This study reviews concepts, theories and formulas included in standards on soil-structure interaction and also shows practical example of application for engineers. Real structures are 3 dimensional and multi degree of freedom but they are often idealized to single degree of freedom for convenience. In this study, detailed procedures to calculate soil spring constants and damping coefficients and method to model soil-structure system are explained. Additionally, case studies to judge fixed base condition and evaluation of applicability of simple analysis method based on response spectra are performed.

Current codes incorporate simplified methods for the prediction of acceleration demands on secondary structural and non-structural elements at different levels of a building. While the use of simple analysis methods should be advocated, damage to both secondary structural and non-structural elements in recent earthquakes have highlighted the need for improved design procedures for such elements. In order to take a step towards the formation of accurate but simplified methods of predicting floor spectra, this work examines the floor spectra on elastic and inelastic single-degree of freedom systems subject to accelerograms of varying seismic intensity. After identifying the factors that appear to affect the shape and intensity of acceleration demands on secondary structural and non-structural elements, a new series of calibrated equations are proposed to predict floor spectra on single degree of freedom supporting structures. The approach uses concepts of dynamics and inelasticity to define the shape and intensity of the floor spectra at different levels of damping. The results of non-linear time-history analyses of a series of single-degree of freedom supporting structures indicate that the new methodology is very promising. Future research will aim to extend the methodology to multi-degree of freedom supporting structures and run additional verification studies.

다자유도 시스템의 내진 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 반복적인 비선형 시간 이력 해석이 필요하며 이를 위해 많은 계산과정과 노력이 필요하다. 이와 같이 해석에 따르는 어려움을 보완하기 위해 복잡한 다자유도 시스템을 반영할 수 있는 등가 단자유도 시스템을 개발하였다. 등가 단자유도의 이력 모델로는 일반적으로 이선형 모델과 삼선형 모델이 사용된다. 이러한 모델은 탄성 거동 이후 음강성을 가질 수 있도록 하여 지진 발생 시 중력하중에 의한 발생되는 효과를 반영하기 위해서이다. 본 연구에서는 철골모멘트 골조의 실제 응답을 예측하기 위하여 이러한 이력 모델들로 거동하는 등가단자유도 시스템의 필요조건에 대하여 평가하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 로스엔젤레스 지역의 SAC 9층 모멘트 저항 골조를 비선형 다자유도 시스템과 등가단자유도 시스템으로 모델링하여 반복하중 푸쉬오버 해석, 비선형 시간 이력해석 및 IDA(Incremental Dynamic Analysis)를 수행하여 비교 검토하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 강도저감 모델에 대해서도 평가를 수행하였다.

The capacity spectrum method(CSM) can be used for the evaluation of inelastic maximum response of structures and has been recently used in the seismic design using the incorporation of pushover analysis and response spectrum method. To efficiently evaluate seismic performance of multi-degree-of freedom(MDOF) bridge structures, it is important that the equivalent response of MDOF bridge structures should be calculated. To calculate the equivalent response of MDOF system, equivalent responses are obtained by using Song method, Fajfar method and Calvi method. Also, those responses are applied to CSM method and seismic performance of bridge according to the ESDOF method are compared and evaluated straightforwardly.

This paper describes a method for developing a multi-degree-of freedom aero-elasto-plastic model of a base-isolated mid-rise building. The horizontal stiffness of isolators is modeled by several tension springs and the vertical support is performed by air pressure from a compressor. A lead damper and a steel damper are modeled by a U-shaped lead line and an aluminum line. With this model, the frequency ratio of torsional vibration to sway vibration, and plastic displacements of isolation materials can be changed easily when needed. The results of isolation material tests and free vibration tests show that this model provides the object performance. The peak displacement factors are about 4.5 regardless of wind speed in wind tunnel tests, but their gust response factor decreases with increment of wind speed.

The spherical motor is very valuable actuator, because the motor can operate as multi-degree of freedom rotation. Especially, the motor is useful machine for robot's joint by reason of high efficiency, compact size, high power, precise control, etc. These characteristics of spherical motor have to require continuously research. Therefore, in this paper, two different types of spherical motor are compared and double-airgap spherical motor as novel stucture is introduced.

In this paper, nonlinear vibration of multi-degree of freedom systems are studied. It has been tried to develop the mathematical model of systems by second-order nonlinear partial differential equations. The masses are connected with linear and nonlinear springs in series. A great effort has been done to solve the nonlinear governing equations analytically. A new analytical method called Variational Iteration Method (VIM) is proposed and successfully applied to the problem. The linear and nonlinear frequencies are obtained and the results are compared with numerical solutions. The first order of Variational Iteration Method (VIM) leads us to high accurate solution.

In energy-based design, the structures are generally transformed into equivalent SDOF systems to obtain the input and the dissipated energy. In this study the energy demands in multi-story structures were compared with that of equivalent single degree of freedom systems to validate the transformation method. Three-, eight-, and twenty-story steel moment-resisting frames and buckling restrained braced frames are compared with those of equivalent single degree of freedom systems. Sixty earthquake ground motions recorded in different soil conditions were used to compute the input and hysteretic energy demands in model structures. According to the analysis results, in 3 and 8-story structures the hysteretic energy demands computed in the equivalent SDOF structures are compatible with those computed in the original MDOF structures, while in the 20-story structures the transformed equivalent structures underestimated the hysteretic energy demands.

This paper describes the experimental framework for the control system design and validation of a rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Our approach follows the general procedure of nonlinear modeling, linear controller design, nonlinear simulation and flight test but uses an indoor-installed multi-camera system, which can provide full 6-degree of freedom (DOF) navigation information with high accuracy, to overcome the limitation of an outdoor flight experiment. In addition, a 3-DOF flying mill is used for the performance validation of the attitude control, which considers the characteristics of the multi-rotor type rotorcraft UAV. Our framework is applied to the design and mathematical modeling of the control system for a quad-rotor UAV, which was selected as the test-bed vehicle, and the controller design using the classical proportional-integral-derivative control method is explained. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach can be viewed as a successful tool in developing the controller of new rotorcraft UAVs with reduced cost and time.

현가장치에 적용 가능한 공진형 선형 발전시스템은 차량이 노면을 주행 시 발생되는 진동에너지를 수집하여 자가 발전기능을 수행하는 시스템으로써, 작은 노면 진동을 증폭하여 큰 발전량을 유도하기 위해 공진 현상을 적용하였다. 시스템의 진동변위 해석을 통해 세 가지의 각기 다른 발전기 아마튜어의 동적 거동을 시뮬레이션하였고, 이를 전자기 유한요소해석을 통해 실제 발전량을 계산 및 비교분석 하였다. 또한, 차량 노면주행 시, 다양한 가진 주파수에 공진현상을 적용하기 위해 발전기 아마튜어의 수를 증가시키는 다자유도 발전기로의 설계 개선을 수행하여 공진 점의 변화를 확인하고 이에 따른 발전량의 변화를 확인하였다. 최종적으로 동일한 제한조건(설치공간)하에서 약 35% 축소된 아마튜어를 설계하여 이전 대비, 1Hz 및 4Hz 가진환경에서 8.5 %, 13.8 % 감소하였고, 15 Hz의 가진 환경에서는 14.7 %의 증가 현상을 확인하였다.
