents the vibration damping characteristic of a single lap joint beam with partial dampers analyzed using the model strain energy method and the harmonic response analysis which were based on a finite element model. The two finite element analysis methods exhibited very similar results of the resonant frequency and system loss factor which were comparable to those by the theoretical analysis. Effects of the location of partial dampers and elastic moduli and thickness of their layers on the system loss factor were studied. The damping effects due to changes of modules and loss factor of the viscoelastic layer in lap joint and partial dampers were also studied. Consequently, the geometrical and material conditions at maximizing the system loss factor were suggested.

The fracture behaviors of aluminum foils and sheet papers were analyzed on the basis of linear elastic fracture mechanics(LEFM). The fracture loads of the similarly shaped specimens were calculated by dimensional analysis. The actual fracture loads were measured using the simple tension equipment. The predicted fracture loads were compared with the experimental results.

In this work, effects of hyper-elastic rubber material properties on the indentation load-deflection curve and subindenter deformation are first examined via finite element (FE) analyses. An optimal data acquisition spot is selected, which features maximum strain energy density and negligible frictional effect. We then contrive two normalized functions, which map an indentation load vs. deflection curve into a strain energy density vs. first invariant curve. From the strain energy density vs. first invariant curve, we can extract the rubber material properties. This new spherical indentation approach produces the rubber material properties in a manner more effective than the common uniaxial tensile/compression tests. The indentation approach successfully measures the rubber material properties and the corresponding nominal stress-strain curve.

In this study, the dynamic instabilities of a beam, subjected to periodic short impulsive loading, are investigated using simple 2-DoF beam model. The behaviors of beam model whose axial motions are constrained are studied for the case of elastic and elastic-plastic behavior. In the case of elastic behavior, the chaotic responses due to the periodic pulse are identified, and the characteristics of the behavior are analysed by investigating the fractal attractors in the Poincare map. The short-term and long-term responses of the beam are unpredictable because of the extreme sensitivities to parameters, a hallmark of chaotic response. In the case of elastic-plastic behavior, the responses are governed by the plastic strains which occur continuously and irregularly as time increases. Thus the characteristics of the response behavior change continuously due to the plastic strain increments, and are unpredictable as well as the elastic case.

In this paper, an efficient yet accurate method for the thermal stress analysis using a first order shear deformation theory(FSDT) is presented. The main objective herein is to systematically modify transverse shear strain energy through the mixed variational theorem(MVT). In the mixed formulation, independent transverse shear stresses are taken from the efficient higher-order zigzag plate theory, and the in-plane displacements are assumed to be those of the FSDT. Moreover, a smooth parabolic distribution through the thickness is assumed in the transverse normal displacement field in order to consider a transverse normal deformation. The resulting strain energy expression is referred to as an enhanced first order shear deformation theory, which is obtained via the mixed variational theorem with transverse normal deformation effect(EFSDTM_TN). The EFSDTM_TN has the same computational advantage as the FSDT_TN(FSDT with transverse normal deformation effect) does, which allows us to improve the through-the-thickness distributions of displacements and stresses via the recovery procedure. The thermal stresses obtained by the present theory are compared with those of the FSDT_TN and three-dimensional elasticity.

압전재료의 다양한 에너지 변환특성 중 기계-전기 에너지간 변환 특성만을 이용하고자 하는 경우로 한정하고, 압전재료의 물성 및 진동모드, 재료물성 평가 사례들을 요약하여 소개하였다. 그러나 이상에서 설명한 압전특성은 매우 개략적인 개념으로서 우수한 압전 응용부품을 개발하기 위해서는 몇 가지 유의할 사항들이 있다. 압전재료는 보다 기본적으로 열에너지, 기계에너지, 전기에너지, 나아가서 Maxwell 방정식에 의해서 전기장과 연결되는 자기에너지까지도 연결시켜서 상호간에 에너지 변환작용을 일으킬 수 있는 특성을 가진다. 기계적 변형(S) = 탄성변형효과 + 역압전효과 + 열팽창효과 전기적 변위(D) = 압전효과 + 유전효과 + 초전효과 즉, 압전 응용부품이 온도변화 및 자기장이 인가되는 환경에서 순수하게 압전현상만을 이용하고자 한다면, 응용분야 및 주위환경에 따라 압전세라믹 소자가 외부 환경변화에 반응을 하지 않도록 적절한 차단 대책을 수립하여야만 한다. 그러나 압전재료의 외부 자기장의 변화에 대한 반응도는 전기장에 대한 반응도에 비해서 매우 작으므로 통상 무시해도 무방하다고 본다. 그리고 압전재료에서 전기장-기계장의 선형성이 보장되는 크기에는 뚜렷한 한계가 있고, 선형성 영역을 벗어나면 이력특성에 의해 비선형 특성 및 포화상태를 보이게 된다는 점 또한 주의하여야 할 점이다. 또한 압전특성은 Curie 온도이하에서만 존재하고, 그 이상의 온도에서는 쌍극자들의 지나친 운동성에 의해 결정 대칭성이 변하여 압전특성이 소멸되므로 사용 온도 구간에 엄격한 제한을 두어야 함도 응용에 유의하여야 한다.

A powerful analytical procedure and strain energy analysis to investigate the free vibration of antisymmetric cross-ply laminated plates, having one pair of opposite edges simply supported, are develped on the basis of the Yang, Norris abd Stavsky (YSN) theory. The equation of motion of the plate are solved by the use of collation method. A range of results are presented for plates to show the effects of modulus ratio and number of layers on natural frequency. In addition, an analysis of the strain energy distributions is used as an aid for the better understanding of the vibration characteristics of the plates.
