Rain-wind induced cable vibration can cause serious problems in cable-stayed bridge. External dampers attached to the cables have become widely accepted as an effective means for stay-cable vibration suppression. For very long stay-cables, however, such damper systems are rendered ineffective, as the dampers need be attached near the end of cables for aesthetic reasons. A recent study by the authors proposed that a movable anchorage system is replaced direct fixed support of the cable with a support through a bearing and damper. This paper extends the previous work by adding active control system to mitigate the cable vibration. The response of a cable with the proposed active control system is obtained and then compared to those of the cable with and without an external passive damper. The results show that the active control system can provide superior protection than the passive control system for a cable vibration.

포항제철 2열연공장의 사상압연에 사용되고 있는 DC 모터를 가지는 열간압연 구동기에 대한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계방법을 제안한다. 기존에는 PI 재어기법을 이용하여 속도를 제어하고 있으므로 불확실성과 외란등이 존재할 경우 양호한 제어 성능을 얻기 힘들다. 이를 해결하기 위해 주파수 하중 함수를 가지는 혼합감도최소화 문제를 설정하여 견실성을 보장하는 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기를 설계한다. 이때 주파수 하중함수는 루프쉐이핑기법을 이용하여 주어진 구동기 플랜트에 적합하도록 선택한다. H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계는 Pasek이 제시한 DC 모터의 모델링 방법에 의해 얻어진 모델을 포함하는 구동기 모델에서 속도제어기 부분을 제외한 모델을 대상으로 한다. 제안한 견실 속도제어기 설계방법은 파라미터 변화나 부하토크 변동 등의 외란에 대하여 폐루프 시스템의 견실안정성과 원하는 속도에 좋은 추적 성능을 보인다. 제어 대상인 포항제철 2열연공장의 열간압연 구동기에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 기준속도 추적성, 응답속도, 불확실성과 외란에 대한 견실성 등의 성능에 기존의 PI 속도제어기보다 양호함을 확인함으로써 제안한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

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.

In the evaluation of seismic performance for structural materials and components, the loading rate and axial force can have a significant impact. Due to time-delay effects between input and output displacements, It is difficult to apply high-rate displacement in cyclic tests and hybrid simulations. Additionally, the difficulty of maintaining a consistent vertical load in the presence of lateral displacement has limited fast and real-time tests performed while maintaining a constant vertical load. In this study, slow, fast cyclic tests and real-time hybrid simulations were conducted to investigate the rate dependency and the influence of vertical loads of Isolation Bearing. In the experiment, the FLB System including an Adaptive Time Series (ATS) compensation and a state estimator was constructed for real-time control of displacement and vertical load. It was found that the vertical load from the superstructure and loading rate can have a significant impact on the strength of the seismic isolation bearing and its behavior during an earthquake. When conducting experiments for seismic performance evaluation, they must be implemented to be similar to reality. This study demonstrates the excellent performance of the system built and used for seismic performance evaluation and enables accurate and efficient seismic performance evaluation.

Recently structures become longer and higher because of the developments of new materials and construction techniques. However, such modern structures are susceptible to excessive structural vibrations, which may induce problems of serviceability and structural damages. In this paper we attempt to control structural vibration using the probabilistic neural network(PNN) and the artificial neural network(ANN) based on the training pattern that consist of only the structural state vector and the control force. The state vectors of the structure and control forces made by linear quadratic regulator(LQR) algorithm are used for training pattern of PNN and ANN. The proposed algorithm is applied for the vibration control of the three story shear building under Northridge earthquake. Control results by the proposed PNN and ANN are compared with each other.

In most experimental researches on the liquefaction phenomenon, an earthquake as a random vibration has been regraded as a sinusoidal wave or a triangular wave with an equivalent amplitude. Together with the development in the part of signal control and data acquisition, dynamic experimental equipments in the soil dynamics have also developed rapidly and further more, several real earthquakes have been simulated in the large model test such as shaking table tests and centrifuge tests. In Korea, several elementary laboratory tests to simulate the real earthquake load were performed. From these test results, it was reported that the sinusoidal wave cannot reliably reflect the soil dynamic behavior under the real earthquake motion. In this study, 4 types of dynamic motions such as the sinusoidal wave, the triangular wave, the incremental triangular wave and several real earthquake motions which were classified with shock-type and vibration-type were loaded to find something new to explain the change of the excess pore water pressure under the real earthquake load. Through the detailed investigation and comparison on all test results, it is found that the dynamic flow is generated by the soil plastic deformation and the velocity head of dynamic flow is changed the pressure head in the un-drained condition. It can be concluded that the change of the excess pore water pressure is related to the pressure head of dynamic flow. Lastly, a new hypothesis to explain such a liquefaction initiation phenomenon under the real earthquake load is also proposed and verified.

In this study, the integrated control and safety management system for a super-large LNG membrane storage tank has been presented based on the investigation and analysis of measuring equipments and safety analysis system for a conventional LNG membrane storage tank. The integrated control and safety management system, which may increase a safety and efficiency of a super-large LNG membrane storage tank, added additional pressure gauges and new displacement/force sensors at the steel anchor between an inner tank and a prestressed concrete structure. The displacement and force sensors may provide clues of a membrane panel failure and a LNG leakage from the inner tank. The conventional leak sensor may not provide proper information on the membrane panel fracture even though LNG is leaked until the leak detector, which is placed at the insulation area behind an inner tank, send a warning signal. Thus, the new integrated control and safety management system is to collect and analyze the temperature, pressure, displacement, force and LNG density, which are related to the tank system safety and leakage control from the inner tank. The digital data are also measured from measurement systems such as displacement and force of a membrane panel safety, LNG level and density, cool-down process, leakage, and pressure controls.

본 고에서는 풍하중을 받는 사장교의 진동을 제어할 목적으로 사용하는 TLD의 효과와 원리를 소개하였다. 사장교의 경우 완공 후 보다 시공중에 더 위험한 구조물이므로, 비록 완공후에 진동을 별도로 제어할 필요가 없는 경우라도 시공중에 일시적으로 진동제어를 할 경우에 편리하게 이용될 수 있다. TLD는 물의 수위를 변화시킴으로, 시공단계에 따라 변하는 사장교의 진동특성에 간편하고 효과적으로 대응할 수 있다. 아울러 교량의 노후나 설계오차 발생시에도 이에 따라 TLD의 특성의 수정이 용이하며, 구조적으로도 단순하기 때문에 유지관리가 간편한 장점이 있다.
