LCVA has an advantage that its natural frequency can be easily controlled by changing the area ratio of the vertical column and horizontal part. The previous studies investigated the dynamic characteristics of the LCVA under harmonic load. This study experimentally obtained the first and second mode natural frequencies of the LCVA from shaking table tests using white noise and compared the values with the ones by previous study. Test results show that the measured first mode natural frequency of the LCVA is larger than the calculated one when the area ratio is larger than 1. The second mode frequency increases with the increasing area ratio, which is due to the sloshing motion effect resulting from the large area of the vertical column.

The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is increasingly being used as an economical and effective vibration absorber. It consists of a water tank having the fundamental sloshing fluid frequency tuned to the natural frequency of the structure. In order to perform efficiently, the TLD must possess a certain amount of inherent damping. This can be achieved by placing screens inside the tank. The current study experimentally investigates the behaviour of a TLD equipped with damping screens. A series of shake table tests are conducted in order to assess the effect of the screens on the free surface motion, the base shear forces and the amount of energy dissipated. The variation of these parameters with the level of excitation is also studied. Finally, an amplitude dependent equivalent tuned mass damper (TMD), representing the TLD, is determined based on the experimental results. The dynamic characteristics of this equivalent TMD, in terms of mass, stiffness and damping parameters are determined by energy equivalence. The above parameters are expressed in terms of the base excitation amplitude. The parameters are compared to those obtained using linear small amplitude wave theory. The validity of this nonlinear model is examined in the companion paper.

일반적으로 기계계 또는 기계요소가 외력을 받아 진동할 때 공진이 문제시 되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 계의 공진 제어에는 주로 댐핑재료(damping material)의 사용이 일반화 되어왔다. 그러나 댐핑재료를 사용한 제어에 있어 서는 계의 특성이나 규모등에 따라 많은 제한요소가 따르는데 특히 구조물 의 규모가 커지거나 복잡해지면, 제어 위치선정에도 어려움이 따르며 그 효 과도 기대하기 어렵다. 다른 방법으로는 기계계의 동적 특성치에 변화를 주 는 것이나, 이를 허용하지 않는 계가 많다. 따라서 이러한 단점들을 보완하 기 위해서 고안된 것이 동흡진기(dynamic absorber)이다. 기존의 선형 동흡 진기[1]는 주공진 부근영역에서 가진되는 계에만 적용이 가능하기 때문에, 흡진기와 기계계의 크기비(ratio)의 결정이 제한적이다. 이런 제한을 극복하 여 비교적 넓은 범위의 가진 주파수에 대해서 최대의 응답을 최소화하기 위 해서는 비선형 동흡진기[5]의 해석이 요구되고 있다. 제어대상의 최적응답을 얻기 위해 흡진기의 크기를 변화시키는 과정을 tuning이라 하는데, 이 과정 을 통해 최적의 감쇠값을 결정할 수 있다. 비선형 흡진기의 장점은 tuning 과정시 비선형 파라미터 변화에 의해 제어가 가능한 영역을 확장할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 동흡진기의 tuning 과정시 흡진기의 크기비와 비선형 파라미터비에 따른 효과를 정규모우드를 활용하여 고찰한 후, 최적의 응답을 통해 비선형 동흡진기의 동적 거동을 연구하였다.

Electrorheological(ER) fluid is a kind of smart material with variable shear stress and dynamic viscosity under various electric field intensity. Electric field can control the damping characteristics of ER damper. The objective of this study is the analysis of the performance of ER damper and its application to shock absorber. Idealized nonlinear Bingham plastic shear flow model is used to predict the velocity profile between electrodes. Cylindrical dashpot ER damper with moving electrode is constructed and tested under various electric fields. The analytic and experimental results for damping force are compared and discussed. Drop test system using ER damper is prepared to identify transient vibration characteristics. The rebound is eased as the applied electric field increases. When semi-active control algorithm is applied, rebound phenomenon disappears and vibration energy level decays faster than the case of zero electric field.

The nonlinear modal interaction of an autoparametric system under a broadband random excitation is investigated. The specific system examined is an autoparametric vibration absorber with internal resonance, which is typical of many common structural configurations. By means of Gaussian closure scheme the dynamic moment equations explaining the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations of the first and second moments. In view of equilibrium solutions of this system and their stability we examine the system responses. We could not find the destabilizing effect of damping, which was reported in References (18) and (20). The saturation phenomenon, which is well known in deterministic nonlinear system, did not take place lot this system subject to broadband random excitation.

This research is concerned with development of the passive-active vibration absorber using piezoelectric actuators. This active-passive isolation system consists of 4-pairs of PZT actuators bonded on accordion type of mounting bracket and a spring-damper located in center.

The damping force of shock absorber in an automobile is determined by the components which construct the S/A. In this study we investigate the individual effect of these components on damping force. In addition, opening of important valve doling compression and tension cycle due to up-down reciprocation movement is also researched. Thus we are to strictly control the properties and tolerance of components having important effects on tile damping force and to produce S/A of better quality.

This research is concerned with the study of an active vibration absorber using piezoelectric actuators and Isolation pad. The active isolation system consists of 4-pairs of PZT actuators bonded on the surface of an aluminum plate and a passive damping material. The active system is connected to the passive system in series. The Signals of the accelerometers are fed into the PZT actuator through the controller. We proposed a new control technique which can deal with the shock as well as the base excitation in this study. The Positive Acceleration Feedback(PAE) tuned to the natural frequency of the vibration isolation system is used to suppress the vibrations caused by the shock using the top accelerometer signal. The Negative Acceleration Feedback (NAF) based on the base acceleration signal is used to counteract the base motion. Experimental results show that the proposed active vibration isolation system can suppress vibrations.
