It is well known that the incidence angle of seismic excitation has an influence on the structural response of buildings, and this effect can be more significant in the case of near-fault signals. However, current seismic codes do not include detailed requirements regarding the direction of application of the seismic action and they have only recently introduced specific provisions about near-fault earthquakes. Thus, engineers have the task of evaluating all the relevant directions or the most critical conditions case by case, in order to avoid underestimating structural demand. To facilitate the identification of the most critical incidence angle, this paper presents a procedure which makes use of a two-degree of freedom model for representing a building. The proposed procedure makes it possible to avoid the extensive computational effort of multiple dynamic analyses with varying angles of incidence of ground motion excitation, which is required if a spatial multi-degree of freedom model is used for representing a building. The procedure is validated through the analysis of two case studies consisting of an eight- and a six-storey reinforced concrete frame building, selected as representative of existing structures located in Italy. A set of 124 near-fault ground motion records oriented along 8 incidence angles, varying from 0 to 180 degrees, with increments of 22.5 degrees, is used to excite the structures. Comparisons between the results obtained with detailed models of the two structures and the proposed procedure are used to show the accuracy of the latter in the prediction of the most critical angle of seismic incidence.

In this study, a generalized three-degree-of-freedom (3-DoF) analytical model is formulated to predict linear aerodynamic instabilities of a prism under quasi-steady (QS) conditions. The prism is assumed to possess a generic cross-section exposed to turbulent wind flow. The 3-DoFs encompass two orthogonal horizontal directions and rotation about the prism body axis. Inertial coupling is considered to account for the non-coincidence of the mass center and the rotation center. The aerodynamic force coefficients-drag, lift, and moment-depend on the Reynolds number based on relative flow velocity, angle of attack, and the angle between the wind and the cable. Aerodynamic forces are linearized with respect to the static equilibrium configuration and mean wind velocity. Routh-Hurwitz and Liénard and Chipart criteria are used in the eigenvalue problem, yielding an analytical solution for instabilities in galloping and static divergence types. Additionally, the minimum structural damping and stiffness required to prevent these instabilities are numerically determined. The proposed 3-DoF instability model is subsequently applied to a conductor with ice accretion and a full-scale dry inclined cable. In comparison to existing models, the developed model demonstrates superior prediction accuracy for unstable regions compared with results in wind tunnel tests.

Earthquake-induced pounding damages to building structures were repeatedly observed in many previous major earthquakes. Extensive researches have been carried out in this field. Previous studies mainly focused on the regular shaped buildings and each building was normally simplified as a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system or a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) system by assuming the masses of the building lumped at the floor levels. The researches on the pounding responses between irregular asymmetric buildings are rare. For the asymmetric buildings subjected to earthquake loading, torsional vibration modes of the structures are excited, which in turn may significantly change the structural responses. Moreover, contact element was normally used to consider the pounding phenomenon in previous studies, which may result in inaccurate estimations of the structural responses since this method is based on the point-to-point pounding assumption with the predetermined pounding locations. In reality, poundings may take place between any locations. In other words, the pounding locations cannot be predefined. To more realistically consider the arbitrary poundings between asymmetric structures, detailed three-dimensional (3D) finite element models (FEM) and arbitrary pounding algorithm are necessary. This paper carries out numerical simulations on the pounding responses between a symmetric rectangular-shaped building and an asymmetric L-shaped building by using the explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. The detailed 3D FEMs are developed and arbitrary 3D pounding locations between these two buildings under bi-directional earthquake ground motions are investigated. Special attention is paid to the relative locations of two adjacent buildings. The influences of the left-and-right, fore-and-aft relative locations and separation gap between the two buildings on the pounding responses are systematically investigated.

본 논문에서는 2축 자유도를 갖는 동조자이로 3개가 직교배치를 이루고 있는 관성항법 장치의 관성센서 고장검출기법에 대해 다루었다. 특히 동조자이로 고장특성을 고려하여 동조자이로 입력 축에 대한 고장 판단보다는 자이로 단위의 고장 판단을 수행하였으며, 보다 신뢰성 있는 고장 판단을 위해 검출할 고장 크기에 따른 개별 고장검출 모듈을 설정하였다. 큰 고장 감지는 현재 순간의 관성센서 정보만을 이용하는 방법을 이용하여 짧은 시간내에 고장판단이 가능하도록 하였으며, 작은 고장감지는 과거부터 현재까지 누적된 정보를 순차적으로 사용하여 고장판단에 소요되는 시간은 다소 길지만 보다 신뢰성 있는 고장정보를 제공하도록 하였다. 동조자이로 고장특성 및 고장 크기에 따른 개별 고장검출 모듈을 통해 성공적인 관성센서 고장검출이 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

개인정보 유출 사고를 불러일으키는 근거를 과학적으로 발굴해 보려는 연구는 아직까지 전무한 실정이다. 본 논문은 해킹을 통한 주민 정보 유출의 정도를 결정짓는 근거 요인을 찾아내기 위해 시도됐다. 연구의 중요도에 비추어 이를 위한 연구가 문헌상에 나타나지 않았던 점은 과학적인 연구방법론을 찾아내고 적용하기 곤란한 연구주제인 점에서 본 논문에서는 과학적 분석 모형을 제안하였고 그에 기반 한 분석 방법론을 개발하였다. 연구결과, 개인 식별에 동원되는 데이터의 경직성 요인이 유출 수위에 가장 결정적 역할을 하는 것으로 드러났다. 강도가 강할수록 해킹건수와 비례하는 것이 증명됐다. '주민 데이터 자유도' 개념을 정립함으로써 국가별 주민식별관련 주민 자유도 허용 순위를 결정할 수 있었다. 영국과 한국이 순위 열 양단에 위치하는 것으로 드러났으며 자유도 면에서 영국이 국민에게 가장 많은 자유를 허용하는 국가로, 또한 한국이 가장 좁은 의미의 자유를 허용하는 국가로 매겨졌다.

This paper gives a convenient parameterization for the clas of all stabilizing controllers in the presence of plant perturbation. The perturbations are constrained in such class as plants are stabilizable by a nominal controller. By using the controller stabilizing a given plant with perturbation, we can obtain a parametrization of all stable closed-loop transfer functions, which are affine in the free parameter of the controller. It is easy to extend the controller to the case of a two-degree-of-freedom controller.

It is shown, in nonlinear two-degree-of freedom system, that the bifurcating modes are created by the stability changes of normal modes. There are four types of stability criterion, each of which gives rise to a distinct functional form of bifurcating modes; the bifurcating mode is born in the form of eigenfunction through which the stability is changed. Then a procedure is formulated to compute the bifurcating mode by the method of harmonic balance. Application of bifurcating mode to forced vibrations is introduced.

This paper discusses the solution to the precise positioning control problem applied to a simple model of a dual stage or redundant positioner. The dual stage actuator presented here uses a VCM(Voice Coil Motor) as a coarse actuator and a piezoelectric actuator as a fine actuator. By adopting controllers with two-degree-of-freedom and by optimizing H$_{2}$ faster precise tracking can be realized. Experimental and numerical results are presented to demonstrate the control effects.

This paper describes the design theory of a weakly-coupled Tap-off with high density of coupling intervals for CATV and/or MATV systems, by which the degree of freedom in design and density of coupling intervals are significantly increased compared with the intrinsic one. It is also described how to construct the two-way divider (Tap-off) in the generalized type. Furthermore, the practical measurements of the frequency characteristics for a fabricated circuit show very good agreements with theoretical results.

In this paper, a new type of step motor with two degree of mechanical freedom, which is named rotary-Linear Step Motor(RLSM), is presented. Its rotor axis can perform linear and rotary motions either separately or simultaneously. This paper discribes the design of RLSM using finite element method in which the magnetic saturation effect of the iron core is taken into account. The design parameters such as torques, forces and inductances are obtained from the computed magnetic vector potentials. A new type of Rotary-Linear Step Motor was constructed. The calculated parameters agree well with measurements.
