In this study, dynamic serviceability of PSC, PreStressed Concrete, simple railway bridge with 25m span was estimated. All of the high speed and general train loads were considered at estimation. Natural frequency is estimated about 8Hz and includes within optimum natural frequency extent of the railway bridge. Also, the bridge was detected that resonance occurrence possibility does not exist. When travel the Moogunghwa train, acceleration response was measured to 0.43g that exceed limitation value 0.35g. Also, rotation angle of girders end did not satisfy design standard of railway bridge for high speed train, but impact coefficient and deflection satisfied design standard. As a result, that railway bridge was detected that is securing dynamic safety and serviceability partially, but methods to decrease vibration acceleration response are required.

Recently, piezoelectric devices, such as ultrasonic surgery, ultrasonic atomizer, and ultrasonic speaker, are analyzed and designed by finite element simulation methods. However, the discrepancy between the design and the experiment results of the device typically occurs due to the inaccuracy of the piezoelectric material properties. To improve the simulation accuracy, the material properties of the PZT ceramics were better refined using parameter estimation method. The material parameters are elastic stiffness c^E_ij and piezoelectric constant e_ij of PZT ceramics. The impedance curve characteristics for the LTE mode of PZT ceramics were calculated. The mismatch between the simulation and the experimental data were compared and minimized by a least square method. Finally, the simulated impedance data were compared with the experimental data for the various vibration modes of PZT ceramics and the optimized material properties of PZT ceramics were verified. To further verify the accuracy, this method was also applied to piezoelectric PMN-PT single crystals.

Sound radiated from a structure in vibration is an important physical characteristic to evaluate vibro-acoustic problem. Although sound radiation power can be typically obtained by intensity measurement, long measuring time and strict measuring condition remain difficult. As an alternative method, simulation-based estimation can be taken into account and its accuracy is known to be acceptable. However, difficulty still lies in that specialized softwares may be necessary to obtain sound radiation power and radiation efficiency. In this context, this study suggests two methods using an ordinary FE method to calculate sound radiation power. They are well-known reciprocity technique and p-p method, which are basically test methods. It is shown that either method can practically estimate sound radiation in the frame of conventional Finite Element Method (FEM). The methods and their corresponding limit are discussed with some results.

Accurate estimation of modal parameters (i.e., natural frequency, damping ratio) of tall buildings is of great importance to their structural design, structural health monitoring, vibration control, and state assessment. Based on the combination of variational mode decomposition, smoothed discrete energy separation algorithm-1, and Half-cycle energy operator (VMD-SH), this paper presents a method for structural modal parameter estimation. The variational mode decomposition is proved to be effective and reliable for decomposing the mixed-signal with low frequencies and damping ratios, and the validity of both smoothed discrete energy separation algorithm-1 and Half-cycle energy operator in the modal identification of a single modal system is verified. By incorporating these techniques, the VMD-SH method is able to accurately identify and extract the various modes present in a signal, providing improved insights into its underlying structure and behavior. Subsequently, a numerical study of a four-story frame structure is conducted using the Newmark-β method, and it is found that the relative errors of natural frequency and damping ratio estimated by the presented method are much smaller than those by traditional methods, validating the effectiveness and accuracy of the combined method for the modal identification of the multi-modal system. Furthermore, the presented method is employed to estimate modal parameters of a full-scale tall building utilizing acceleration responses. The identified results verify the applicability and accuracy of the presented VMD-SH method in field measurements. The study demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed VMD-SH method in accurately estimating modal parameters of tall buildings from acceleration response data.

진동원을 가진 장비를 임의의 구조물에 설치할 경우 관심이 되는 문제는 구 조물의 임의의 위치에서의 진동 수준을 추정하는 일이다. 특히 정밀장비를 다루는 반도체 공장에서 크린룸이나, 정밀측정, 분석 실험실등 미진동을 제 어해야 하는 분야에서는 더욱 그 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 진동제어가 필요 한 공간에 대한 진동수준의 예측이 가능할 경우 진동윈이나 수진점(active and passive type)방진에서 최적화된 전달률(transmissibility)을 명확히 결정 할 수 있어 설계와 시행오차를 최소화 할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 실제문제 를 다룰 경우 대부분 진동제어 구조물은 복잡하고 설치 운용되는 장비들은 대형, 복합장비가 사용되는 것이 일반적이고 수행기간도 여러가지 공정상 단 시간에 이루어져야 하는 현실적인 어려움이 있다. 진동제어가 필요한 구조물 에 대한 임의의 공간에서 진동수준을 신속하고 정확하게 예측하기 위해서는 최소한 두 가지 정보만이라도 명확히 해야 한다. 하나는 장비의 주파수별 정 확한 가진력의 산정이고 다른 하나는 장비가 설치되고 진동제어가 필요한 구조물에 대한 동적특성(dynamic property)이다. 가진력에 대한 정보는 일반 적으로 장비제작사가 제시하는 것이 원칙이나 그렇지 못할 경우 구조해석 기술자(structure engineer)가 해석적으로 추정하거나 또는 명확히 가진 특성 을 알지 못하는 복잡한 장비는 실험적으로 결정해야 한다. 구조물의 동적 특 성을 나타내는 모빌리티(mobility)를 구하는 방법은 해석적인 방법과 실험적 인 방법이 있으나 복합재료, 복잡한 구조형태나, 지지조건, 다양한 결합부의 동적 특성을 정의하여 해석적으로 정확히 해결하기에는 어려움이 있다. 이러 한 제한조건을 손쉽게 해결하는 방법은 실 구조물에 대한 동적실험(dynamic test)을 통하여 단기간에 동적특성을 결정하고 SDM(structure dynamic modification)이나 FRS(force response simulation)를 수행하여 임의의 좌표 공간에 대한 진동수준을 해석적으로 예측할 뿐만 아니라 구조물의 진동제어 를 위한 동적인자를 변경시킬 수 있는 정보를 제공하며 장비를 방진할 경우 신뢰성 있는 전달률을 결정할 수 있다. 실험적으로 철교, 교량이나 건물의 철골구조 및 2층 바닥 등 대,중형의 복잡한 구조물에 대항 동특성을 나타내 는 모빌리티를 결정할 경우 충격 가진 실험이 사용되는 실험장비 측면에서 나 실험을 수행하는 과정이 대체적으로 간편하다. 그러나 이 경우 대상 구조 물을 충분히 가진시킬수 있는 용량의 대형 충격기(large impact hammer)가 필요하게 된다. 이러한 동적실험은 약 길이 61m, 폭 16m의 4경간 교량에 대 하여 동적실험을 수행하여 가능성을 확인하였다. 여기서는 실험실 수준의 평 판모델을 제작하고 실제 현장에서 이루어질 수 있는 진동제어 구조물에 대 한 동적실험 및 FRS를 수행하는 과정과 동일하게 따름으로써 실제 발생할 수 있는 오차나 error를 실험실내의 차원에서 파악하여 진동원을 있는 구조 물에 대한 진동제어기술을 보유하고자 한다.

Recently, the non-vibration mass excavation method is used on sewage pipes and road construction sites in Jeju. However, a construction cost estimation based on the unit quantity does not provide a proper unit price. In this study, a comparison of the productivity of the standard quantity-per-unit costing method and the one of the work crew combination method was made based on the site monitoring of the non-vibration mass excavation method that is used in construction sites near Jeju. For this, data of 35 sites were collected: a regression equation was derived from the 30 data, and verification was carried out through the remaining 5 data. The analysis concluded that a day's workload is $16.43m^3$. In addition, a combination of the equipment considering the site conditions and the amount of labor, which varies with the number of work crew was obtained in order to estimate the construction cost of the work crew combination method. The construction cost was calculated based on the one-day workload ($16.43m^3$) derived from the regression analysis. The cost then was analyzed and compared with the standard quantity-per-unit costing method.

Vibration propagated from seismic sources has damping according to distance and amplification and reduction characteristic in different regions according to topography and geological structure. The vibration propagated from the seismic source to the bedrock is largely affected by the damping according to the separation distance, which can be simply estimated through the damping equation. However, it is important to grasp geological information by location because vibration estimation transmitted to the surface are affected by the natural period of the soil located above the bedrock. Geotechnical investigation data are needed to estimate the seismic intensity based on geological information. If there is no Vs profile, the standard penetration tests are mainly used to determine the soil parameters. The Integrated DB Center of National Geotechnical Information manages the geotechnical survey data performed on the domestic ground, and there is the standard penetration test information of 400,000 holes. In this study, the possibility of quantitation the amplification coefficient for each region was examined to calculated the physical interactive seismic intensity based on geotechnical information. At this time, the shear wave column diagram was generated from the SPT-N value and ground response analysis was performed in the target area. The site coefficients for each zone and the seismic intensity distribution for the seismic motion present a significant difference according to the analysis method and the regional setting.

Recently many high-rise apartment buildings are constructed using the box system which is composed only of concrete walls and slabs. Commercial softwares such as ETABS used for the analysis of high-rise apartment buildings are employing the rigid diaphragm assumption for simplicity in the analysis procedure. In general the flexural stiffness of floor slabs are ignored in the analysis, This assumption may be reasonable for the estimation of seismic response of framed structures. But in the case of the box system used in the apartment buildings floor slabs has major effects on the lateral stiffness of the structure. So if the flexural stiffness of slabs in the box system is ignored the lateral stiffness may be significantly underestimated, For these reasons it is recommended to use plate elements to represent the floor slabs. In the study A typical frame structure and a box system structure are chosen as the example structure. When a 20 story frame structure is subjected to the static lateral loads the displacements of the roof are 15.33cm and 17.52cm for the cases with and without the flexural stiffness of the floor slabs. And in case of box system the roof displacement was reduced from 16.18cm to 8.61cm The model without the flexural stiffness of floor slabs turned out to elongate the natural periods of vibration accordingly.

This paper proposes a design method for improving the frequency-domain performance reliability of dynamic systems with uncertain and degrading components. Discrete frequencies are used in this method as surrogates for the frequency band of interest, and the conformance of the frequency responses to the specification at these frequencies is utilized to model the frequency-domain performance reliability. A meta-model for the frequency responses, an extreme-value event, and the set-theory are integrated to improve the computational efficiency of the reliability estimation. In addition, a sample-based approach is presented to evaluate and optimize the estimated performance reliability. A case study of a vibration absorber system showed that the proposed design method has engineering applications.
