NiTi-wire shape memory alloy (SMA) dampers, that utilize NiTi SMA wires to simultaneously damp tension, compression and torsion, was developed for structural control implementation in this study. First, eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers were constructed. Then tension, compression and torsion experiments using the eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers of different specification were done. The experimental results revealed all of the eight reduced-scale NiTi-wire SMA dampers had the ability to simultaneously supply tension-compression damping and torsion damping. Finally, mechanics analysis of the NiTi-wire SMA dampers was done based on a model of the SMA-wire restoring force and on tension-compression and torsion damping analysis. The damping analytical results were found to be similar to the damping experimental results.

The Brace-Type Shear Fuse (BSF) device is a newly proposed steel damper with excellent cumulative ductility and stable energy dissipation. In consideration of the current situation where there are not many alternatives for transversal seismic devices used in long-span three-tower self-anchored bridges (TSSBs), this paper implements improved BSFs into the world's longest TSSB, named Jinan Fenghuang Yellow River Bridge. The new details of the BSF are developed for the TSSB, and the force-displacement hysteretic curves of the BSFs are obtained using finite element (FE) simulations. A three-dimensional refined finite element model for the research TSSB was established in SAP2000, and the effects of BSFs on dynamic characteristics and seismic response of the TSSB under different site conditions were investigated by the numerical simulation method. The results show that remarkable controlling effects of BSFs on seismic response of TSSBs under different site conditions were obtained. Compared with the case without BSFs, the TSSB installed with BSFs has mitigation ratios of the tower top displacement, lateral girder displacement, tower bending moment and tower shear force exceeding 95%, 78%, 330% and 346%, respectively. Meanwhile, BSFs have a sufficient restoring force mechanism with a minor post-earthquake residual displacement. The proposed BSFs exhibit good application prospects in long-span TSSBs.

본 연구에서는 MR(Magneto-Reological)제어기가 설치된 단자유도 구조물의 응답을 예측하기 위하여 구조물의 운동방정식을 해석적으로 분석하고 주요변수를 파악하였다. MR제어기의 수치 모델로는 마찰 및 점성감쇠로 단순모델한 Bingham모델을 사용하였다. 자유진동과 조화진동일때의 응답감쇠를 결정짓는 주요변수가 각각 마찰력과 최대정적복원력의 비 $R_f$, 마찰력과 최대조화가진력의 비 $R_h$ 임을 파악하였다. 비선형 미분방정식을 등가의 선형 미분방정식으로 변환하기 위하여 마찰력에 의한 에너지 소산을 등가의 점성에너지로 치환하여 등가점성감쇠와 등가점성감쇠비를 유도하였다. 마지막으로 등가선형화과정을 검증하기 위하여 실제 지진에 대한 구조물의 응답을 비선형 미분방정식의 해와 비교하였다.

A semi-active algorithm for edgewise vibration control of the spar-type floating offshore wind turbine (SFOWT) blades, nacelle and spar platform is developed in this paper. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is placed in each blade, in the nacelle and on the spar to control the vibrations for these components. A Short Time Fourier Transform algorithm is used for semi-active control of the TMDs. The mathematical formulation of the integrated SFOWT-TMDs system is derived by using Euler-Lagrangian equations. The theoretical model derived is a time-varying system considering the aerodynamic properties of the blade, variable mass and stiffness per unit length, gravity, the interactions among the blades, nacelle, spar, mooring system and the TMDs, the hydrodynamic effects, the restoring moment and the buoyancy force. The aerodynamic loads on the nacelle and the spar due to their coupling with the blades are also considered. The effectiveness of the semi-active TMDs is investigated in the numerical examples where the mooring cable tension, rotor speed and the blade stiffness are varying over time. Except for excessively large strokes of the nacelle TMD, the semi-active algorithm is considerably more effective than the passive one in all cases and its effectiveness is restricted by the low-frequency nature of the nacelle and the spar responses.

Based on the change of traditional viscoelastic damper structure, a brand-new damper is designed to control simultaneously the translational vibration and the rotational vibration for platforms. Experimental study has been carried out on the mechanical properties of viscoelastic material and on its multi-dimensional seismic response control effect of viscoelastic damper. Three types of viscoelastic dampers with different shapes of viscoelastic material are designed to test the influence of excited frequency, strain amplitude and ambient temperature on the mechanical property parameters such as circular dissipation per unit, equivalent stiffness, loss factor and storage shear modulus. Then, shaking table tests are done on a group of single-storey platform systems containing one symmetric platform and three asymmetric platforms with different eccentric forms. Experimental results show that the simulation precision of the restoring force model is rather good for the shear deformation of viscoelastic damper and is also satisfied for the torsion deformation and combined deformations of viscoelastic damper. The shaking table tests have verified that the new-type viscoelastic damper is capable of mitigating the multi-dimensional seismic response of offshore platform.

In this paper, we study a problem of passive suppression of helicopter Ground Resonance (GR) using a single degree freedom Nonlinear Energy Sink (NES), GR is a dynamic instability involving the coupling of the blades motion in the rotational plane (i.e. the lag motion) and the helicopter fuselage motion. A reduced linear system reproducing GR instability is used. It is obtained using successively Coleman transformation and binormal transformation. The analysis of the steadystate responses of this model is performed when a NES is attached on the helicopter fuselage. The NES involves an essential cubic restoring force and a linear damping force. The analysis is achieved applying complexification-averaging method. The resulting slow-flow model is finally analyzed using multiple scale approach. Four steady-state responses corresponding to complete suppression, partial suppression through strongly modulated response, partial suppression through periodic response and no suppression of the GR are highlighted. An algorithm based on simple criterions is developed to predict these steady-state response regimes. Numerical simulations of the complete system confirm this analysis of the slow-flow dynamics. A parametric analysis of the influence of the NES damping coefficient and the rotor speed on the response regime is finally proposed.

In this paper, peliminary design procedure of magnetorheological (MR) dampers is developed for controlling the building response induced by seismic excitation. Hysteretic biviscous model which is simple and can describe the hysteretic characteristics of MR damper is used for parametric studies. The capacity of MR damper is determined as a portion of not the building weight but the lateral restoring force. A method is proposed for the optimal placement and number of MR dampers, and its effectiveness is verified by comparing it with the simplified search algorithm. Numerical results indicate that the capacity, number and the placement can be reasonably determined using the proposed design procedure.

풍력터빈 블레이드의 가변 피치제어는 풍력발전기의 과풍속 영역 설계에 있어 중요한 요소로 알려져 있으나 원가문제 때문에 소형 풍력터빈에는 적용되지 못하고 실속제어가 많이 적용되고 있다. 하지만, 블레이드 주변의 난류 때문에 설계된 실속이 구현되지 않는 실속지연 현상이 종종 발생되고, 이에 따른 풍력 블레이드의 과회전과 발전기의 과출력 위험이 발생하고 있다. 이에 따라 블레이드에서 발생되는 공력으로 피치가 변하고 스프링의 복원력으로 복귀되는 수동형 피치제어 모듈이 주목 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 회전하는 블레이드의 익형에서 발생되는 양력과 항력을 이용하여 회전면으로 작용되는 토크와 블레이드의 Flap 방향으로 작용되는 추력을 계산하는 방법을 제시하고, 이러한 힘들의 크기를 여러 가지 익형에 대해 비교하였으며, 블레이드의 피치모멘트를 정량적으로 산출하여 수동 피치제어 모듈의 설계자료로 활용될 수 있도록 하였다.

본 논문에서는 시험선 $\ulcorner$나래$\lrcorner$에 적용된 자세 제어 기술 및 그 실해역 시험 결과를 보이고자 한다. $\ulcorner$나래$\lrcorner$는 하부 몰수체와 그에 부착된 제어판을 이용하여 선체를 일정량 부상시키는 복합 지지선형을 채택하여 건조된 선박으로서, 본 연구원의 자체 설계를 거쳐 건조된 유인 시험선이다. 이러한 선형의 선박은 부상 상태에서 Heave, Pitch Roll의 3자유도에 대해 복원력이 거의 작용하지 않기 때문에 정적 불안정성을 가지며, 그에 따라 자세 제어 시스템이 필수적으로 요구된다. 시험선 $\ulcorner$나래$\lrcorner$에는 제어판 구동을 위한 유압 구동 장치 및 선체 운동의 계측을 위한 각종 계측 장비가 설치되었다. 제어기로는 PID 제어기가 사용되었으며, 실시간 제어를 위해 Pentium급 산업용 PC가 탑재되었다. 약 3개월 여에 걸쳐 부상 시험 및 조종 시험을 포함한 실해역 시험이 수행되었으며, 만족스런 제어 성능이 발휘됨을 확인하였다.

This study aims to evaluate the color stability and surface roughness of the single-shade composite resin after finishing and polishing for primary molars. A single-shade composite resin (OM, OMNICHROMA) and two multi-shade composite resins (FT, Filtek^TM Z350XT; ES, ESTELITE^® SIGMA QUICK) were included. The specimens were divided into three subgroups using different polishing methods: control, Sof-Lex XT, and Sof-Lex Diamond. For color stability tests, cavities were prepared on extracted primary second molars and restored with experimental composite resins. Each specimen was immersed in the coffee solution for 48 hours. The color difference of each specimen was calculated. For surface roughness tests, cylindrical specimens were crafted with experimental composite resins. Surface roughness was analyzed using an atomic force microscope and a scanning electron microscope. In the color stability tests, FT demonstrated a significantly lower ΔE_ab than ES among the control groups, but no significant differences were observed between the ΔE_ab values of OM and FT or OM and ES. Additionally, no significant differences were found between the Sof-Lex XT and Sof-Lex Diamond subgroups in the three composite groups. Moreover, no significant differences in the surface roughness were found between the three composite groups, regardless of the polishing methods. The single-shade composite resin demonstrated comparable color stability and surface roughness to that of the multi-shade composite resins regardless of the polishing methods used in restoring primary molars. The single-shade composite resin is expected to be applicable in clinical pediatric dentistry reducing chair time due to the easy shade matching procedures.
