Recently, studies have been actively conducted on seismic design and improvement of the seismic performance of bridges, buildings, factories, and plants. In particular, heavy items that are being manufactured or waiting to be shipped from factories (such as generators, engines, and boilers) must be equipped with seismic stoppers to prevent them from moving or falling during an earthquake. Seismic stoppers should be suitably determined by the size and weight of these heavy items; however, they have no general design standard. In this study, structural analyses and seismic tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of newly designed seismic stoppers. Structural analysis was performed on three stopper models to estimate the external load at which the yield stress of the material was not exceeded. Based on the analysis results, a seismic test of the stopper was carried out in accordance with the AC156 test method. Finally, product specifications for all three seismic stopper models were determined and their static/dynamic load performance was evaluated.

This paper discusses the shape control of deformable mirrors for Adaptive Optics in the dynamic range. The phenomenon of control-structure interaction appears when the mirror becomes large, lowering the natural frequencies $f_i$, and the control bandwidth $f_c$ increases to improve the performance, so that the condition $f_c{\ll}f_i$ is no longer satisfied. In this case, the control system tends to amplify the response of the flexible modes and the system may become unstable. The main parameters controlling the phenomenon are the frequency ratio $f_c/f_i$ and the structural damping ${\zeta}$. Robustness tests are developed which allow to evaluate a lower bound of the stability margin. Various passive and active strategies for damping augmentation are proposed and tested in simulation.

For the optimal net shape forging of S semi-solid materials (SSM), it is important to predict the deformation behavior and defects of materials. Among these defects, liquid segregation is detrimental to produce products with good mechanical properties. Moreover, to apply a numerical method to thixoforging, it is very important to prevent a liquid segregation during forming process. The liquid segregation phenomena in deformation behavior of semi-solid material with variation of test specimen size were studied. The SSM compression tests were performed by dynamic material test system with a furnace. Stress-strain curves and microstructures of SSM were investigated, and Porosities were analyzed to evaluate the effects of experiment parameters on liquid segregation.

Increased attention has been paid in recent years to the need of traffic management for alleviating urban traffic congestion. This paper presents a discrete event modeling and simulation framework for analyzing the traffic flow. Traffic simulation models can be classified as being either microscopic and macroscopic models. The discrete event modeling and simulation technique can be basically employed to describe the macroscopic traffic simulation model. To do this, we have employed the System Entity Structure/Model Base (SES/MB) framework which integrates the dynamic-based formalism of simulation with the symbolic formalism of AI. The SES/MB framework supports to hierarchical, modular discrete event modeling and simulation environment. We also adopt the Symbolic DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) to developed the automated analysis methodology for generating optimal signal light policy. Several simulation tests will demonstrates the techniques.

Exhaust brake system for Diesel engines is composed of gate valve, pneumatic cylinder and exhaust brake valve with on-off solenoid. Exhaust brake valve which is core component of exhaust brake system should have characteristics such as high reliability and long life. In this paper. exhaust brake valve with on-off solenoid which is used for vehicle brake system was studied. For the performance evaluation of on-off solenoid, electromagnetic characteristics and dynamic characteristics are analyzed. As a basic study for the performance improvement of exhaust brake system, pneumatic circuit and pneumatic valve with on-off solenoid were suggested and the performance of the pneumatic valve was evaluated through tests.

Some aspects of the design procedures of reinforced concrete slabs concerning microvibration behavior have to be considered. In this study, a numerical algorithm for the analysis of slabs to withstand the microvibration effects is developed. First, the evaluation criteria for controlling the microvibration of slabs is given from the literature survey. Second, the human-induced load model is developed by the experimental results. Finally, the procedure for the analysis of reinforced concrete slabs, with particular emphasis to the slab subject to human-induced dynamic load, is developed by the finite element method and is then examined by using the slab model tests, In addition, the effects of elastic modulus, mass, shape of slab, and support conditions on the microvibration behavior of reinforced concrete slabs are analyzed. It is concluded that the developed analysis procedure showns in accecptable accuracy compared with the experiments and the analysis procedure cab be easily appkied to the practical microvibration problems.

The roller compacted concrete (RCC) is supposed to be isotropic, whereas the compaction of this material, which is achieved using the same machines used for the soil, appears only unidirectional, making the RCC an anisotropic material. In this experimental work, the influence of the phenomenon of compaction on the isotropy of the RCC is studied. This study was carried out through an evaluation of the compressive strengths and ultrasonic tests which were used for measurements of the elastic modulus and the dynamic Poisson's ratio of the RCC as well as a qualitative judgement of the RCC aspect at the hardened state. The results of this work proved the anisotropy of the RCC and they showed the sensitivity of the mechanical strengths and the elastic modulus to the compaction direction.

The effect of vinegar concentration (＋30%, 0% and -30%) on the emulsion stability of mayonnaise dressing was studied by the measurement of theological test and sensory evaluation. The emulsion stability of mayonnaise dressing increased with increase in vinegar concentration. The results of steady shear theological test indicated that C sample of the highest vinegar concentration (＋30%) exhibited higher emulsion stability than other samples. The dynamic shear datas were similar to steady shear theological data. The mayonnaise dressing samples showed time dependence, which was quantitatively described by the Weltman model. Parameters A and B indicated that the structure of C sample exhibited more stable than that of A (-30%) and B (0%) samples. The amount of oil separation was less than that of A and B samples. The results of sensory evaluation were similar to those of theological and emulsion tests.

The purpose of this paper is to further extend the theoretical understanding of the dynamic end milling process and to derive a computational model to predict the milling force components. A comparative assessment of different cutting force models is performed to demonstrate that the instantaneous shear plane based formulation is physically sound and offers the best agreement with experimental results. The procedure for the calculation of the model parameters used in the cutting force model, based on experimental data, has been presented. The validity of the proposed computational model has been experimentally verified through a series of cutting tests.

The most important factor in an aircraft manufacturing is stability and weight reduction. Most of aircraft components are designed with thin plate type to satisfy weight reduction needs. The thin plate is difficult to be machined because it is apt to be vibrated by dynamic force generated in milling process. The most critical factor in machining of aluminum thin plate is width and thickness between stiffeners. So we tested many cases to find out the machinable minimum thickness at different width between stiffeners. And with the data obtained from many tests, this papers suggested the standard width thickness relation that is machinable without vacuum fixture. Machinist will be able to reduce the cost of aircraft thin plate parts by reducing the number of vacuum fixture used by the help of this standard.
