This paper reports the results of a study designed to understand and facilitate disaster mitigation for communities located in low frequency/high magnitude earthquake zones. The study is based on a small town located near the New Madrid Fault Zone and is therefore at significant earthquake risk. A system dynamics model describes the variables and policies governing the distribution of building safety over time. Data from this town is used to establish a 25-year baseline. Simulations are run to demonstrate the consequences of different building policies.

이 논문은 와이브로 시스템에서 심각한 문제가 되고 있는 셀간 간섭에 대한 알고리듬 성능 분석에 관한 것이다. 와이브로 시스템의 경우 주파수 재사용 계수가 1이다. 이는 인접 기지국들이 같은 주파수를 사용한다는 의미이다. 인접 기지국들이 같은 주파수를 사용하므로 셀간 간섭이 생기게 된다. 셀간 간섭은 시스템의 성능과 채널 용량에 큰 문제가 되어 전체적인 성능을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 이 논문에서는 DCA(Dynamic Channel Allocation), CS(Channel Segregation), IMUFR(Interference Mitigation Using Frequency Reuse), IDMA(Interleave Division Multiple Access), FH-OFDM, CRSA(Conceptual Random Subcarrier Allocation 그리고 HDD 알고리듬을 적용한 셀간 간섭률을 분석하였다.

For a power grid that has a high wind penetration level, when wind speeds are continuously fluctuating, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation of a variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT) causes the significant output power fluctuation of a VSWT, thereby significantly fluctuating the system frequency. In this paper, an improved power-smoothing scheme of a VSWT is presented that significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation caused by varying wind speeds. The proposed scheme employs an additional control loop based on the frequency deviation that operates in combination with the MPPT control loop. To improve the power-smoothing capability of a VSWT in the over-frequency section (OFS), the control gain of the additional loop, which is set to be inversely proportional to the rotor speed, is proposed. In contrast, the control gain in the under-frequency section is set to be proportional to the rotor speed to improve the power-smoothing capability while avoiding over-deceleration of the rotor speed of a VSWT. The proposed scheme significantly improves the performance of the power-smoothing capability in the OFS, thereby smoothing the frequency fluctuation. The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation by employing the different control gain for the OFS under various wind penetration scenarios.

현재까지의 치수대책이나 복구대책은 대부분 당해 연도의 지역별 피해액만을 기준으로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 지역의 홍수 발생빈도와 홍수피해액 관계를 분석하면 지역의 홍수피해특성을 고려한 보다 합리적인 치수대책을 마련할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 점빈도 분석을 이용하여 과거 38년('70~'07)간의 전국 시군구별 홍수피해자료를 이용하여 무차원 홍수피해 발생빈도와 피해액간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 사분면적 해석방법을 도입하여 전국 시군구의 홍수피해 유형을 다빈도-대피해 지역, 다빈도-소피해 지역, 소빈도-대피해 지역, 소빈도-소피해 지역이라는 네 가지 유형으로 구분하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과를 활용하면 시군구별로 홍수피해액별 발생빈도와 발생빈도별 홍수피해액을 손쉽게 비교할 수 있기 때문에 지역의 치수방어년을 설정하는 데에도 많은 도움이 될 수 있다. 또한, 발생빈도별 홍수피해액을 산정할 수 있기 때문에 치수사업의 효과를 분석하거나 예측하기 위한 기초자료로도 충분히 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The pilot study of SLGT (Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational-wave Telescope) is being performed by KKN (KASI-KISTI-NIMS) collaboration. Among environmental noise sources, Newtonian noise (NN) is one of the most challenging obstacles in order to achieve a good sensitivity in low frequency below 10Hz for terrestrial gravitational wave (GW) detectors. So we should mitigate them for operating the SLGT to detect GWs on the ground. In this poster, we discuss the NNs and its mitigation for SLGT.

A new methodology for mitigation of the wheel squealing is proposed and investigated based on the dithering control. The idea can be applied in railway lines particularly in urban areas. The idea is clearly presented, and applied to a validated model. A full-scale model including the vehicle, curved track and wheel/rail contact is developed in the time domain to analyze the possibility and level of wheel squeal noise. Comparing the numerical results with a field test, the model is validated in different levels namely i) occurrence, ii) squealing frequency and iii) noise level. Two different approaches are proposed a) dithering of the wheel with piezoelectric patches and b) dithering of the rail with piezoelectric stacks. The noise level as well as the wheel responses is compared after applying the control strategy. A parametric study is carried out and effect of the dithering voltage and frequency on the squealing noise is investigated. It is found that both the strategies perform quite effectively within the saturating threshold of piezoelectric actuators.

Among various retrofitting strategies, use of semi-active control for retrofitting a building structure has gained momentum in recent years. One of the techniques for such retrofitting is to connect a weaker building to an adjacent stronger building by semi-active devices, so that performances of a weaker building are significantly improved for seismic forces. In this paper, a ten storey weaker building is connected to an adjacent stronger building using magneto-rheological (MR) dampers, for primarily improving the performance of the weaker building in terms of displacement, drift and base shear. For this, a fuzzy logic controller is specifically developed by fuzzyfying the responses of the coupled system. The performance of the control strategy is compared with the passive-on and passive-off controls. Pounding Mitigation between the two buildings is also investigated using all three control strategies. The results show that there exists a fundamental frequency ratio between the two buildings for which maximum control of the weaker building response takes place with no penalty on the stronger building. There exists also a fundamental frequency ratio where control of the weaker building response is achieved at the expense of the amplification of the stronger building. However, coupling strategy always improves the possibility of pounding mitigation.

지진에 대한 장대 교량의 정확한 반응 해석은 지진 방재에 있어서 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 비동기 다지지점 지진입력에 의한 교량의 반응을 진동수 영역방법과 시간 영역방법으로 해석하였으며 그 결과를 동기 입력 결과와 비교하였다. 시간영역방법에서는 선형모드 중첩 법으로 최대반응 값을 계산하였다. 진동수영역방법에서는 선형랜덤진동 이론을 사용하여 교량 성능에 영향을 미치는 모드와 다지지점 지진입력의 상호상관관계를 고려한 반응의 제곱평균근(RMS값)을 계산하였다. 교량 성능 반응 중, 변위 및 부재의 내력에 대한 시간 영역해석 결과와 진동수영역 해석 결과로부터 최대반응 값과 RMS값의 비로 정의된 최대반응 계수의 실용적인 값과 계산 방법을 요약하였다. 신뢰 있는 최대 반응계수가 있으면, 교량의 성능기반설계에서 구체적인 임의의 입력을 고려한 시간영역방법보다 결과의 일반성 및 수치적인 장점을 갖은 진동수영역방법이 더 효율적이다.

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.

Impact damper is a passive damping system that controls undesirable vibration with mass block impacting with stops fixed to the excited structure, introducing momentum exchange and energy dissipation. However, harmful momentum exchange may occur in the random excitation increasing structural response. Based on the mechanism of impact damping system, a semi-active impact damper (SAID) with controllable impact timing as well as a semi-active control strategy is proposed to enhance the seismic performance of engineering structures in this paper. Comparative experimental studies were conducted to investigate the damping performances of the passive impact damper and SAID. The extreme working conditions for SAID were also discussed and approaches to enhance the damping effect under high-intensity excitations were proposed. A numerical simulation model of SAID attached to a frame structure was established to further explore the damping mechanism. The experimental and numerical results show that the SAID has better control effect than the traditional passive impact damper and can effectively broaden the damping frequency band. The parametric studies illustrate the mass ratio and impact damping ratio of SAID can significantly influence the vibration control effect by affecting the impact force.
