The spacer grid is one of the main structural components in the fuel assembly, which supports the fuel rods and maintains coolable geometry from an external load. A vibration test and a finite element analysis using ABAQUS on a dummy fuel rod continuously supported by Optimized H type(OHT) and New Doublet (ND) spacer grids arc performed to obtain the vibration characteristics such as natural frequencies and mode shapes an(1 to verify a finite element model. The results from the test and the finite element analysis are compared by modal assurance criteria (MAC) values. It is resulted that MACs for the first, the third and the fifth mode shapes are relatively good as compared with those of the second an(1 fourth ones. The natural frequency differences between two methods as well as the mode comparison results for the rod with OHT spacer grid are better than those with ND spacer grid. It is judged that the FE model for the ND spacer grid spring should be modified to consider the long contact length which actually happen when the spring supports the rod.

The structure of small launch vehicle can be divided into engine section and payload section. This paper introduces modal test of the payload section of small launch vehicle which is composed to satellite, PLA (Payload Adapter), VEB (Vehicle Equipment Bay), KMS (Kick Motor Support) and KM (Kick Motor). From this test, dynamic properties of the 2nd stage structure of small launch vehicle can be obtained. In this test, to simulate free-free boundary condition, test object was hung by 4 bungee cords and excited by using impact hammer Modal test data are analyzed by using TDAS(Test Data Analysis Software). As the result, modal parameters and mode shapes below 100Hz of the 2nd stage of small launch vehicle were identified.

Ultrasonic flip-chip bonding needs a precise bonding tool which delivers ultrasonic energy into chip bumps effectively to use the selected resonance mode and frequency of the horn structure. The bonding tool is excited at the resonance frequency and the input and output ports should locate at the anti-nodal points of the resonance mode. In this study, we propose new design method with topology optimization for ultrasonic bonding tools. The SIMP(solid isotropic material with penalization) method is used to formulate topology optimization and OC(optimal criteria) algorithm is adopted for the update scheme. MAC(modal assurance criterion) tracking is used for the target frequency and mode. We fabricate two prototypes of ultrasonic tools which are based on 3D optimization models after reviewing 2D and 3D topology optimization results. The prototypes are satisfied with the ultrasonic frequency and vibration amplitude as the ultrasonic bonding tools.

본 연구에서는 횡등방성 특성을 갖는 인쇄회로기판(PCB)의 물성 예측을 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 등방성 소재와 달리 횡등방성 소재의 물성 취득을 위한 별도의 시험기준은 없으며, PCB와 같이 적층된 형태의 박판 구조물에 대해서는 재료시험 또한 쉽지가 않다. 모달시험을 통해 취득한 모달 파라미터와 상용 소프트웨어인 $OptiStruct^{(R)}$의 치수 최적화 기법을 활용, 시험-해석 간 주파수 차이를 최소화시키는 강성행렬 성분을 도출하여 기계적 물성을 예측하였다. 또한 주파수 별 모드형상을 MAC(Modal Assurance Criteria) 값을 기준으로 비교, 검토하여 예측 물성에 대한 유효성을 확인하였다. 제안된 방법은 향후 PCB를 포함하는 전장제품의 설계검증을 위한 구조해석에 확대 적용될 것으로 기대한다.

This study aims to present a novel optimization algorithm known as gravitational search algorithm (GSA) for structural damage detection. An objective function for damage detection is established based on structural vibration data in frequency domain, i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes. The feasibility and efficiency of the GSA are testified on three different structures, i.e., a beam, a truss and a plate. Results show that the proposed strategy is efficient for determining the locations and the extents of structural damages using the first several modal data of the structure. Multiple damages cases in different types of structures are studied and good identification results can be obtained. The effect of measurement noise on the identification results is investigated.

In this study, a method is presented to find out a relationship between modes of a substructure and those of the system structure. Superelement analysis is performed for a full vehicle system, where the bus is partitioned by six parts. In this study, Modal Assurance Criteria(MAC) which is to represent the correlation between two mode shapes is used to investigate the contribution factor of each substructure for the full system. The proposed participation factor can be used for design of substructures to meet the design target of the total structural system.

최근 들어 장대교량의 건설에 현수교, 사장교 등과 같은 케이블이 주 요소인 교량 형식이 급증하고 있다. 이와 같은 구조물에서 케이블이 미치는 영향은 매우 크며, 구조해석을 위해서 케이블에 대한 연구 및 케이블의 모드 특성에 따른 구조계의 변화를 연구해 볼 필요가 있다. 특히, 케이블은 거더에 가해지는 하중효과를 주탑으로 전달하는 캠버조절과 직결되고 전체 구조에서 중요한 부재로서, 가설시 가해지는 초기 장력과 시간이 경과후 장력을 비교하므로서 교량의 노후상태와 이상유무를 파악하는 데 기여하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 충격해머를 통한 모드 해석으로부터 케이블의 질량과 케이블의 길이변화에 따른 모드의 특성을 파악할 수 있었고, 공용중에 있는 케이블에서는 위상각의 변화가 비례관계임을 확인하였다. 또한 저차모드에서 지배모드가 결정되는 특성을 MAC분석을 통하여 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, wavelet finite element model (WFEM) updating technique is employed to detect sub-element damage in thin plate structures progressively. The procedure of WFEM-based detection method, which can detect sub-element damage gradually, is established. This method involves the optimization of an objective function that combines frequencies and modal assurance criteria (MAC). During the damage detection process, the scales of wavelet elements in the concerned regions are adaptively enhanced or reduced to remain compatible with the gradually identified damage scenarios, while the modal properties from the tests remains the same, i.e., no measurement point replacement or addition are needed. Numerical and experimental examples were conducted to examine the effectiveness of the proposed method. A scanning Doppler laser vibrometer system was employed to measure the plate mode shapes in the experimental study. The results indicate that the proposed method can detect structural damage with satisfactory accuracy by using minimal degrees-of-freedoms (DOFs) in the model and minimal updating parameters in optimization.

This study was performed 10 develop the accelerated life test method using Weibull-IPL(Inverse Power Law) model for mechanical components. Weibull-IPL model is concerned with determining the assurance life with confidence level and the accelerated life test time From the relation of weibull distribution factors and confidence limit, the testing times on the no number of failure acceptance criteria arc determined. The mechanical components generally represent wear and fatigue characteristics as a failure mode. IPL based on the cumulative damage theory is applied effectively the mechanical components to reduce the testing time and to achieve the accelerating test conditions. As the actual application example, accelerated life test method of agricultural tractor transmission was described. Life distribution of agricultural tractor transmission was supposed to follow Weibull distribution and life test time was calculated under the conditions of average life (MTBF) 3,000 hours and 90% confidence level for one test sample. According to IPL, because test time call be shorten in case increase test load test time could be reduced by 482 hours when we put the load 1.1 times of rated load than 0.73 times of rated load that is equivalent load calculated by load spectrum of the agricultural tractor. This time, acceleration coefficient was 11.7.

The paper presents modal testing and analysis in order to obtain the dynamic characteristics of a middle spacer grids of a nuclear fuel rod. A spacer grid is one of the important structural elements supporting nuclear fuel rods. Such a fuel rod can be oscillated by its thermal expansion, neutron irradiation and etc. due to cooling water flow under the operation of a nuclear power plant. When the fuel rod vibrates, fretting wear due to repeated friction motion between the fuel rods and spacer grids can be occurred, and so the fuel rod is damaged. In this paper, through modal analysis and testing, natural frequencies and modes of a middle spacer grid were calculated, and the following conclusions were obtained. Firstly the numerical first-seven natural frequencies for spacer grids of a fuel rod having complicated structures have a small difference within 3.8% with experimental natural frequencies, and so the suitability of simulation results was verified. Secondly, experimental mode shapes for a middle spacer grid of a nuclear fuel rod were verified by obtaining lower non-diagonal terms through MAC(Modal Assurance Criteria), and were confirmed by the simulation modes.
