본 연구는 강제진동으로 인해 교량에 발생되는 휨 변위를 효과적으로 완화하는 것이 목적이다. 단순보의 휨거동 제어를 위하여 스프링과 mass의 관계를 결합한 CTMD(Combine Tuned Mass Damper)를 개발하였다. 개발한 CTMD는 교량의 특성에 따라 질량비의 조절이 가능하도록 CTMD 내부의 Mass를 가감할 수 있는 Mass slot과 Mass block을 설계 제작하였다. CTMD에 적용된 Spring의 최대하중은 33.15N으로 고정하였다. 개발된 CTMD의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 길이 10m, 폭 0.6m, 높이 0.74m인 단순보를 제작하였다. 단순보의 지점조건은 한단 힌지, 한단 롤러로 구성하였다. 실험 방법은 단순보의 중앙에 CTMD를 설치하고 Mass를 조절하여 질량비에 변화를 주어 실험하였다. 이때 질량비에 따른 휨 거동 제어효과는 단순보의 중앙에 설치한 LVDT를 이용하여 측정하였다. 가진 조건은 단순보의 최대 휨 거동을 유발시키기 위하여 단순보의 힌지단에서 1.25m 떨어진 곳에 관성형가진기를 설치하여 3Hz로 흔들었다. 실험 결과 최적의 질량비가 2.1일 때 휨 거동 변위의 감쇠율이 약 71.2%로 최상의 제어효과를 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study deals with new application method of the connecting tuned mass damper (CTMD) system for efficient vibration control of adjacent twin structures which have the same dynamic properties such as natural frequency and damping characteristics to each other. In the existing research, the vibration control of the twin structures has a limit to the application of the conventional damper-connection method of the twin structures. Due to the same frequency characteristics leading to the equally vibrating behaviors, it is impossible to apply the conventional connection method of the adjacent structures. In order to overcome these limitations induced by the symmetry of the dynamic characteristics, we propose a new CTMD-based control system that adopts the conventional connection configuration but unbalances the symmetric system by arranging the control device asymmetrically and then can finally achieve the efficient control performance. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed system, numerical simulations of the optimally designed proposed system have been performed in comparison with the optimal design results of the existing independent single tuned mass damper (STMD) control system and the another optimal control system previously proposed by the same author, hereafter called CTMD-OsTMD. The comparative results of the control performances among STMD, CTMD-OsTMD and the proposed CTMD systems verified that the newly proposed control system can be a control-efficient and cost-effective system for vibration suppression of the two adjacent twin structures.

Excessive cable vibrations are detrimental to cable-stayed bridges. Increasing the system damping of cables is a key solution to resolve this severe problem. Equations representing the dynamic characteristics of an inclined cable with a Deck-Anchored Damper (DAD) or with a Clipped Tuned Mass Dampers (CTMD) are reviewed. A theoretical comparison on the performance of cable vibration reduction between the cable-DAD system and the cable-CTMD systems is thoroughly discussed. Optimal system modal damping for the free vibration and transfer functions for the forced vibration for the two cabledamper systems are addressed and compared in detail. Design examples for these two different dampers are also provided.
