Nowadays, the increasing demands upon mobile devices such as wireless sensor networks and the recent advent of low power electrical devices such as MEMS make such renewable power sources attractive. A vibration-driven MEMS lead zirconate titanate $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) cantilever device is developed for energy harvesting application. This paper presents a piezoelectric based energy harvester which is suitable for power generating from conventional vibration and has in providing energy for low power electron ic devices. The PZT cantilever is used d33 mode to get the electrical power. The PZT cantilever based energy harvester with the dimension of 7 mm${\times}$3 mm${\times}$0.03 mm is fabricated using micromachining technologies. This PZT cantilever has the mechanical resonance frequency with a 900 Hz. With these conditions, we get experimentally the 37 uW output power from this device with the application of 1g acceleration using the 900 Hz vibration. From this study, we show the feasibility of one of energy harvesting candidates using PZT based structure. This PZT energy harvester could be used for various applications such a batteryless micro sensors and micro power generators.

Dynamic characteristics, named as natural frequencies, damping ratios and mode shapes, affect the dynamic behavior of buildings and they vary depending on the construction stages. It is aimed to present the effects of construction stages on the dynamic characteristics of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings considering theoretical and experimental investigations. For this purpose, a three-storey RC building model with a 1/2 scale was constructed in the laboratory of Civil Engineering Department at Karadeniz Technical University. The modal testing measurements were performed by using Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) method for the bare frame, brick walled and coated cases of the building model. Randomly generated loads by impact hammer were used to vibrate the building model; the responses were measured by uni-axial seismic accelerometers as acceleration. The building's modal parameters at these construction stages were extracted from the processed signals using the Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD) technique. Also, the finite element models of each case were developed and modal analyses were performed. It was observed from the experimental and theoretical investigations that the natural frequencies of the building model varied depending on the construction stages considerably.

System identification is a fundamental step towards the application of structural health monitoring and damage detection techniques. On this respect, the development of evolved identification strategies is a priority for obtaining reliable and repeatable baseline modal parameters of an undamaged structure to be adopted as references for future structural health assessments. The paper presents the identification of the modal parameters of the Guangzhou New Television Tower, China, using a data-driven stochastic subspace identification (SSI-data) approach complemented with an appropriate automatic mode selection strategy which proved to be successful in previous literature studies. This well-known approach is based on a clustering technique which is adopted to discriminate structural modes from spurious noise ones. The method is applied to the acceleration measurements made available within the task I of the ANCRiSST benchmark problem, which cover 24 hours of continuous monitoring of the structural response under ambient excitation. These records are then subdivided into a convenient number of data sets and the variability of modal parameter estimates with ambient temperature and mean wind velocity are pointed out. Both 10 minutes and 1 hour long records are considered for this purpose. A comparison with finite element model predictions is finally carried out, using the structural matrices provided within the benchmark, in order to check that all the structural modes contained in the considered frequency interval are effectively identified via SSI-data.

A passive vibration mitigation architecture is proposed to damp transverse vibrations of guyed masts. The scheme is based on a number of pendula attached to the mast and tuned to the vibration modes to be controlled. This scheme differs from the well-known autoparametric pendulum absorber system. The equations of motion of the guyed mast with an arbitrary number of pendula are obtained. The leading bending behaviour of a typical truss mast is described by an equivalent beam model whereas the guys are conveniently modeled as equivalent transverse springs whose stiffness comprises the elastic and geometric stiffness. By assuming a mast with an inertially and elastically isotropic cross-section, a planar model of the guyed mast is investigated. The linearization of the equations of motion of the mast subject to a harmonic distributed force leads to the transfer functions of the structure without the dampers and with the dampers. The transfer functions allow to investigate the mitigation effects of the pendula. By employing one pendulum only, tuned to the frequency of the lowest mode, the effectiveness of the passive vibration potential in reducing the motion and acceleration of the top section of the mast is demonstrated.

무인항공기는 조종사 없이 지상에서의 원격조종에 의해 스스로 비행하는 비행체이다. 하지만 무인항공기는 제어가 쉽다는 장점이 있지만, 어떤 한 지점 위를 정지하여 비행하는 호버링 기능을 할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 그에 비해 무인항공기 중 하나인 쿼드콥터는 동작원리가 간단하고 호버링이 가능하고, 비행의 안정성이 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 쿼드콥터의 안정화 비행을 위한 PID 제어 방식과 Fuzzy 제어 방식을 이용하는 비행 안정화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 시스템은 자이로 센서와 가속도 센서의 결합을 통해 드론의 현재 자세 값을 알아낸 후 자세 제어 알고리즘을 통해 안정화 비행을 실시한다. 또 GPS 센서를 이용하여 현재의 위치를 외부조작 없이 유지하는 위치고정 모드를 제안한다.

In the vibration test, Most of the test specifications is standardized methods of sinusoidal excitation. However, in accordance with the ability of the test equipment progress and developments of electronic technology, methods of random vibration test is standardized in the MIL standard. Therefore, in this study, we tried to analyze Missile Guidance Structure using a finite element analysis with ABAQUS 6.13 that is commercial program. First, Random response analysis is analyzed. Following analyzing the results, we wanted to find the model that is lightweight and resonance does not occur.

Special attention in the role of convection in vapor crystal growth has been paid since some single crystals under microgravity environments less than 1 $g_0$ exhibits a diffusive-convection mode and much uniformity in front of the crystal regions than a normal gravity acceleration of 1 $g_0$. The total molar fluxes show asymmetrical patterns in interfacial distribution, which indicates the occurrence of either one single or more than one convective cell. As the gravitational level decreases form 1 $g_0$ down to $1.0{\times}10^{-4}\;g_0$, the intensity of convection, indicative of the maximum molar fluxes, is reduced significantly for ${\Delta}T=30K$ and 90 K. The total molar fluxes decay first order exponentially with the partial pressure of component B, PB (Torr) for 20 Torr ${\leq}PB{\leq}$ 300 Torr, and two gravity accelerations of $g_y=1\;g_0$ and 0.1 $g_0$.

대부분의 대공간구조물은 극장, 스타디움, 체육관 등 공공성을 가지게 되어 내진안전성에 있어서 중요성이 많이 인식되고 있다. 그러나 구조형식 및 형상에 관하여 다양성을 가지고 있는 대공간구조물이 동적하중인 지진하중을 받을 때 나타나는 구조물의 거동은 파악하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 대공간구조의 주 구조요소인 아치구조물에 대하여 고유진동모드를 검토하였고 모의지진파를 입력하여 지진거동특성을 분석한 결과로서 아치구조물은 설계가속도스펙트럼의 크기보다 장주기 성분에 더 많은 영향을 받는다는 것을 파악하였다.

For $P_B=50,\;{\Delta}T=10K$, Ar=5, Pr=2.36, Le=0.015, Pe=1.26, Cv=1.11, the intensity of solutal convection (solutal Grashof number $Grs=3.44x10^4$) is greater than that of thermal convection (thermal Grashof number $Grt=1.81x10^3$) by one order of magnitude, which is based on the solutally buoyancy-driven convection due to the disparity in the molecular weights of the component A($Hg_2Cl_2$) and B(He). With increasing the partial pressure of component B from 10 up to 200 Torr, the rate is decreased exponentially. The convective transport decreases with lower g level and is changed to the diffusive mode at 0.1 $g_0$. In other words, for regions in which the g level is 0.1 $g_0$ or less, the diffusion-driven convection results in a parabolic velocity profile and a recirculating cell is not likely to occur. Therefore a gravitational acceleration level of less than 0.1 $g_0$ can be adequate to ensure purely diffusive transport.

로보트 매니퓰레이터를 제어하는데 있어서, 토오크 계산법을 이용한 새로운 가변구조 모델 추종제어기를 설계한다. 슬라이딩 모드가 존재하기 위한 충부조건은 Lyapunov 함수에 의해 유도된다. 기준 모델은 이중 적분기를 사용하고 가속도 입력은 시스템의 안정성과 원하는 성능을 얻기 위하여 비례-미분 제어기로 구성한다. 제안된 제어기법은 매니퓰레이터 동력학 방정식 각 항들의 상한값과 추정값을 부여함으로써 정확한 매개변수의 지식과 역행렬 계산을 요구하지 않는다. 따라서 모의실험 결과 제어된 제어기가 목적궤적의 수렴성이 개선되었음을 보여준다.
