An innovative multi-story Semi-Active Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) building system is proposed to control seismic response of existing structures. The application of adding new stories as large tuned mass and semi-active (SA) resettable actuators as central features of the control scheme is derived. For the effective control of the structures, the optimal tuning parameters are considered for the large mass ratio, for which a previously proposed equation is used and the practical optimal stiffness is allocated to the actuator stiffness and rubber bearing stiffness. A two-degree-of freedom (2-DOF) model is adopted to verify the principal efficiency of the suggested structural control concept. The simulations for this study utilizes the three ground motions, from SAC project, having probability of exceedance of 50% in 50 years, 10% in 50 years, and 2% in 50 years for the Los Angeles region. 12-story moment resisting frames, which are modified as '12+2' and '12+4' story structures, are investigated to assess the viability and effectiveness of the system that aims to reduce the response of the buildings to earthquakes. The control ability of the SATMD scheme is compared to that of an uncontrolled and an ideal Passive Tuned Mass Damper (PTMD) building system. From the performance results of suggested '12+2' and '12+4' story retrofitting case studies, SATMD systems shows significant promise for application of structural control where extra stories might be added.

위성용 분리장치는 작동 전까지는 높은 체결력으로 위성의 부속물들을 안정된 체결 상태로 유지해야 한다. 작동 후에는 위성시스템에 손상이 없이 위성본체로부터 분리되어 태양전지판과 안테나와 같은 부속장치의 전개를 성공적으로 수행하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 분리충격이 작고 취급이 용이하며 재장착이 가능한 형상기억합금구동기와 태엽스프링을 이용한 소형위성용 비폭발식 분리장치를 제안하였다. 성능을 검증하기 위하여 분리시간, 분리가 가능한 사전하중, 분리장치 작동 시 충격량 측정 실험을 수행하였다.
