본 논문에서는 변위응답 및 가속도 응답의 저감 효과에 있어서, 유리한 형상인 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형(Helical $180^{\circ}$) 초고층건물을 대상으로 풍진동실험을 수행하여 나선형 초고층건물의 공력불안정 진동 특성 및 공력감쇠 특성을 조사하였고, 정방형 초고층건물의 결과와 비교분석 하였다. 본 연구에서의 공력감쇠율은 RD법(random decrement technique)을 이용하여 평가하였다. RD법에 의해 평가된 공력감쇠율은 기존문헌 및 준정상가정이론 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 실험결과, 공력진동 실험결과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형모형의 풍직각방향에 대한 공력불안정 진동은 발생하지 않는 것이 확인되었다. 정방형과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 형상에 대한 공력감쇠율을 살펴보면, X방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 무차원 풍속이 증가와 비례하여 점진적으로 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 반면, Y방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 정방형모형과 매우 다른 양상이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The identification of damping ratios in buildings is a well-known problem and appears to be of important and crucial interest in the safety and serviceability design. When compared to an estimation of the stiffness, i.e. natural frequency, and mass, the damping ratio is the most difficult quantity to determine. Many previous studies have examined the characteristics of damping ratios from ambient vibration, but the measurement time is roughly within 2 hours. In this paper, characteristics of damping ratios and natural frequencies of 4 story RC building were investigated using long-term ambient vibration. Free vibrations were obtained using random decrement technique, and damping ratios were evaluated by the envelop function, continuous wavelet transform, and logarithmic decrement. It was found that although the natural frequencies show little variations with time, the damping ratios show some variations with time and the largest variations found in the damping ratios obtained from the continuous wavelet transform. The damping ratios from the envelop function showed the smallest mean and standard deviation. And the probability distribution of damping ratios seems to follow the logarithmic normal distribution.

In this paper, we propose a new blind image watermarking method in wavelet domain. It is necessary to find out watermark insertion location in blind watermark. We use horizontal and vertical difference of LL components to select watermark insertion location, because increment or decrement of successive components is rarely changed in LL band. A pseudo-random sequence is used as a watermark. Experimental results show that the proposed method is robust to various kinds of attacks such as JPEG lossy compression, averaging, median filtering, resizing, histogram equalization, and additive Gaussian noise.

To understand the dynamic characteristics of the vessel with hydroelastic response, it is very important to estimate the dynamic modal parameters such as mode shapes, natural frequency, and damping ratio. These dynamic modal parameters of full scale ship are a priori unknowns, hence to be estimated directly based upon the full scale measurement data. In this paper, dynamic modal parameters were extracted by signal processing of acceleration and strain data measured from a large container ship whose loading capacity is 9400TEU. The mode shapes of the vibrating hull were identified using the proper orthogonal decomposition and the vibration response of hull was decomposed into its modal magnitudes. Natural frequencies of specific modes were derived via Fourier transform of these modal magnitude. Also, the free decay signal of the vibrating hull was obtained through the random decrement technique and the damping ratio was estimated with accuracy.

The paper is concerned with the numerical study of the cross-wind response of the 295 m-tall six-flue industrial chimney, located in the power station of Belchatow, Poland. The response of the chimney due to turbulent wind flow is caused by the lateral turbulence component and vortex excitation with taking into account motion-induced wind forces. The cross-wind response has been estimated by means of the random vibration approach. Three power spectral density functions suggested by Kaimal, Tieleman and Solari for the evaluation of the lateral turbulence component response are taken into account. The vortex excitation response has been calculated by means of the Vickery and Basu's model including some complements. Motion-induced wind forces acting on a vibrating chimney have been modeled as a nonlinear aerodynamic damping force. The influence of three components mentioned above on the total cross-wind response of the chimney has been investigated. Moreover, the influence of damping ratios, evaluated by Multi-mode Random Decrement Technique, and number of mode shapes of the chimney have been examined. Computer programmes have been developed to obtain responses of the chimney. The numerical results and their comparison are presented.

본 연구에서는 변위 및 가속도 응답의 저감 효과에 있어서, 유리한 형상인 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형(Helical $180^{\circ}$) 초고층건물을 대상으로 공력진동실험 수행하여 나선형 초고층건물의 공력감쇠율의 특성을 조사하였다. 공력감쇠율은 RD법(Random decrement technique)을 이용하여 평가하였다. 또한 RD법에서 부분 샘플의 개수와 초기 조건 값의 변화가 공력감쇠율에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 최소 2000개 이상의 부분 샘플을 이용하여 앙상블 평균을 적용하면 공력감쇠율의 불규칙한 변동의 폭을 줄일 수 있음을 검증했고, 기존 연구들과도 잘 부합되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 정방형 모형과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 모형의 공력감쇠율의 결과를 살펴보면, 풍방향 공력감쇠율은 건물의 형상이 다름에도 불구하고 무차원 풍속에 따른 공력감쇠율은 매우 유사한 경향을 보였다. 한편, 정방형 모형에 대한 풍직각방향의 공력감쇠율은 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형모형의 공력감쇠율의 특성과는 다른 양상을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 풍향 변화에 따른 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 모형의 Y방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 풍향의 변화와 상관없이, 전반적으로 0에 가까운 값을 갖는 경향이 나타났고, 무차원 풍속의 증가와 함께 변동의 폭은 작지만 점진적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 초기 조건 값의 변화에 따른 공력감쇠율을 평가한 결과, 초기 조건 값을 "응답의 표준편차" 또는 RD 함수에 대한 최적화 "${\sqrt{2}}{\times}$응답의 표준 편차"를 적용하여 평가한 공력감쇠율은 매우 유사한 결과 값과 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents intermediate results of an on-going research for identification of the modal and the stiffness parameters of a bridge based on the ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The main algorithms consist of the random decrement method incorporating band-pass filters for estimation of the free vibration signals the cross spectral density method for identification of the modal parameters and the neural networks technique for estimation of the element-level stiffness changes. An experimental study is carried out on a scaled bridge model with a composite section subjected to various moving vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations are measured at several locations on the girder. The estimated frequencies and mode shapes are found to be well-compared with those obtained from the impact tests. The estimated stiffness changes using the neural networks are found to be very good for the case with the simulated data. However the accuracy is found to be not quite satisfactory for the case with the experimental data particularly for the small value of the stiffness changes.

Damage estimation of a bridge structure is presented using ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The procedure consists of identification of the modal properties and assessment of the damage locations and severities. An experimental study is carried out on the bridge model subjected to vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations of the bridge deck are measured at a limited number of locations. The modal parameters are identified from the free vibration signals extracted using the random decrement method. Then, the damage assessment is carried out based on the estimated modal parameters using the neural networks technique. The identified damage locations and severities agree reasonably well with the inflicted damages on the structure.

Dynamic vibration absorbers (DVAs) in the form of tuned sloshing dampers (TSDs) and tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are commonly used to reduce the wind-induced motion of high-rise buildings. Full-scale performance of structure-DVA systems must be evaluated during the DVA commissioning process using structural monitoring data. While the random decrement technique (RDT) is sometimes employed to evaluate the DVA performance, it is shown to have no theoretical justification for application to structure-DVA systems, and to produce erroneous results. Subsequently, several practical methods with a sound theoretical basis are presented and illustrated using simulated and real-world data. By monitoring the responses of the structure and DVA simultaneously, it is possible to directly measure the effective damping of the system or perform system identification from which the DVA performance can be evaluated.

The Yingxian wooden tower in China is currently the tallest wooden tower in the world. It was built in 1056 AD and is 65.86 m high. Field measurements of wind speed and wind-induced response of this tower are conducted. The wind characteristics, including the average wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral length scale and velocity spectrum are investigated. The power spectral density and the root-mean-square wind-induced acceleration are analyzed. The structural modal parameters of this tower are identified with two different methods, including the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) combined with the Random Decrement Technique (RDT) and Hilbert transform technique, and the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method. Results show that strong wind is coming predominantly from the West-South of the tower which is in the same direction as the inclination of the structure. The Von Karman spectrum can describe the spectrum of wind speed well. Wind-induced torsional vibration obviously occurs in this tower. The natural frequencies identified by EMD, RDT and Hilbert Transform are close to those identified by SSI method, but there is obvious difference between the identified damping ratios for the first two modes.
