Abstract

This study addresses the optimal shape of a LCVA maximizing its vibration control effect through numerical parametric study. Various LCVAs having the same total mass and tuning frequency are designed with constraints on the dimensions and water level, and one obtaining the highest equivalent damping ratio of the controlled system is chosen as an optimal solution. As a result, it was found that the limit on the variation of the water level in the vertical liquid column plays an important role constraining the shape of the LCVA. As the LCVA width perpendicular to the plane of liquid motion increases, the equivalent damping ratio rises with slowdown so that determination of the proper width is important in design of the LCVA shape.

본 연구에서는 수평관과 수직관의 단면이 다른 액체기둥흡진기(LCVA)의 제진효과를 극대화하기 위한 최적형상을 수치 해석에 의한 변수연구를 통해 찾았다. 특정 진동수에 동조되고, 동일한 총질량을 가지면서 치수 및 수위와 관련된 구속조건을 만족하는 다양한 형상의 LCVA를 설계하고, 이 가운데 가장 큰 등가감쇠비를 획득하는 형상을 찾았다. 그 결과 LCVA 형상의 설계에서 수위변동폭이 최적형상을 결정하는 중요한 구속조건 역할을 한다는 것을 확인하였다. 유체가 운동하는 평면과 직교하는 방향의 LCVA 수평폭을 증가시킬수록 등가감쇠비가 증가하였으며, 증가율은 점차 둔화되는 것으로 나타나 적정 수평폭의 결정이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
