Estimation of cable tension through proper measurements is one of the essential tasks in evaluating the safety of cable structures. In this paper, a study on cable tension estimation using the built-in accelerometer and camera in a smartphone was conducted. For the experimental study, visual displacement measurement using a smartphone camera and acceleration measurement using a built-in accelerometer were performed in the cable-stayed bridge model. The estimated natural frequencies and transformed tensions from these measurements were compared with the theoretical values and results from the normal visual displacement method. Through comparison, it can be seen that the error between the method using the smartphone and the normal visual displacement is sufficiently small to be acceptable. It has also been shown that those errors are much smaller than the difference between the values calculated by the theoretical model. These results show that the deviation according to the type of measurement method is not large and it is rather important to use an appropriate mathematical model. In conclusion, in the case of cable tension estimation, it can be said that the visual displacement measurement and acceleration using a smartphone can be a sufficiently applicable method, just like the normal visual displacement method. It is also noteworthy that the smartphone accelerometer has a larger magnitude error and has more limitations such as high-frequency sampling instability compared to the visual displacement method, but shows almost the same performance as the visual displacement method in this cable tension estimation.

The galloping of iced conductors has long been a severe threat to the safety of overhead transmission lines. Compared with normal transmission lines, the ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission lines are more prone to galloping, and the damage caused is more severe. To control the galloping of UHV lines, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive analysis of galloping characteristics. In this paper, a large-span 1000-kV UHV transmission line in China is taken as a practical example where an 8-bundled conductor with D-shaped icing is adopted. Galerkin method is employed for the time history calculation. For the wind attack angle range of 0°~180°, the galloping amplitudes in vertical, horizontal, and torsional directions are calculated. Furthermore, the vibration frequencies and galloping shapes are analyzed for the most severe conditions. The results show that the wind at 0°~10° attack angles can induce large torsional displacement, and this range of attack angles is also most likely to occur in reality. The galloping with largest amplitudes in all three directions occurs at the attack angle of 170° where the incoming flow is at the non-iced side, due to the strong aerodynamic instability. In addition, with wind speed increasing, galloping modes with higher frequencies appear and make the galloping shape more complex, indicating strong nonlinear behavior. Based on the galloping amplitudes of three directions, the full range of wind attack angles are divided into five galloping regions of different severity levels. The results obtained can promote the understanding of galloping and provide a reference for the anti-galloping design of UHV transmission lines.

회전원판의 동적 불안정성은 회전속도를 제한하는 가장 중요한 요인이다. 복합재료를 회전원판에 적용시킬 경우 동적 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있어 경량화와 고속화를 동시에 이룰 수 있다. 티모쉔코 효과라고 불리는 횡전단변형과 회전관성이 판 구조물의 동적거동에 미치는 영향은 많은 연구가 진행되어왔으나 원판의 회전이 이 효과에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 극히 제한적이며 복합재료 원판의 경우는 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 티모쉔코 효과를 고려한 직교이방성 회전원판의 동적 방정식을 유도하였으며 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 MSC/NASTRAN을 이용하여 진동해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과에 따르면 특정 모드에서는 일반적으로 알려진 바와는 달리 회전수의 증가에 따라 티모쉔코 효과가 감소하다 증가하는 현상을 보였다. 또한 데이터만을 기초로 회전증가에 따른 티모쉔코 효과의 감소는 두께비가 작아질수록 증가하고, 반경비, 탄성계수 대 전단계수 비, 진동 모드 수가 커질수록 증가하는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.

The Morton effect (ME) is an instability phenomenon occurring in rotating machineries supported by fluid film bearings and is induced by the thermal deformation of the overhung mass, which is a part of the rotating shaft. Herein, we describe the ME during the high-speed balancing test of a 20 MW class steam turbine. Additionally, to predict the rotating speed at which the ME occurs, we apply the sensitivity vector theory for the steam turbine. During the operation of the steam turbine, we observe a continuous increase in vibration and hysteresis near the rated speed, which is typical of the ME. Increasing the temperature of the lubricating oil supplied to the bearings from 40 to 60℃ suppresses the occurrence of the ME. The rotordynamic analysis for the steam turbine suggests the existence of a mode in which the overhung mass undergoes significant deformation near the rated speed, and we presume that such a mode will increase the occurrence of the ME. The predicted rotating speed of ME occurrence, obtained through the sensitivity vector method, correlates with the test results. Moreover, increasing the temperature of the supplied lubricating oil mitigates the occurrence of ME by reducing the sensitivity between the temperature deviation vector and unbalance mass vector.

Base isolation, one of the popular seismic protection approaches proven to be effective in practical applications, has been widely applied worldwide during the past few decades. As the techniques mature, it has been recognised that, the biggest issue faced in base isolation technique is the challenge of great base displacement demand, which leads to the potential of overturning of the structure, instability and permanent damage of the isolators. Meanwhile, drain, ventilation and regular maintenance at the base isolation level are quite difficult and rather time- and fund- consuming, especially in the highly populated areas. To address these challenges, a number of efforts have been dedicated to propose new isolation systems, including segmental building, additional storey isolation (ASI) and mid-storey isolation system, etc. However, such techniques have their own flaws, among which whipping effect is the most obvious one. Moreover, due to their inherent passive nature, all these techniques, including traditional base isolation system, show incapability to cope with the unpredictable and diverse nature of earthquakes. The solution for the aforementioned challenge is to develop an innovative vibration isolation system to realise variable structural stiffness to maximise the adaptability and controllability of the system. Recently, advances on the development of an adaptive magneto-rheological elastomer (MRE) vibration isolator has enlightened the development of adaptive base isolation systems due to its ability to alter stiffness by changing applied electrical current. In this study, an innovative semi-active storey isolation system inserting such novel MRE isolators between each floor is proposed. The stiffness of each level in the proposed isolation system can thus be changed according to characteristics of the MRE isolators. Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm type II (NSGA-II) with dynamic crowding distance (DCD) is utilised for the optimisation of the parameters at isolation level in the system. Extensive comparative simulation studies have been conducted using 5-storey benchmark model to evaluate the performance of the proposed isolation system under different earthquake excitations. Simulation results compare the seismic responses of bare building, building with passive controlled MRE base isolation system, building with passive-controlled MRE storey isolation system and building with optimised storey isolation system.

This paper presents a numerical study on the rotordynamic analysis of a dual-spool turbofan engine in the context of blade defect events. The blades of an axial-type aeroengine are typically well aligned during the compressor and turbine stages. However, they are sometimes exposed to damage, partially or entirely, for several operational reasons, such as cracks due to foreign objects, burns from the combustion gas, and corrosion due to oxygen in the air. Herein, we designed a dual-spool rotor using the commercial 3D modeling software CATIA to simulate blade defects in the turbofan engine. We utilized the rotordynamic parameters to create two finite element Euler-Bernoulli beam models connected by means of an inter-rotor bearing. We then applied the unbalanced forces induced by the mass eccentricities of the blades to the following selected scenarios: 1) fully balanced, 2) crack in the low-pressure compressor (LPC) and high pressure compressor (HPC), 3) burn on the high-pressure turbine (HPT) and low pressure compressor, 4) corrosion of the LPC, and 5) corrosion of the HPC. Additionally, we obtained the transient and steady-state responses of the overall rotor nodes using the Runge-Kutta numerical integration method, and employed model reduction techniques such as component mode synthesis to enhance the computational efficiency of the process. The simulation results indicate that the high-vibration status of the rotor commences beyond 10,000 rpm, which is identified as the first critical speed of the lower speed rotor. Moreover, we monitored the unbalanced stages near the inter-rotor bearing, which prominently influences the overall rotordynamic status, and the corrosion of the HPC to prevent further instability. The high-speed range operation (>13,000 rpm) coupled with HPC/HPT blade defects possibly presents a rotor-case contact problem that can lead to catastrophic failure.

항공기와 같은 복잡한 구조물의 유한요소해석을 위해 자동요소망을 생성하면 일반적으로 삼각형 요소가 많이 생성되게 된다. 하지만 삼각형 요소는 사각형 요소에 비해 정확도가 떨어지므로 신뢰성 있는 해를 도출하기 어렵다. 이와 같은 문제는 배경셀 적분을 이용한 무요소법(Meshfree Method)을 통해 개선할 수 있으나 이 또한 적분점의 과다사용, 적분영역의 비효율성 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이를 개선하기 위해 절점 기준으로 적분영역을 설정하여 적분을 수행하는 방법이 제안되었지만 비압축성 문제의 경우 해의 진동현상이 일어나는 등 수치 정확도가 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 적분영역을 절점영역이 아닌 요소영역으로 설정하는 수정된 무요소법을 통해 요소의 형태에 따른 정확도 저하가 발생되지 않고 기존의 무요소법에서 발생되는 수치 불안정성 등을 개선하였다. 2차원 예제를 통해 수정된 무요소법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

우리나라 남서해안의 조차는 지역에 따라 3~8m까지 발생하며 이 지역의 풍력기초들은 조류의 다양한 흐름에 의한 세굴로 전체 구조물에 예상치 못한 진동에 의한 장기적인 불안정성이 야기될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 흐름방향을 고려할 수 있도록 개선된 관수로식 수리저항성능 실험기를 이용하여 압밀압력과 흐름방향의 변화가 지반의 수리저항성능에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 실험결과 양방향 흐름에 노출된 시료의 세굴률이 일방향 흐름에서보다 크며, 한계전단응력은 감소하여 세굴에 더욱 취약해지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 압밀압력이 증가함에 따라 세립질 토사의 한계전단응력과 같은 수리저항특성은 증가하여 세굴에 대한 저항성이 증가하나 조립토의 수리저항 성능은 크게 변화하지 않았다. 지반공학적 특성과 수리저항특성의 상관관계를 검토한 결과, 비배수전단강도는 한계전단응력과 비례관계이며 세립토 및 조립토의 흙 분류와 관계없이 하나의 상관관계로 효과적으로 한계전단응력을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며 전단파 속도는 한계전단응력과 비례관계에 있으며 조립토와 세립토의 영역에 따라 비교적 명확히 구분되었다.
