The aim of the shaking table experiment is to verify the isolation effect of a storage liquid tank with multiple friction pendulum bearings. A 1:20 scale model of a real storage liquid tank that is widely used in the petroleum industry was examined by the shaking table test to compare its anchored base and isolated base. The seismic response of the tank was assessed by employing the time history input. The base acceleration, wave height and tank wall stress were used to evaluate the isolation effect. Finally, the influences of the bearing performance that characterizes the isolated tank, such as the friction force and residual displacement, were discussed.

Even if use ICS repeater in radio communication system, distance between Donor antenna and Service antenna though do much isolation degree must that shortcoming have. Proposed IP antenna to supplement this shortcoming in this paper. Result Doner antenna and isolation of Service antenna that measure through examination do 1.5m and when did direction 180 degree, Isolation confirmed that is measured 110dB. Confirmed that can unuse ICS repeater through this result and service by general RF repeater.

This paper proposes a composite fault detection and isolation method by combining the parameter estimation method[1] with the observer-based method[2] to take advantages of both methods. Some properties of the parameter estimation method and the observer-based method are revieved, and the composite algorithm is presented. To exemplify the performance of the method proposed, some simulations applied to remotely piloted vehicle are performed.

Commonly used SAW duplexers have a difficulty on manufacture so that a transmission line is printed on the package or an LTCC multi-layer is needed because a quarter-wave transmission line which is a kind of an isolation network is applied to the SAW duplexers. In this study, new structures of one chip type SAW duplexers are proposed. In the proposed structure, Tx and Rx SAW ladder filters and isolation networks are located on a single 36LiTaO$_3$ piezoelectric substrate. The manufacture process is very simple than commonly used product. It is possible to improve tile performance by means of optimizing the micro-strip line lumped elements. It is easy to integrate and modulate with other surrounding components. The optimal design techniques can be applied to other kind of multi-port devices.

The schematic design process is formulated to develop the vibroisolating rubber mount in optical disc drives. The dynamic model of vibration isolation system is established by using a rigid body with 6 degree of freedom and linear springs with damping property. Considering the practical vibration condition of DVDP(Digital Versatile Disk Player), the required properties of vibroisolating rubber mounts are investigated. Also finite element model of a vibroisolating rubber mount is used to obtain shape design concept and identify the characteristics of a rubber mount which satisfies the required properties from previous design stage. Finally the evaluation method of dynamic properties of vibroisolating rubber mounts is established by utilizing modal test method. Based on the developed process, vibroisolating rubber mounts with a good performance have been developed.

Major equipment of combat vessels normally require the shock and vibration isolation to maintain its performance against environments of severe vibration and shock. In this paper, an optimal layout design method of resilient mounts for shock and vibration isolation is presented using simulated annealing optimization method. The reference levels of vibration and shock to isolate shipboard equipment are determined from the MIL-STD-167-1 and MIL-S-901 specifications. Through the numerical application, the validity of the presented method is investigated.

The base-isolation technology is to set up LRB between the base of a building and the ground to protect the building from seismic force. As Korea belongs to the region of moderate or weak seismicity it is more resonable to apply the base-isolation technology of LRB in the field of the response reduction of equipments under machine or transportation vibrations than in the field of seismic response reduction of buildings, In this paper small-scale LRB's designed for the response reduction of equipments are manufactured and tested for thier performance. The shaking table test is conducted to analyze the characteristics of LRB such as the variation of natural frequencies damping ratios and equipments responses.

In this paper, the seismic response of elevated broad and slender liquid storage tanks isolated by elastomeric or sliding bearings was investigated. The accuracy of predictions of SAP2000 vs. 3D-BASIS-ME programs was examined. A comparative study of the performance of base isolated tanks when isolation bearings are placed at the top or at the bottom of the supporting tower structure was conducted. It was found that base isolation is quite effective in reducing the earthquake response of elevated liquid storage tanks in which high reductions of base shear and shaft displacement were achieved. Modeling the isolated tanks in SAP2000 was very successful in producing results that are nearly identical to those of program 3D-BASIS-ME. Placing the isolators at the top of the shaft in elevated tanks proved to be much better than placing them at the bottom.

In this paper, we propose a substrate integrated waveguide(SIW) power divider to yield excellent broadband isolation performance. In order to achieve high broadband isolation, a two stage Wilkinson power divider is employed in SIW. The measurement results show the insertion loss($S_{21}$, $S_{31}$ to be $4.0{\pm}0.5$ dB) and input return loss($S_{11}$ of 10 dB) from 13.12 GHz to 16.14 GHz. Moreover, the results show that the output return loss and isolation between output ports are larger than 10 dB between 10.37 GHz and 17.64 GHz.

This paper presents design and simulation of wide band RF microswitch that uses electrostatic actuation for its operation. RF MEMS devices exhibit superior high frequency performance in comparison to conventional devices. Similar techniques that are used in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) can be employed to design and fabricate MEMS devices and traditional batch-processing methods can be used for its manufacturing. The proposed switch presents a novel design approach to handle reliability concerns in MEMS switches like dielectric charging effect, micro welding and stiction. The shape has been optimized at actuation voltage of 14-16 V. The switch has an improved restoring force of 20.8 μN. The design of the proposed switch is very elemental and primarily composed of electrostatic actuator, a bridge membrane and coplanar waveguide which are suspended over the substrate. The simple design of the switch makes it easy for fabrication. Typical insertion and isolation of the switch at 1 GHz is -0.03 dB and -71 dB and at 85 GHz it is -0.24 dB and -29.8 dB respectively. The isolation remains more than - 20 db even after 120 GHz. To our knowledge this is the first demonstration of a metal contact switch that shows such a high and sustained isolation and performance at W-band frequencies with an excellent figure-of merit (fc=1/2.pi.Ron.Cu =1,900 GHz). This figure of merit is significantly greater than electronic switching devices. The switch would find extensive application in wideband operations and areas where reliability is a major concern.
