A wall type friction damper is newly Proposed in this paper to improve the performance of R/C framed structures under earthquake loads. Although traditional dampers are usually placed as bracing members, the application ot bracing-type dampers into R/C structures is not as simple as those of steel structures due to the connection between R/C members and dampers and the stress concentration in connection region. Proposed damper is consisted of Teflon-sheet slider and R/C shear wall. The damper can also avoid stress concentration and reduce P-Δ effect. To evaluate the performance of proposed damper, nonlinear dynamic analyses are carried on 10 story and 3 bay R/C structures with numerical model for the damper. It is shown that the damper reduces the inter-story drifts and the time-historic responses; especially the damper prevents from forming plastic hinges on the lower columns.

This paper presents the results of a study of voltage-controlled PIN diode attenuators for Ku-band satellite payload and suggests the temperature-compensation method of these attenuators. The PIN diode attenuators are designed using thin-film hybrid techniques. The load resistance for maximum linear characteristics is determined by simulation and measurements. In the case of APD0805, load resistance of 150 $\Omega$ gives attenuator up to 10 dB linear attenuation range per a PIN diode. Also, measurements over temperature of these PIN diode attenuators were performed. From these measurements, designed PIN diode attenuators shows the severe temperature dependency due to forward voltage variation. A temperature compensation method using thermistor is now suggested to compensate the temperature variation of these PIN diode attenuators. This circuit shows good linear characteristics over wide temperature range

A novel application of nano-technology in the field of engineering, called colloidal damper, is investigated. This device is complementary to the hydraulic damper, having a cylinder-piston construction. Particularly for colloidal damper, the hydraulic oil is replacedby a colloidal suspension, which is consisted from a nano-porous matrix with controlled architecture and a lyophobic fluid. In this experimental work, the porous matrix is composed from silica gel, with labyrinth architecture, coated by organo-silicones substances in order to achieve a hydrophobic surface. Water is considered as associated lyophobic fluid. The colloidal damper test rig and the measuring technique of the hysteresis are described. the influence of the hydrophobicity level upon the colloidal damper hysteresis is investigated, for silica gels with similar pores distribution. A certain desired shape of the hysteresis can be achieved by employing mixture of silica gels with different level of hydrophobicity and/or architecture. With these results, it is believed that the proposed damper can be designed and be applied to the desired structure.

In this study, new shock absorbing system was proposed using silica gel particles according to the nano-technology. For the design and real application of the proposed damper, an experimental investigations are carried out using colloidal damper, which is statically loaded. The porous matrix is composed from silica gel(labyrinth architecture), coated by organo-silicones substances, in order to achieve a hydrophobic surface. Water is considered as associated lyophobic liquid. Reversible colloidal damper static test rig and the measuring technique of the static hysteresis were described. Iufluence of the water volume and particle diameters upon the reversible colloidal damper hysteresis was investigated. Also, influence of the relaxation time on the hysteresis of the damper was investigated. As a result, the proposed new shock absorbing damper is proved as an effective one, which can be replaced for the conventional hydraulic damper.

In this paper, we propose an implementation technology for an active attenuator with the maximum attenuation of -110dBm in the frequency band of 50MHz to 2,15GHz. It provides USB interface to connect to PC providing GUI that sets signal frequency and attenuation step of minimum 1dB. As it attenuates the input signal level down to -110dBm, circuit and equipment design technologies are applied to control both internal and external electro-magnetic noises.. Through the performance test, it is assured that it attenuates input signal level down to -110dBm for the input signal levels of -10 to -30dBm.

Strategically, the Patrol Killer Medium (PKM) ought to run at high speed that produces largely vibration by propeller, in a consequence, the vibration gradually deterioratescrews' working condition and increases the possibility of SONAR detection. In this paper, we propose the propeller damper, which is one of waysto reduce the vibration induced by the propeller, and simulate the ability of the damper numerically. The propeller damper was designed to apply to an isolated plate at the bottom flat board of ship which is directly affected by the fluctuating pressure. The dynamic pressure for the stern part of the PKM is calculated by using the DnV rule and the numerical analysis when the propeller damper applied or not, is performed with ANSYS at the isolated plate that simplified. From the analysis, the damping effect of the proposed propeller damper is confirmed and the reduction ratio for each compartment is estimated based on the experimental data in the PKM.

이 논문은 두 개의 질량을 가진 미소 감쇄 시스템에 대해 외란 관측기 기반 추종 제어기의 강인성을 증가시키는 새로운 감쇄 주입법(damping injection)을 제시한다. '미소 감쇄'란 감쇄 계수가 다른 파라미터들과 비교해서 매우 작다는 것을 의미한다. 파라미터에 불확실성을 가진 미소 감쇄 시스템에 대한 외란 관측기의 적용은 전체 시스템을 불안정성하게 할 수 있다는 것을 관측할 수 있기에, 외란 관측기의 구조 중 공칭 (Nominal) 모델에 인위적으로 더 많은 감쇄를 추가함으로써 강인성을 강화시키는 방법을 제안한다. 또한 강인 제어 이론의 제로 익스클루젼(zero exclusion) 정리를 이용하여 감쇄 주입법의 안정성을 증명하고 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다.

A design and implementation method for the UHF-band(800MHz) variable attenuator using the 3dB coupler is proposed. The 90 degree, 3-dB Coupler is used for the variable attenuator. The principal theory for the 3-dB coupler is introduced. The 3-dB Coupler is designed by the mathematical analysis and a computer simulation tool. A PIN diode is used for the variable resistor at UHF-band. The variable attenuator using the 3-dB coupler and the PIN diode is designed and implemented. The measured results for the variable attenuator by a network analyzer show that the insertion loss is below -l0dB, and the continuous variable attenuation range is about 10dB.

This paper presents a new model that can precisely simulate the attenuation characteristics of the voltage-controlled PIN diode attenuators. After carefully investigating the problems in the conventional PIN diode models, a new PIN diode model was proposed and verified with experimental data. The proposed model is well operated when it is used in the voltage-controlled mode as well as current-controlled mode, and is simple and straightforward model, since the PN junction diode of this model has the same curve as that of the PIN diode. This model is very effective to design voltage-controlled attenuator and its implementation in commercial simulators is simple and accurate. This model will allow RF and Microwave designers to better use the PIN diodes in various circuits.

세라믹 강 유전체를 이용한 corrugate 구조의 으 전극으로 마들어지 유전체 칩에 의한 전자파 감쇄기를 설계하고 제작하였다. 이 감쇄기의 감쇠는 corrugate 구조에 의한 전파모드 차단조건으로부터 얻을 수 있도록 설계하였다. 근거리 프로브 측정 및 SAR 측정에 의한 결과는 셀룰라 밴드인 824∼849MHz에서 3.6∼5dB, PCS 밴드인 1750∼1780 MHz에서 4∼5dB의 감쇠를 얻었다. 또한 감쇠 범위는 휴대폰 정면을 중심으로 ±35°이외는 감쇠가 없으므로 통화기 통화품질의 저하가 거의 없음이 나타났다.
