This paper dealt with an experimental study on the free vibration of circular-tube-beam submerged in water. A circular-tube-beam is commonly founded on the nuclear fuel assembly system in nuclear reactor. The nuclear fuel assembly susceptible to flow-induced vibration in nuclear reactor. So, the nuclear fuel assembly be designed to avoid any resonance due to the vibration during the reactor operation. In the experiment, applied boundary condition is clamped-free and the effect of water height to natural frequency and damping is studied. The experiment in air and in water has been performed. Used experimental method is impact exciting method. The natural frequencies and damping ratio according to water height is presented.

The virbration characteristics of a passenger car steering column are studied by using a modal test and a finite element (FE) analysis. To verify the FE model and the results, an experiment using the impact exciting method is performed. Two types of the steering column in this study are considered as follows; (ⅰ) the non-tilt type steering column and (ⅱ) the upper-tilt type steering column. The experimental results are compared with those o the FE analysis, and it ti shown that the results agree with each other. The effects of various design parameters such as the bracket thickness, the column diameter on the natural frequencies are also investigated by FE analysis.

The vibration on building structures due to exciting vibration forces has been studied only for the vibration level on existing buildings. Recently, several researches have been performed on the prediction of vertical vibration on structures by using an analytical method. However, these studies have been focused on mainly the vibration analysis through analytical modeling of structures. This study aims to investigate the dynamic characteristics of vertical vibration transfer from lower stories to upper ones on the Rahmen building structures due to traffic loads. In order to examine the characteristics of vertical vibration transfer, the mode analysis and the impact experiment were conducted several times on one building structures. The results of this study suggest that the characteristics of vertical vibration transfer are different in terms of the type of trains.

The structure borne noise of the air-conditioner, which degrades the noise quality, is hardly reduced by the general noise treatments. It can be effectively reduced by eliminating the structural vibration which the noise originates from. The rubber vibration isolator prevents the dynamic force induced by the fan driving motor from exciting the chassis structure, which finally reduces the structure borne noise. The dynamic properties of the vibration isolation system such as the natural frequency of the vibration isolation and loss factor of the rubber isolator, need to be experimentally evaluated. In this paper, these dynamic properties were obtained by the resonant method using the impact hammer for 3 types of the isolator specimens. It is known that the isolation natural frequency of the axial direction of the rubber isolator is two times higher than that of the radial direction, and is proportional to the hardness of the rubber specimen.

Two dimensional sloshing phenomena in regularly excited liquid cargo tank are numerically simulated with finite difference method. Navier-Stokes equations and continuity equation are computed for this study. The free-surface is determined every time step satisfying kinematic boundary condition using marker-density method. And the exciting force is treated by adding the acceleration of the tank to source term. The results are compared with other existing experiment results. And the comparison results show a good agreement. The sloshing phenomena in the tank of the 138K LNG carrier in sway motion is simulated with present calculation methods in low filling level. To find the relations between impact pressure and excitation condition, the calculations are performed in various amplitudes and periods. The averaged maximum pressures are compared each other.

주진동계인 외팔보의 자유단에 부진동계인 부가질량을 설치하여 부가질량의 크기와 충격 틈새 및 접촉면적을 변화시켜 그때의 진동진폭 특성을 실험함으로써 밝혀진 결과들을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 부가질량의 상하 충격작용이 계의 진동진폭 감소에 상당히 큰 효과가 있으며 일종의 충격감쇠기로써 사용할 수 있음이 실험적으로 확인되었다. 2) 부가질량이 같을 때 충격틈새를 적절히 조정함으로써 진동진폭을 감소시킬 수 있다. 3) 충격 틈새가 일정할 때, 부가질량이 클수록 진동진폭은 감소하지만, 특정 조건에서는 부가질량이 작아도 진폭 감소효과가 크다. 4) 부가질량과 충격틈새가 일정한 조건에서 그 틈새가 작을 때 (1mm, 2mm) 부가질량의 접촉마찰면적이 클수록 진동진폭은 감소한다. 5) 계의 진동진폭 감소가 클 때, 주진동계와 부가질량의 진동진폭에는 위상차가 발생하며 충격감쇠 효과가 가장 클 때 위상차도 최대로 된다. 6) 일반적으로 부가질량이 클수록 진폭은 감소한다. 향후의 연구과제로서 충격시의 소음을 감소시키며 감쇠작용을 증가시키기 위해 접촉면에 적절한 방진고무를 설치하여 그때의 진동 감소 특성을 구명할 것이 요구된다. 이러한 일련의 기초연구를 통하여 목적으로 하고 있는 충격식 동흡진기의 설계 및 이에 대한 실험을 수행할 것이다.

In recent years, Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) strengthening is found to be one of the best methods to strengthen steel structures. The fibrous bond can also influence the vibration characteristics of the strengthened element apart from its static strength enhancement property. The main objective of this study is to understand the influence of CFRP strengthening on the dynamic Behaviour of Thin-Webbed Castellated Beams (TWCBs). A detailed experimental investigation was carried out on five sets of beams with varying parameters such as domination of shear (Shear Dominant, Moment Dominant and Moment and Shear Dominant), sectional classification (Plastic and Semi-compact) and perforation geometries (h_o/d_wratio 0.65 and e/h_o ratio 0.3). Free vibration analysis was carried out by exciting the simply supported TWCBs with an impact force generated by a ball dropped from a specific height. Logarithmic decrement method was used to obtain the damping ratio and natural frequencies of vibration were found by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Natural frequency showed an increase in a range of 10.5 - 55% for the different sets of castellated beams. An increase of 62.30% was noted in the damping ratio of TWCBs after strengthening which is an indication of improvement in the vibration characteristics of the beam.

선박이 파랑중에 충격력을 받거나 불규칙한 외력을 받았을 경우에 시간영역에서의 운동방정식을 해석하는 것이 편리하다. 본 연구에서는 주파수영역에서 3차원 Green함수를 이용한 패널방법을 사용하여 부가질량, 파랑감쇠계수, 1차항 파강제력과 시간평균된 표류력을 계산하였고, 기억효과를 포함한 시간영역의 운동방정식에서 Newmark-$\beta$방법을 사용하여 수치적분하였다. 계산 예로 계열 60 선박($C_B=0.7$)을 선정하여 불규파중에서 전진할 때의 6자유도 운동, 선수미에서의 가속도, 갑판침수 횟수 및 선저 노출 횟수 등을 계산하였다. 또한 2차항 파강제력을 운동방정식에서 고려하여 파도중에서 추력증가에 대해서 검토하였다.

Recently in the Mongolian wireless marketplace, many E-commerce companies have been making considerable investments in the technological development of M-commerce, taking competitive advantage of new business possibilities offered by Internet-based wireless technologies. In the Mongolian wireless marketplace, this new mobile environment opens the door for new and exciting market opportunities in mobile services and applications. In the near future, these companies will be looking toward M-commerce services as a supplemental source of revenue in the mobile marketplace. This paper examines the roles of M-commerce in the consumers' in order to promote the consumers' loyalty in the booming M-commerce. This paper contains theory that focuses on the basic concepts of the M-commerce environment, its wireless network technologies, and its applications infrastructure. Upon searching for references to assist us in establishing a market hypothesis, we discovered that few comprehensive studies on consumer perspective and behavior related to M-commerce services actually exist in the literature. In the area of M-commerce, many companies neglect the consumer perspective, concentrating only on technological factors only when formulating their market strategies. And, due to technological blindness, many companies were not able to succeed in end-user E-commerce services. Given that fact, this paper formulates a consumer-centric research model. In order to prove the research model, we chose the survey method which allows for the collection of large amounts of data from a sizeable population in a highly economical way. Through the survey, this paper defines consumer's attitudes towards M-commerce services by identifying potential Business-to-Commerce(B2C) applications and its primary target groups in terms of gender and age, and by investigating whether consumers recognize the value proposition of M-commerce applications and services. As shown in the data analysis and results, this research concludes that M-commerce development in Mongolia is still at its infancy, and that the implementation of M-commerce depends not only on technological progress, but also on consumer attitudes and their willingness to adopt M-commerce services. As well, other complex cross-cultural factors-socially, economically, culturally, et cetera-enter strongly into the equation.
