A moored floating structure may exhibit resonant motion responses to low-frequency excitations. Similar to the resonant responses of many vibration systems, the motion amplitude of a moored floating structure is significantly affected by the damping of the entire system. In such cases, the damping contributed by the mooring lines sometimes accounts for as much as 80% of the total damping. While the damping induced by catenary mooring lines is well-investigated, few studies have been conducted on the damping induced by taut mooring lines, especially one partly embedded in soil. The present study develops a simple but accurate model for estimating the damping contributed by mooring lines. A typical type of taut mooring line was used as the reference and the hydrodynamic drag force and soil resistance were taken into consideration. The proposed model was validated by comparing its predictions with those of a previously developed model and experimental measurements obtained by a physical model. Case studies and sensitivity studies were also conducted using the validated model. The damping induced by the soil resistance was found to be considerably smaller than the hydrodynamic damping. The superposition of the wave frequency motion on the low-frequency motion was also observed to significantly amplify the damping induced by the mooring lines.

In this paper, modal testing and finite element modeling results to identify the modal parameters of a nuclear fuel rod as well as its cladding tube are discussed. A vertically standing full-size cladding tube and a fuel rod with lead pellets were used in the modal testing. As excessive flow-induced vibration causes a failure in fuel rods, such as fretting wear, the vibration level of fuel rods should be low enough to prevent failure of these components. Because vibration amplitude can be estimated based on the modal parameters, the dynamic characteristics must be determined during the design process. Therefore, finite element models are developed based on the test results. The effect of a lumped mass attached to a cladding tube model was identified during the finite element model optimization process. Unlike a cladding tube model, the density of a fuel rod with pellets cannot be determined in a straightforward manner because pellets do not move in the same phase with the cladding tube motion. The density of a fuel rod with lead pellets was determined by comparing natural frequency ratio between the cladding tube and the rod. Thus, an improved fuel rod finite element model was developed based on the updated cladding tube model and an estimated fuel rod density considering the lead pellets. It is shown that the entire pellet mass does not contribute to the fuel rod dynamics; rather, they are only partially responsible for the fuel rod dynamic behavior.

본 연구에서는 임의 형태의 경계조건을 갖는 부분구조 모드를 이용하여 구조물의 고유치해석을 수행할 수 있는 새로운 혼합경계합성법을 제시한다. 각 부분 구조의 모드특성으로는 기존의 고정, 자유, 그리고 하중경계모드가 모두 사용될 수 있으며 고정 및 하중경계모드를 사용한 경우에는 두번의 연속적인 모드변환식이 사용 된다. 부분구조간의 연결부에서 정의되는 경계자유도만을 이용하여 고유치해석을 수행하며 고유치해석의 최종적인 특성방정식은 경계자유도의 갯수와 같은 연립방정식 에서 비롯되는 다항식이 된다. 제시한 방법은 유한요소법 뿐만 아니라 실험적 모드 해석을 통해 모형화된 부분구조를 쉽게 고려할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 제시한 방법을 간단한 집중질량계에 적용하여 부분구조모드의 특성과 수렴성 및 최적의 부분구조 모 드의 조합이 존재함을 보인다.

This study is intended to investigate the seismic responses of bridge structures considering site effects. The site effects in the seismic analysis of bridge structures were classified into two parts. At first, the seismic responses of the structures on each "soil profile types" of the code were evaluated in accordance with code-specified method and compared with results of time-history analysis method. And next, as a second stage of the study, the responses of the two different soil with considerably different soil properties, even though they are classified to the same "soil profile types" of the code, were evaluated and compared each other. The first part of study is purposed to evaluate the applicability of code-specified method, while the other part is purposed to find the variance of the seismic responses from the different soil sites in the same soil profile types of the code. For the analysis, two major methods of the code, single-mode spectral anaysis and multi-mode spectral analysis, were used and the time-history analysis method which is expected to give more accurate responses was also used for the comparison purposes. For the time-history analysis, time-domain analysis technique of the lumped-mass model with frequency-independent soil springs and dampers was adopted and artificially generated spectra of the code was used as input motion. As the results of the study, the code specified methods for the seismic responses considering the site effects were verified to give the results in conservative side for the most of the cases. However, for the structures on the site with considerable flexibility, the responses of the bridge girders or deckplates by the code methods both in section forces and horizontal movement responses, may have much smaller values than the actual responses. Therefore, more detailed analysis considering the flexibility of the base soil may be required to have more reasonable results in girder responses.in girder responses.

감쇠구조물의 해석을 위해서는 정확한 감쇠모델을 구성하는 것이 중요하지만, 감쇠특성을 모델링 하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 부정확한 감쇠 모델링에서 기인하는 오차는 진동 소음 문제 및 구조물 안전 평가 등에 많은 어려움을 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주파수 응답함수를 이용한 비비례 점성감쇠행렬 추정기법을 제시하였다. 복소 주파수 응답함수는 구조물의 실험데이터로부터 계측되며, 정상상태 주파수 응답함수는 계측된 복소 주파수 응답함수로부터 추정된다. 제안된 기법을 통해 비비례 점성감쇠 행렬을 추정하였으며, 두 가지 수치 예제(집중질량 모델과 외팔보)를 통해 제시된 기법을 검토하였다. 결과적으로 두 가지 예제 모두에서 비비례 점성감쇠 행렬을 정확히 추정할 수 있었다.

This study evaluated the Hook-up installation of an offshore site construction process, which is the final step in an offshore site installation process. During Hook-up installation, the offshore structure can have a detrimental effect on the work stability due to low-frequency motion. Moreover, economic costs can be incurred by the increase in available days of a tugboat. Therefore, this study developed a numerical analysis program to assess the dynamic behavior of mooring systems during hook-up installation to analyze the generally performed installation process and determine when the tugboat should be released. In this program, the behavior of an offshore structure was calculated using Cummin's time-domain motion equation, and the mooring system was calculated by Lumped mass method (LMM). In addition, a tugboat algorithm for hook-up installation was developed to apply the Hook-up procedure. The model used in the calculations was the barge type assuming FPSO (Floating production storage and off-loading) and has a taut mooring system connected to 16 mooring lines. The results of the simulation were verified by comparing with both MOSES, which is a commercial program, and a calculation method for restoring coefficient matrix, which was introduced by Patel and Lynch (1982). Finally, the offset of the structure according to the number of tugboats was calculated using the hook-up simulation, and the significant value was used to represent the calculation result.

A 4${\times}10^{19}cm^{3}$ carbon-doped base AlGaAs/GaAs HBY was grown using carbontetracholoride(CCl$_4$) by atmospheric pressure MOCVD. Abruptness of emitter-base junction was characterized by SIMS(secondary ion mass spectorscopy) and the doping concentration of base layer was confirmed by DXRD(double crystal X-ray diffractometry). Mesa-type HBTs were fabricated using wet etching and lift-off technique. The base sheet resistance of R$_{sheet}$=550${\Omega}$/square was measured using TLM(transmission line model) method. The fabricated transistor achieved a collector-base junction breakdown voltage of BV$_{CBO}$=25V and a critical collector current density of J$_{O}$=40kA/cm$^2$ at V$_{CE}$=2V. The 50$\times$100$\mu$$^2$ emitter transistor showed a common emitter DC current gain of h$_{FE}$=30 at a collector current density of JS1CT=5kA/cm$^2$ and a base current ideality factor of ηS1EBT=1.4. The high frequency characterization of 5$\times$50$\mu$m$^2$ emitter transistor was carried out by on-wafer S-parameter measurement at 0.1~18.1GHz. Current gain cutoff frequency of f$_{T}$=27GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of f$_{max}$=16GHz were obtained from the measured Sparameter and device parameters of small-signal lumped-element equivalent network were extracted using Libra software. The fabricated HBT was proved to be useful to high speed and power spplications.

이 논문에서는 유체-구조물-지반의 상호작용을 고려한 해상풍력발전기의 지진응답해석법을 제시하였다. 풍력발전기는 tower와 그 정점에 집중된 질량으로 모델링 되었다. 이 tower는 유연한 해저지반에 기초하고 있는 튜브형 cantilever로 이상화하였다. Tower와 해수 간의 동적 상호작용, 기초와 지반간의 동적 상호작용이 고려된 유체-구조물-지반 연성계의 지배방정식은 부분구조법과 Rayleigh-Ritz방법에 의해서 유도되었다. 해수는 압축성 비점성 이상 유체로 이상화하였다. 해수로 포화된 층상지반에 놓인 footing의 동적 강성은 Thin Layer법에 의해서 계산하여 상부구조물 모델과 결합시켰다. 이 해석법을 해상풍력발전기 모델의 지진응답해석에 적용하였다. 해석 결과를 준거해와 비교해서 제안한 해석법의 타당성을 검증하였다. Tower의 유연성, 지반의 강성이 해상풍력발전기 지진거동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 유체-구조물 상호작용과 지반-구조물 상호작용의 지진응답에 대한 상대적인 중요도를 비교 평가하였다.
