본 연구는 지진격리장치가 적용된 파이핑 시스템에서 빌딩과 같은 구조요소의 상호작용에 의한 동적 거동을 분석하고자 기존 복층구조 파이핑 시스템과 빌딩시스템에 triple friction pendulum이 적용된 격리장치를 적용 하였다. 파이핑 시스템의 시간이력해석에 의한 동적거동 평가를 위해 OpenSees를 이용하여 지진격리된 빌딩 및 파이핑시스템의 수치해석모델을 구축하였으며, 또한 파이핑시스템의 경우 ceiling system and supporting system 등과 같은 요소로 구분하여 유한요소모델을 구축하였다. 결과적으로 지진격리장치가 적용된 빌딩-파이핑 시스템의 경우 각층의 drift 및 변위가 일정한 반면 비 적용된 시스템의 경우 층 가속도에 의한 구조물의 변위가 빌딩층에 따라 상당히 증가함을 볼 수 있다.

Purpose: The evaluation of seismic performance of critical structures has been emerging a key issue in Korea, since a magnitude 5.8 earthquake, the worst in Koran history, struck Gyeongju, southern area in Korea on september 12th, 2016. In particular, the catastrophic failure of nonstructural components such as sprinkler piping systems can cause significant economic loss or loss of life during and after an earthquake. The nonstructural components can be more fragile than structural components in seismic behavior. Method: This study presents the seismic performance evaluation of fire protection piping system, using coupled building-piping system installed with Triple Friction Pendulum Bearings (TPBs). Kobe (Japan), Kocaeli (Turkey), and GyeongJu (Korea) were selected to consider the uncertainty of ground motions in this study. Result: In the simulation results, it was observed that the reduction of maximum displacements of the piping system with the TPBs' system was significant: Kobe, Kocaeli, and Gyeongju cases were 49%, 14.4% and 21.5%, respectively. Conclusion: Therefore, using seismically isolated system in a building-piping system can be more effective to reduce the seismic risk than a normally installed building-piping systems without TPBs in strong earthquakes.

Seismic performances of the base isolated model of Five Story Stone Pagoda were studied through shaking table tests. Friction pendulum system (FPS), Pure-friction system with laminated rubber bearing (LRB) and Ball with rubber bearing were selected fur the comparison of performances. Performances of specially designed isolation systems were tested dynamically using shaking table. The test results of isolated model are compared with those of fixed base model. Compared with fixed base model, the isolated model showed that it could withstand much higer intensity of earthquake motion. The Effective Peak Ground Acceleration (EPGA) value of isolated model when the top component tipped over was above twice of that value in case of fixed base model. According to the additional test results, the lower value of coefficient of friction than that of common frictional base isolation systems is more effective to protect the piled multi-block system of Pagoda against moderate intesity of ground motion.

A two-wheeled balancing mobile robot (TWBMR) has the characteristics of both nonlinear and underactuated system. In this paper, the disturbances acting on a TWBMR are classified into body disturbance and wheel disturbance. Additionally, we describe a nonlinear disturbance observer, which is suitable as a single input multi-output (SIMO) system for the longitudinal motion of TWBMR. Finally, we propose a reasonable disturbance compensation technique that combines the indirect reference input of equilibrium point and the direct torque compensation input. Simulations and experimental results show that the proposed disturbance compensation method is an effective way to achieve robust postural stability, specifically on inclined terrains.

This paper considers reinforcement learning control with the self-organizing map. Reinforcement learning uses the observable states of objective system and signals from interaction of the system and environment as input data. For fast learning in neural network training, it is necessary to reduce learning data. In this paper, we use the self-organizing map to partition the observable states. Partitioning states reduces the number of learning data which is used for training neural networks. And neural dynamic programming design method is used for the controller. For evaluating the designed reinforcement learning controller, an inverted pendulum on the cart system is simulated. The designed controller is composed of serial connection of self-organizing map and two Multi-layer Feed-Forward Neural Networks.

The controller that can control the smart base isolation system consisting of M damper and friction pendulum systems(FPS) is developed in this study. A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is used to modulate the M damper force because the FLC has an inherent robustness and ability to handle non-linearities and uncertainties. A genetic algorithm (GA) is used for optimization of the FLC. When earthquake excitations are applied to the structures equipped with smart base isolation system, the relative displacement at the isolation level as well as the acceleration of the structure should be regulated under appropriate level. Thus, NSGA-II(Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm) is employed in this study as a multi-objective genetic algorithm to meet more than two control objectives, simultaneously. NSGA-II is used to determine appropriate fuzzy control rules as well to adjust parameters of the membership functions. Effectiveness of the proposed method for optimal design of the FLC is judged based on computed responses to several historical earthquakes. It has been shown that the proposed method can efficiently find Pareto optimal sets that can reduce both structural acceleration and base drift from numerical studies.

This paper presents a robust optimal design method for a periodic structure type of MEMS resonator that is vulnerable to mode localization. The robust configuration of such a MEMS resonator to fabrication error is implemented by changing the regularity of periodic structure. For the mathematical convenience, the MEMS resonator is first modeled as a multi pendulum system. The index representing the measure of mode variation is then introduced using the perturbation method and the concept of modal assurance criterion. Finally, the optimal intentional mistuning, minimizing the expectation of the irregularity measure for each substructure, is determined for the normal distributed fabrication error and its robustness in the design of MEMS resonator to the fabrication error is demonstrated with numerical examples.

In this paper, we consider multi-objective synthesis of fuzzy controllers for a widely used special class of the Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy systems. We propose a new fuzzy controller utilizing the strategy of rescaling and show that synthesis of the proposed controllers satisfying multiple design objectives can be reduced to a simple linear matrix inequality(LMI) problem. Finally, an application to an inverted pendulum on a cart is presented to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

Pyrotechnic separation devices have been widely used as holding and release mechanism for deployable appendage. However, pyro-shock can cause temporal or permanent damage on shock sensitive components such as electronics, mechanism, and brittle components. This study proposed a low-stiffness blade based passive shock absorber using a multi-layered stiffener laminated with viscoelastic acrylic tapes for reducing transmitted pyro-shock upon explosion of pyrotechnic separation devices. The multi-layered structure with viscoelastic tape has high-damping characteristics to effectively secure structural integrity of low-stiffness blades under the launch environment. The design effectiveness was verified through a shock test by dropping a pendulum. The structural integrity of the shock absorber under a launch environment was evaluated through structural analysis under load conditions with a deployable payload.
