A smart tuned mass damper (TMD) was developed to provide better control performance than a passive TMD for reduction of earthquake induced-responses. Because a passive TMD was developed decades ago, optimal design methods for structural parameters of a TMD, such as damping constant and stiffness, have been developed already. However, studies of optimal design method for structural parameters of a smart TMD were little performed to date. Therefore, parameter studies of structural properties of a smart TMD were conducted in this paper to develop optimal design method of a smart TMD under seismic excitation. A retractable-roof spatial structure was used as an example structure. Because dynamic characteristics of a retractable-roof spatial structure is changed based on opened or closed roof condition, control performance of smart TMD under off-tuning was investigated. Because mass ratio of TMD and smart TMD mainly affect control performance, variation of control performance due to mass ratio was investigated. Parameter studies of structural properties of a smart TMD was performed to find optimal damping constant and stiffness and it was compared with the results of optimal passive TMD design method. The design process developed in this study is expected to be used for preliminary design of a smart TMD for a retractable-roof spatial structure.

Identification of structure parameters is crucial in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) context for activities such as model validation, damage assessment and signal processing of structure response. In this paper, guided waves generated by piezoelectric transducers are used for in-situ and non-destructive structural parameter estimation based on Bayesian approach. As Bayesian approach needs iterative process, which is computationally expensive, this paper proposes a method in which an analytical model is selected and developed in order to decrease computational time and complexity of modeling. An experimental set-up is implemented to estimate three target elastic and geometrical parameters: Young's modulus, Poisson ratio and thickness of aluminum and steel plates. Experimental and simulated data are combined in a Bayesian framework for parameter identification. A significant accuracy is achieved regarding estimation of target parameters with maximum error of 8, 11 and 17 percent respectively. Moreover, the limitation of analytical model concerning boundary reflections is addressed and managed experimentally. Pulse excitation is selected as it can excite the structure in a wide frequency range contrary to conventional tone burst excitation. The results show that the proposed non-destructive method can be used in service for estimation of material and geometrical properties of structure in industrial applications.

Gate-controlled spin-orbit interaction parameter is a key factor for developing spin-Field Effect Transistor (Spin-FET) in a quantum well structure because the strength of the spin-orbit interaction parameter decides the spin precession angle [1]. Many researches show the control of spin-orbit interaction parameter in n-type quantum channels, however, for the complementary logic device p-type quantum channel should be also necessary. We have calculated the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the effective mass using the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillation measurement in a GaSb two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) structure as shown in Fig 1. The inset illustrates the device geometry. The spin-orbit interaction parameter of $1.71{\times}10^{11}$ eVm and effective mass of 0.98 $m^0$ are obtained at T=1.8 K, respectively. Fig. 2 shows the gate dependence of the spin-orbit interaction parameter and the hole concentration at 1.8 K, which indicates the spin-orbit interaction parameter increases with the carrier concentration in p-type channel. On the order hand, opposite gate dependence was found in n-type channel [1,2]. Therefore, the combined device of p- and n-type channel spin transistor would be a good candidate for the complimentary logic device.

A virtual parameter is introduced into the formulation of the previously published integration method to improve its stability properties. It seems that the numerical properties of this integration method are almost unaffected by this parameter except for the stability property. As a result, it can have second order accuracy, explicit formulation and controllable numerical dissipation in addition to the enhanced stability property. In fact, it can have unconditional stability for the system with the instantaneous degree of nonlinearity less than or equal to the specified value of the virtual parameter for the modes of interest for each time step.

An epitaxial NiSi structure on Si (001) substrate was studied by using density functional theory (DFT). Orhorhombic and B2-NiSi structures were compared first. B2 structure was further considered as it has same crystal structure as Si and the lattice mismatch between B2 and Si is small, compared to orthorhombic-NiSi. The lattice parameters of x- and y-direction in B2-NiSi structure were modified to match with those in Si (001). The size reduction of the lattice parameter of B2-NiSi to match with that of Si increased the lattice parameter of z-direction by 10.5%. Therefore, we propose that an optimum structure of NiSi for epitaxial growth on Si (001) is a tetragonal structure.

When launch vehicles are manufactured, one of the key points is a design of lightweight structure for reducing costs. Isogrid structure was designed to solve this topic, and many researches were carried out about buckling load because compression load is mainly applied to them. Recently, many studies are also being carried out about FEM model geometry of isogrid structure. The reason is that isogrid structure depends on size of ribs so it is difficult to modify about small changes in rib pattern. In this study, 1/8 model of cylindrical isogrid structure model was developed to analyze buckling behavior. Through parameter study, buckling analysis were performed to analyze buckling load and buckling mode depending on size of ribs.

In this paper, the model reference adaptive control (MRAC) of a flexible structure is investigated. Any mechanically flexible structure is inherently distributed parameter in nature, so that its dynamics are described by a partial, rather than ordinary, differential equation. The MRAC problem is formulated as an initial value problem of coupled partial and ordinary differential equations in weak form. The well-posedness of the initial value problem is proved. The control law is derived by using the Lyapunov redesign method on an infinite dimensional filbert space. Uniform asymptotic stability of the closed loop system is established, and asymptotic tracking, i. e., convergence of the state-error to zero, is obtained. With an additional persistence of excitation condition for the reference model, parameter-error convergence to zero is also shown. Numerical simulations are provided.

Spandex fibers have superior stretch and elastic recovery ability. Composite yarns containing spandex are frequently used to manufacture elastic textile products and accessories. We have developed a composite yarn spinning system that produces different kinds of composite yarns containing spandex on a modified open-end rotor spinning frame. By changing the twisting parameter of composite yarns, we studied the structure and properties of rotor-spun composite yarns with spandex. The results indicate that the twisting parameter has great influence on the structure and properties of rotor-spun composite yarns with spandex. The linear density of spandex filament has influence on the properties of composite yarns too. In comparison with normal rotor-spun yarn, the appearance of composite yarns is clearer, the structure is much tighter, and the properties are improved.

A sensor placement technique to identify structural parameter was developed. Experimental results must be acquired to identify unknown dynamic characteristics of a targeting structure for the comparison between analytical model and real structure. If the experimental environment was not equipped itself properly, it can be happened that some valuable information are distorted or ill-condition can be occurred. In this work the index to determine exciting points was derived from the criterion of maximizing parameter sensitivity matrix and that to choose measurement points was from that of preserving the invariant of sensitivity matrix. This idea was applied to a compressor hull structure to verify its performance. The result shows that the selection of measurement and excitation points using suggested criteria improve the ill-conditioning problem of inverse type problems such , as model updating.
