Abstract

The real-time hybrid testing method(RT-HYTEM) is a structural testing technique in which the numerical integration of the equation of motion for a numerical substructure and the physical testing for an experimental substructure are performed simultaneously in real-time. This study presents the quantitative evaluation of the seismic performance of a building structure installed with an passive and semi-active MR damper by using RT-HYTEM. The building model that was identified from the force-vibration testing results of a real-scaled 5-story building is used as the numerical substructure, and an MR damper corresponding to an experimental substructure is physically tested by using the universal testing machine(UTM). The RT-HYTEM implemented in this study is validated because the real-time hybrid testing results obtained by application of sinusoidal and earthquake excitations and the corresponding analytical results obtained by using the Bouc-Wen model as the control force of the MR damper respect to input currents were in good agreement. Also for preliminary study, some semi-active control algorithms were applied to the MR damper in order to control the structural responses optimally. Comparing between the test results of semi-active control using RT-HYTEM and numerical analysis results show that the RT-HYTEM is more resonable than numerical analysis to evaluate the performance of semi-active control algorithms.

실시간 하이브리드 실험법(real-time hybrid testing method)은 구조물의 수치해석부와 실험부 부분구조를 운동방정식으로 통합하여 실시 간으로 동시에 계산과 실험을 수행하는 방법이다 본 연구는 실시간 하이브리드 실험법을 사용하여 수동 및 준능동 MR감쇠기가 설치된 건축구조물의 내진성능을 정량적으로 평가한다. 건물 모델은 실물 크기 5층 건물을 강제진동실험 결과를 통해 식별한 수치모델로 사용하였고, MR감쇠기는 실험적 부분구조르 UTM에 설치되었다. 본 연구에서 수행되는 실시간 하이브리드 실험은 사인파 및 지진파 가진을 통하여 얻은 결과와 전류에 따른 MR감쇠기의 제어력을 이용하여 얻은 Bouc-Wen모델을 사용하여 얻은 해석모델과 일치함으로 그 유효성을 입증하였다. 또한 예비연구로써 구조물의 응답을 최적으로 제어하기 위한 clipped-optimal 제어알고리즘과 modulated homogeneous friction 준능동 제어알고리즘을 MR감쇠기에 적용하였다. 각 전류별 Bouc-Wen모델을 곡선맞춤하여 각각의 Bouc-Wen모델 파라미터를 식별하였으며 그 결과를 준능동 제어알고리즘 수치해석에 적용하였다. 또한 실시간 하이브리드 실험법을 이용한 준능동 제어 실험결과와 해석결과를 비교하여 준능동 제어알고리즘의 성능을 평가함에 있어 실시간 하이브리드 실험이 합리적임을 보여준다.
