In order to reduce the time and costs of improving the performance of vehicle suspensions, the techniques for optimizing damping and air spring characteristic were proposed. A full vehicle model for a bus is constructed with a car body, front and rear suspension linkages, air springs, dampers, tires, and a steering system. An air spring and a damper are modeled with nonlinear characteristics using experimental data and a curve fitting technique. The objective function for ride quality is WRMS (Weighted RMS) of the power spectral density of the vertical acceleration at the driver's seat, middle seat and rear seat. The objective function for handling performance is the RMS (Root Mean Squares) of the roll angle, roll rate, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration at the center of gravity of a body during a lane change. The design variables are determined by damping coefficients, damping exponents and curve fitting parameters of air spring characteristic curves. The Taguchi method is used in order to investigate sensitivity of design variables. Since ride and handling performances are mutually conflicting characteristics, the validity of the developed optimum design procedure is demonstrated by comparing the trends of ride and handling performance indices with respect to the ratio of weighting factors. The global criterion method is proposed to obtain the solution of multi-objective optimization problem.

본 연구에서는 국내 항만 및 어항시설의 내진설계표준서에서 설계 예로 이용한 지진파를 포함하여 지진규모 $5.3{\sim}7.9$ 수준의 28개의 지진기록에 대한 에너지와 스펙트럼 분석을 통한 국내 적합성 여부를 평가하였고, 이를 통해 국내 내진설계에 적용 가능한 입력지진기록을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안된 지진기록을 이용하여 케이슨의 형상 및 하부지반 상태에 따른 케이슨 안벽의 동적 수평변위특성을 분석하였다. 연구 결과 지진파가 보유하고 있는 에너지와 가속도 스펙트럼의 크기는 지진규모가 커질수록 증가하였다. 특히, 지진규모 7.5 부근의 지진기록은 내진설계기준에 규정된 표준설계응답스펙트럼에서 크게 벗어난 반면, 지진규모 6.5 부근의 4개의 지진기록은 국내 내진설계기준에 규정된 표준설계응답스펙트럼을 거의 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 입력지진에 따른 케이슨 안벽의 동적 수평변위특성 분석 결과 국내 항만 및 어항시설의 내진설계 표준서의 예제로 제시한 지진규모 7.4 이상의 지진파의 수평변위는 국내의 내진설계기준에서 제시한 표준설계응답스펙트럼을 대체적으로 만족하는 지진규모 6.5 수준의 지진파의 수평변위보다 2배 이상 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로부터 지진규모 7.4 이상의 지진파를 이용한 내진설계는 지진력을 과다하게 산정하여 비경제적인 설계를 할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 국내 적합성 평가로부터 구한4개의 지진기록을 입력하중으로한 동해석 결과에 대한 정량적인 분석을 통해 케이슨의 형상과 하부지반 깊이 및 지반의 표준관입저항치를 이용하여 간편하게 케이슨 안벽의 지진시 수평변위를 산정할 수 있는 간편도표를 제안하였다.

본 연구에서는 지속적인 담수유입이 존재하고 S자의 수로형태를 가진 경기만 석모수로에서 소조기 홍수시 13시간 동안 7개의 정선에서 단면유속 및 염분을 관측하였다. 각 단면의 최강 창조와 낙조시의 유속 크기와 방향을 파악하였고, 단면 내의 유속 분포 및 염분구조를 분석하였다. 또한 정선 별로 나타나는 횡 방향 흐름이 어떠한 운동량에 의해 지배되는지 파악하고자 횡 방향의 운동량 분석을 수행하였다. 운동량 분석에서는 석모수로의 S자 형태의 영향을 고려하기 위해서 원심력을 고려하였다. 분석 결과 소조기 홍수시 석모수로는 횡 방향 압력 경도력과 수직적 마찰력이 가장 우세하기 때문에 염분 분포와 성층에 의한 흐름이 주로 나타났다. 수로의 특성은 크게 북단과 남단으로 나누어 볼 수 있는데 상대적으로 조간대가 넓게 형성되고 담수의 영향이 큰 석모수로 북단의 4개 정선중에서 수심이 깊은 정선에서는 횡 방향 압력 경도력이 우세하지만 수직적으로 크기가 다르며, 수심이 낮은 정선에서는 수직 마찰항이 우세하였다. 이와는 달리 수심이 깊고 수로의 굴곡이 심한 석모수로 남단에서는 낙조시 지형학적 원인과 담수의 영향에 따라 이류 가속항과 원심력이 강해지게 된다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합할 때, 석모수로는 위치와 수심, 수로의 굴곡 등에 따라 운동량 분포가 각기 달리 나타나며 이러한 영향으로 인해 횡 방향 흐름 특성이 발생했음을 알 수 있다.

This paper is focused on development of models for measuring lateral and vertical track irregularities from corresponding accelerometers of an in-service high-speed train. Generally, the track irregularity was measured by a special railway inspection vehicle or system with contact or non-contact sensors. However, the sensors are very expensive and vulnerable to a harsh environment. Displacement estimation from an inertial measurement unit and its wave-band filtering was already developed in the previous study, and it was found that their results included not only the track irregularities but also other information such as phase delay of the applied filters, and suspension and conicity of the wheel. To identify the track irregularities from those results, a compensation filtering method was proposed. Each directional compensation filter was derived by using a system identification method with the estimated directional displacement as input and the corresponding track irregularities as output. In this paper, they are integrated into a model for each direction and applied to the measured lateral and vertical acceleration data from the axle-box and bogie of an in-service high-speed train. Their results are compared with the data from the track geometry measurement system. From the comparison, the proposed models are a useful tool for the measurement of the track irregularities using accelerometers of in-service high-speed trains.

Currently, there are many lateral resisting systems utilized in resisting lateral loads being produced in an earthquake. Such systems can significantly reduce the roof's displacement when placed at an optimum location. Since in the design of tall buildings, the minimum distance between adjacent buildings is important. In this paper, the critical excitation method is used to determine the best location of the belt truss system while calculating the minimum required distance between two adjacent buildings. For this purpose, the belt truss system is placed at a specific story. Then the critical earthquakes are computed so that the considered constraints are satisfied, and the value of roof displacement is maximized. This procedure is repeated for all stories; i.e., for each, a critical acceleration is computed. From this set of computed roof displacement values, the story with the least displacement is selected as the best location for the belt truss system. Numerical studies demonstrate that absolute roof displacements induced through critical accelerations range between 5.36 to 1.95 times of the San Fernando earthquake for the first example and 7.67 to 1.22 times of the San Fernando earthquake for the second example. This method can also be used to determine the minimum required distance between two adjacent buildings to eliminate the pounding effects. For this purpose, this value is computed based on different standard codes and compared with the results of the critical excitation method to show the ability of the proposed method.

The additional axial force of CWR(continuous welded rail) is occurred by structure-track interaction, in reverse, fixed supports of structure are applied the large load by that. Ratio of load which transferred on support through the bridge superstructure with one-side REJ by acceleration and braking load are stated in High-Speed Rail Design Criteria(2005). On the other hand the horizontal forces of support delivered to the load due to thermal loads has been no report about the criteria. Therefore, this study was performed the review of the reaction and displacement on support by structure-track interaction in a special bridge(composite brdiges, 45+55+55+45=200m) with REJ acting on the temperature load. As a result, because fixed support of a special bridge or a continuous bridge with REJ under the temperature load which is constant load has been acted the large lateral load by structure-track interaction, when determining the fixed bearing capacity of structure should be reflected in the results to secure the safety of structures was confirmed.

The low rate of penetration and short lifetime of drilling bit served as the most common problems encountered in hard formation drilling, thus leading to severe restriction of drilling efficiency in oil and gas reservoir. This study developed a new local impact drilling method to enhance hard formation drilling efficiency. The limitation length formulas of radial/lateral cracks under static indentation and dynamic impact are derived based on the experimental research of Marshall D.B considering the mud column pressure and confining pressure. The local impact rock breaking simulation model is conducted to investigate its ROP raising effect. The results demonstrate that the length of radial/lateral cracks will increase as the decrease of mud pressure and confining pressure, and the local impact can result in a damage zone round the impact crater which helps the rock cutting, thus leading to the ROP increase. The numerical results also demonstrate the advantages of local impact method for raising ROP and the vibration reduction of bit in hard formation drilling. This study has shown that the local impact method can help raising the ROP and vibration reduction of bit, and it may be applied in drilling engineering.

In this work, the semi-active control of a large-sized bus suspension system with an MR damper was studied. An MR damper model that can aptly describe the hysteretic characteristics of an MR damper was adopted. Parameter values of the MR damper model were suitably modified by considering the maximum damping force of a passive damper used in the suspension system of a real large-sized bus. In addition, a fuzzy logic controller was developed for semi-active control of a suspension system with an MR damper. The vertical acceleration at the attachment point of the MR damper and the relative velocity between sprung and unsprung masses were used as input variables, while voltage was used as the output variable. Straight-ahead driving simulations were performed on a road with a random road profile and on a flat road with a bump. In straight-ahead driving simulations, the vertical acceleration and pitch angle were measured to compare the riding performance of a suspension system with a passive damper with that of a suspension with an MR damper. In addition, a single lane change simulation was performed. In the simulation, the lateral acceleration and roll angle were measured in order to compare the handling performance of a suspension system using a passive damper with that of a suspension system using an MR damper.

In this paper, it is aimed to present a comparative study about the structural behavior of tall buildings consisting of different type of materials such as concrete, steel or timber using finite element analyses and experimental measurements on shaking table. For this purpose, two 1/60 scaled 28 and 30-stories wooden building models with $40{\times}40cm$ and $35{\times}35cm$ ground/floor area and 1.45 m-1.55 m total height are built in laboratory condition. Considering the frequency range, mode shapes, maximum displacements and relative story drifts for structural models as well as acceleration, displacement and weight limits for shaking table, to obtain the typical building response as soon as possible, balsa is selected as a material property, and additional masses are bonded to some floors. Finite element models of the building models are constituted in SAP2000 program. According to the main purposes of earthquake resistant design, three different earthquake records are used to simulate the weak, medium and strong ground motions. The displacement and acceleration time-histories are obtained for all earthquake records at the top of building models. To validate the numerical results, shaking table tests are performed. The selected earthquake records are applied to first mode (lateral) direction, and the responses are recorded by sensitive accelerometers. Comparisons between the numerical and experimental results show that shaking table tests are enough to identify the structural response of wooden buildings. Considering 20%, 10% and 5% damping rations, differences are obtained within the range 4.03-26.16%, 3.91-65.51% and 6.31-66.49% for acceleration, velocity and displacements in Model-1, respectively. Also, these differences are obtained as 0.49-31.15%, 6.03-6.66% and 16.97-66.41% for Model-2, respectively. It is thought that these differences are caused by anisotropic structural characteristic of the material due to changes in directions parallel and perpendicular to fibers, and should be minimized using the model updating procedure.

차선유지 제어시스템, 적응식순항 제어시스템과 같은 첨단운전 지원시스템은 기본적으로 차량의 거동 정보를 기반으로 구동되지만, 최근 도로의 기하학적 정보를 추가적으로 활용하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 도로의 종단경사는 차량의 가감속 제어 및 항법알고리즘 구현에 있어 필수적인 정보로서 DGPS-RTK와 같은 고가의 장비로 직접 측정하는 방법과 디지털 맵에 저장된 속성정보를 활용하는 방식이 제안되고 있으나, 상용화 관점에서는 아직 많은 문제점이 존재한다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 추가 센서의 장착없이 연속형 확장칼만필터를 활용하여 차량의 동특성과 도로종단경사를 효율적으로 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 도로종단경사를 포함하는 3자유도 차량동역학 모델과 차량의 내부 네트워크롤 통해 수집할 수 있는 차량의 상태정보를 기반으로 확장칼만필터를 설계하여 차량의 동특성과 도로종단경사를 추정한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 시뮬레이션과 실차실험을 통해 그 성능을 검증하였다.
