The Super High-Speed Motor is a turbo machine which operates at high speed, so air foil bearings suit their purpose as bearing elements. The rotordynamic stability was predicted using the numerical analysis of air foil bearings. From this study, the stability of rotor of the Super High-Speed Motor was confirmed by campbell diagram and logarithmic decrement.

본 연구는 CCA 처리재의 재건조(再乾燥)시 적용된 건조 스케쥴 (통상(通常) 열기건조(熱氣乾燥)와 고온건조(高溫乾燥) 스케쥴)이 처리재의 휨강도(强度) 성질에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고자 수행되었다. 탄성계수(彈性係數)(MOE), 그리고 비파괴시험(非破壞試驗)에 의해 얻어진 동적(動的) 탄성계수 (Dynamic MOE) 및 대수감쇠율(對數減衰率)(Logarithmic decrement) 은 처리후 재건조에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 반면에 적용된 건조 스케쥴에 관계없이 재건조시 심각한 파괴계수(破壞係數)(MOR)의 감소가 파괴계수 분포의 모든 영역에서 초래되었다. 그러나 통상 열기건조(최대 건구온도=$71^{\circ}C$)와 고온건조(건구온도=$110^{\circ}C$) 서로간에는 감소의 정도에 큰 차이가 없었다. 따라서, 처리재의 재건조사 심각한 파괴계수의 감소가 용인(容認)되지 않는다면 CCA로 처리된 Lodgepole pine 각재의 재건조는 미국 연방 임산물 시험장의 Lodgepole pine의 통상 열기건조 스케쥴 (T9-C3) 보다 온화(溫和)한 조건으로 실시되어야 할 것이다.

Effects of different heat treatments on microstructure and damping capacity of Cu-55%Mn alloy were investigated to find an optimum heat treatment condition for a maximum damping capacity. The alloy showed the high level of damping capacity in case of the aging at 375 and $400^{\circ}C$. This is ascribed to the FCC${\rightarrow}$FCT martensitic transformation and microstructural changes from mottled to tweed band type. The damping capacity had a maximum value of 0.33 in logarithmic decrement when the alloy was aged at $375^{\circ}C$ for 14 hours followed by 20 times of thermal cycling between room temperature and $250^{\circ}C$. The refinement of tweed structure by thermal cycling is thought to be responsible for the highest damping capacity.

SEA(Statistical Energy Analysis) method has been applied to predict the sound radiation power from vibrating machinery. In this study, sound radiation power was predicted from coupled structures by transmission of vibration, which composed of two plates welded into an L shape. The predicted sound radiation power is in agreement within 2 or 3 dB on octave band comparing with values obtained from direct measurements. Also, in order to prove the validity of this method in changes of sound radiation power associated with modifications to structures, rubber pad was stuck on a plate. The results agree approximately within 3 or 5 dB. And SEA method is valuable for the optimal design to reduce the noise. Additionally, this paper suggests that the logarithmic decrement method is valid as the one for finding the loss factor.

Seismic waves are attenuated by losses of energy as they propagate through the earth. One way to model this numerically is to make the velocity a complex number, the real part giving the phase velocity and the imaginary part the attenuation. This models wave propagation in a medium for which the logarithmic decrement is independent of frequency(attenuation coefficient is proportional to frequncy). The aim is to modify forward and inverse numerical modeling so that attenuation can be specified as a function of position.

Recently, due to the advanced measurement techniques, long-term health monitoring systems have been frequently applied to existing bridges. It is known that damping ratios as one of dynamic properties would be an important parameter for evaluating the bridge condition. However, damping ratios may be normally varied depending on the external loading effects on bridges. In general, both the logarithmic decrement and the half-power band width method as a conventional method can be simply used for evaluating the damping ratios accurately when bridge response signals are measured under free vibration conditions. In this study, the Hilbert-Huang transform and the extended Kalman filter were applied to evaluate the damping ratio by using the bridge acceleration signals measured under ambient vibration condition. From the results under ambient vibration condition of bridges, it was examined that the damping ratios evaluated from both the Hilbert-Huang transform and the extended Kalman filter could be more reliable than those from conventional methods.

A dynamic stability test was performed to determine dynamic stability derivatives for the pure pitching motion of air-to-ground missile model in the low speed wind tunnel. The free vibration technique was employed to acquire oscillation characteristics of the model for damping coefficients. Damping coefficients are obtained by the method of logarithmic decrement. Results show good damping effects and stability capability at Mach numbers 0.1 and 0.2, with the angle of attack ranging from -15 to +20 degrees.

This study is concerned with the fluid sloshing dampers to suppress the high vibration in the resonance and operating regions. An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the logarithmic decrement, natural frequency, tuning frequency ratio of oscillation of liquids contained in an spherical rigid container. The decay of the vibration amplitude was studied for the range of liquid filling ratio in container. The results of the investigation indicate that the sloshing motion of liquids results in an increase in the available effective damping when the filling ratio is in the region near H/R=1.3-1.6.

사장교 케이블의 감쇠비를 추정하기 위하여 실교량 계측을 수행하였다. 사장교 케이블은 감쇠비가 낮고, 고유 진동수가 케이블의 길이에 따라 넓은 범위에 걸쳐 분포하므로, 바람이나 지점 가진에 의하여 과도한 진동이 발생될 수 있다. 케이블 진동 현상의 원인과 발생되고 진행되는 구조는 다양하나, 진동 현상의 가장 중요한 요소는 감쇠비이며, 케이블 진동의 과도한 진동을 감소시키기 위하여, 케이블의 감쇠비를 증가시키는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. 사장교 케이블의 다양한 진동 현상에 대한 발생 여부를 판단하고, 케이블 댐퍼와 같은 여러 제진 대책을 설계하고, 설치된 케이블 제진 대책의 성능을 검증하기 위해서는, 케이블의 감쇠비를 추정하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 일반적으로 사용되어져 온 케이블의 감쇠비 추정 방법은 정해진 모드로 자유 진동을 발생시킨 후, 진폭의 감소 추세로부터 Logarithmic Decrement를 계산하여 감쇠비를 구하는 방법이다. 그러나 수백m에 이르는 긴 케이블에서 정해진 모드의 자유 진동을 발생시키는 것은 쉽지 않다. 최근에는 상시 진동으로부터 감쇠비를 추정하는 여러 기법들이 개발되어져 왔으며, Frequency Domain Decomposition Method나 Stochastic Subspace Identification Method 등이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이 논문에서는, 상시진동 기반의 기법들을 사용하여, 사장교 케이블의 감쇠비를 추정하였으며, 추정된 감쇠비의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해, 측정시간을 늘리고, 가진 풍하중의 영향을 반영하여 보정하였다. 또한 추정된 감쇠비를 Buffeting 진동과 와류 진동과 같이 진동 현상과 진폭별로 분석하였다.

Gearboxes are often used in the petrochemical and electrical power plants to transmit mechanical power between two branches of a machinery train rotating at different speeds. When the gearboxes are connected with rotors supported by journal bearings, bearing loads vary in magnitude and direction with rotor speed and torque transmitted by the gearboxes. In this study, dynamic characteristics of the system which consists of gearboxes and a rotor supported by journal bearings are investigated analytically and experimentally by employing the polynomial transfer matrix method and modal analysis under different speeds and torque levels. Journal bearing loads due to the transmitted torque are claculated analytically and the stiffness and damping coefficient of the journal bearings are obtained using finite element method. Comparison of the analytical and experimental results shows that the cross coupled stiffness coefficients increase with increasing rotor speed, while the cross coupled damping coefficients decrease. This generates the oil whirl instability in the journal bearings. As the transmitted torque level goes up, the stiffness coefficients of the journal bearing and the first horizontal natural frequency increase. High levels of the transmitted torque produce high bearing stiffness since the contact loads of the mating gear teeth increase. The logarithmic decrement, which is a stability indicator, is shown to decrease with increasing speed and decreasing torque. Thus, at the low torque level, the system become unstable even at the low shaft speed.
