The optimum damping and tuning frequency ratio of the tuned mass damper-inerter (TMDI) for the base-isolated structure is obtained using the numerical searching technique under stationary white-noise and filtered white-noise earthquake excitation. The minimization of the isolated structure's mean-square relative displacement and absolute acceleration, as well as the maximization of the energy dissipation index, were chosen as the criteria for optimality. Using a curve-fitting technique, explicit formulae for TMDI damping and tuning frequency for white-noise excitation are then derived. The proposed empirical expressions for TMDI parameters are found to have a negligible error, making them useful for the effective design of base-isolated structures. The effectiveness of TMDI and its optimum parameters are influenced by the soil condition and isolation frequency, according to the comparison made of the optimized parameters and response with different soil profiles. The effectiveness of an optimally designed TMDI in controlling the displacement and acceleration response of the flexible isolated structure under real and pulse-type earthquakes is also observed and found to be increased as the inertance mass ratio increases.

In this paper a systematic test procedure for evaluation of road-induced noise of a vehicle and guidelines for each test are presented. Also, a practical application of the test procedure to a small SUV is presented. According to the test procedure, all the tests were performed to evaluate road-induced booming noise that is in low frequency range. First of all the information on characteristics of road-induced noise was obtained through baseline test. Coupling effects between body structure and acoustic cavity of a compartment were obtained by means of modal tests for a structure and an acoustic cavity. Local stiffness of joint areas between chassis system and car-body was determined by test for measurement of input point inertance. Noise sensitivities of body joints to operational forces were obtained through test for measurement of noise transfer functions. Operational deflection shapes made us analyze behaviors of chassis system under running condition and then find sources of noise due to resonance of the chassis system. Finally, Principal Component Analysis and Transfer Path Analysis were utilized to investigate main paths of road-induced noise. In order to evaluate road-induced booming noise exactly, all of tests mentioned above should be performed systematically.

This paper investigates the prediction of the dynamic strain response using acceleration response only. Two methods are proposed for the strain prediction; one is based on beam theory and the other is calculated by the frequency response function between acceleration and strain. First, it is estimated the dynamics of the simple notched beam, including the non-linearity, through the uni-axial vibration testing. Then, the dynamic strain response is predicted under two different methods using acceleration response. The validation of proposed methods is conducted by the comparison between measured strain and predicted values. The comparison reveals that the proposed method based on the FRF between acceleration and strain is more reliable one than that stemmed from beam theory and the maximum relative error is less than 8 %.

A new hydrodynamic mock circulation system was developed, which can test prosthetic heart valves of various sizes in order to obtain valve parameters, such as pressure drop, regurgitation and valve performance index with a high reproducibility. High reproducibility can be obtained only under equal testing conditions, i.e., the compliance, resistance and inertance of the mock circulation system must be constant parameter estimation using actual pressure and flow data was applied to calculate these systemic variables in order to adjust them to create the necessary equal testing conditions.

This paper presents a lumped model to predict crosstalk characteristics of thermally driven inkjet print heads. Using the lumped R-C model, heating characteristics of the head are predicted to be in agreement with IR temperature measurements. The inter-channel crosstalk is simulated using the lumped R-L network. The values of viscous flow resistance, R and flow inertance, L of connecting channels are adjusted to accord with the 3-D numerical simulation results of three adjacent jets. The crosstalk behaviors of a back shooter head as well as a top shooter head have been investigated. Predictions of the proposed lumped model on the meniscus oscillations are consistent with numerical simulation results. Comparison of the lumped model with experimental results identifies that abnormal two-drop ejection phenomena are related to the increased meniscus oscillations because of the more severe crosstalk effects at higher printing speeds. The degree of crosstalk has been quantified using cross-correlations between neighboring channels and a critical channel dimension for acceptable crosstalk has been proposed and validated with the numerical simulations. Our model can be used as a design tool for a better design of thermal inkjet print heads to minimize crosstalk effects.

TFT LCD 생산 공정에 사용되는 정밀측정/검사/생산장비가 위치하는 바닥의 진동문제는 크게 장비자체의 가동에 의한 것과 장비외부의 가진원에 의해서 정밀장비의 바닥에 진동이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 진동문제는 건물을 설계 시공하는 건축자의 입장에서는 장비 가동전 건물 인수시 진동문제에 관심이 있으나 장비를 운영하는 사용자의 입장에서는 장비 가동전의 진동문제와 더불어 장비 가동시 장비내부의 진동원에 대해서도 진동대책을 요구하게 된다. 따라서 양자의 진동문제 해결을 위해서는 정밀장비 주변의 진동원에 대한 동하중 설계자료와 함께 장비 가동시 바닥에 진동을 발생시키는 진동원인 장비에 대해서 동하중을 파악하여야 한다. 장비기초의 단위하중에 대한 진동응답을 표현하는 주파수 전달함수는 이러한 동하중과 바닥의 진동허용규제치를 동시에 표현하는 요소로 기존의 정밀장비가 요구하는 장비바닥의 진동허용규제치와 함께 동하중을 유발하는 장비기초에서는 반드시 구조물의 동강성 허용규제치를 이용한 구조물의 동적설계가 요구된다.

An inerter is a passive mechanical element whose inertance can be thousands of times its own physical mass. This paper discusses the application of an inerter-based passive control system, termed rotational inertial double-tuned mass damper (RIDTMD), to mitigate human-induced floor vibrations. First, the acceleration frequency response function of the floor with an RIDTMD is first derived. It is then employed to determine the optimal design parameters of the RIDTMD using the extended fixed-points technique. Based on a theoretical analysis, design-oriented empirical functions are proposed for the RIDTMD optimal parameters, whose performance for floor vibration control is evaluated by numerical examples, in which three typical human-induced load types are considered: walking, jumping, and bouncing. The results indicate that the applicability and effectiveness of the RIDTMD for human-induced floor vibration control are robust for various load types, load frequencies, and floor natural frequencies. For the same mass ratio, the RIDTMD is better than the TMD in reducing the floor vibration amplitude and improving the effective frequency suppression bandwidth, and for the same vibration suppression effect, the mass of the RIDTMD is much lighter than that of the TMD.

국내 사용되고 있는 적외선 검출기 냉각용 스털링 극저온 냉동기는 상당부분 수입에 의존하고 있으며, 높은 대당 가격, 제한적인 수명 및 내구성 부족으로 지속적인 극저온 냉동기 수요가 발생하고 있다. 그런데 적외선 검출기용 극저온 냉동기 기술은 국방, 우주관련 기술로 선진국의 기술이전이나 공동 개발이 매우 제한적이다. 본 연구를 통해 개발하고자 하는 맥동관 극저온 냉동기는 저온구동부의 기계적 피스톤을 가스피스톤으로 대체하고, 압축방식을 선형압축방식으로 바꿈으로써 낮은 진동, 높은 수명 및 내구성을 확보할 수 있다. 이를 통해 맥동관 냉동기의 기술수준을 선진국에 근접시키고, 독자적인 냉각형 적외선 검출기 설계 및 제작기술에 대한 기술을 확보하고자 한다.
