In the present study, the amount of slow drift motion damping of shuttle tanker in still water and various environments is measured through free decay model test. Although the estimation of slow drift damping is essential in analysing slow drift motion of moored FPSO or DP controlled shuttle tanker, it is difficult to predict damping accurately by theoretical analysis. The estimation of drift damping depends on model test mostly. Through the model test, the amount of slow drift damping is measured and the effects of environments and thruster action on drift damping are investigated. The measured damping characteristics are expected to be used in the analysis on slow drift motion of moored vessel.

Chine형 선체단면 주상체의 자유표면에서의 상하운동에 수반되는 부가질량과 감쇠력을 Ursell-Tasai 방법에 의하여 계산하였다. Chine형에서 구하여진 결과는 같은 선체단면적 계수와 반폭흘수비를 갖는 등가 Lewis형의 결과와 비교하였고 선체단면의 형상이 부가질량 및 감쇠력에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. Chine형과 등가 Lewis형 선체단면 주상체에 파고가 일정한 횡파가 입사할 때의 상하운동을 고찰하였다. 이상과 같은 계산 및 고찰을 통하여 다음 결과를 얻었다. 1) 자유표면이 부가질량에 미치는 영향은 chine형이 등가 Lewis형단면보다 큰 값을 갖는다. 2) 선체단면적계수와 반폭흘수비가 같은 경우에 감쇠력의 크기는 Lewis form, single chine, double chine순서이다. 3) 선체단면계수와 반폭흘수비는 상하운동에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 생각되며, 선체단면의 기하학적인 변형이 운동에 미치는 영향은 중요한 요소가 되질 못한다. 4) 감쇠력계수와 선체단면계수와의 관계는 간단한 관계를 유지한다.

The added viscoelastic dampers increase damping and stiffness of buildings and results in so called non-classical or non-proportional damping problem. In this system the eigenvectors of the undamped system may not diagonalize the damping matrix, and the system is generally analyzed by converting the equation of motion into a 2n first order state-space form. As this approach is complex and time-consuming compared to the classically damped problem, the system is often analyzed by neglecting the off-diagonal terms in the damping matrix. In this paper the theoretical background of the approximate approach is studied, and the vibration characteristics of a three-story shear building with a viscoelastic damper are investigated using the exact and approximate method. It is found that the approximate method may produce good result when the additional damping is small, but as the damping increases the error also increase.

비성형 동력학계로 모델링된 부유수송체의 동적응답을 조사하고 그 운동의 안정성을 해석하였다. 종동요 모우드의 고유주파수가 횡동요 모우드의 고유주파수의 두배가 되는, 즉, 2:1 내부공진 혹은 자기계수공진인 조건하에서, 이부유수송체는 한 운동 모우드의 직접가진에 의해 간접가진된 다른 모우드가 대진폭 응답을 보일 수 있음을 밝혔다. 또항, 종동요 모우드의 감쇠력은 비교적 넓은 범위의 운동에 대해 선형적임에 반해, 횡동요 모우드의 감쇠력은 점성의 영향이 대단히 커서 비선형성이 대단히 강한 것으로 알려져 왔다. 이 문제를 수학적으로 모델링하기 위하여, 종동요 모우드의 운동방정식에는 선형및 제곱형의 합의 형태인 감쇠력 모형을 사용하였다. 다중척도법을 사용하여 이 두가지 운동 모우드의 주기적 응답및 그의 안정성에 미치는 제곱형 비선형 횡동요 감쇠력의 영향을 밝혔다. 조우주기가 횡동요 모우드의 고유주기와 근사한 경우에 대하여 이 비선형계의 응답을 구하고 주파수-응답 곡선으로 나타내었다.

This study introduces the design of a bi-directional damper using a tuned mass damper(TMD) and a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD) and presents experimental verifications to confirm its control performance. The damper used in this study behaves as a TMD in a specific translational direction and acts as a TLCD in the other orthogonal direction. First, shaking table test is performed to investigate the coupled effect of control forces produced by TMD and TLCD. Then, the parameters that affect to dynamic characteristics of the proposed damper are quantitatively evaluated based on the experimental results. Testing results shows that the damper used in this study produces control forces coupled by TLCD and TMD, as it is excited by waves with an incident angle. Also, it is observed that the damper can be used to reduce bi-directional responses of building structures.

The roll damping characteristics of the three models of a 3ton class fishing vessel, that is the bare hull, hull with bilge keels, and hull with bilge keels and a central wing are investigated by the free roll tests in head waves in a towing tank with the variations of the forward speed, initial angle and OG. The wave length variations are also included. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results of mathematical modellings by the energy method for these three models and the energy dissipation patterns are also compared. The roll damping speed increases, the effect of the waves on the roll damping of the models with the additional devices is negligible due to the much increased damping caused by the lift increase.

본 연구는 적은 감쇠(damping) 효과를 가지면서도 안정적으로 의복의 움직임을 생성할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. 최근 의복 시뮬레이션 분야에서는 뛰어난 수치적 안정성을 지닌 암시적 적분법(implicit integration)이 널리 이용되어 왔다. 그러나, 암시적 적분법은 선형화 과정에서 과도한 감쇠효과가 발생하고, 이 감쇠효과는 내부 변형 없는 회전이동 시에도 과도하게 나타나므로, 옷감의 회전 이동이나 주름의 자연스런 움직임을 크게 방해한다. 본 연구는 불필요한 감쇠효과를 줄이고 안정적으로 의복의 움직임을 표현할 수 있는 새로운 암시적 적분법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법용 선형화 과정에서 발생하는 내부 감쇠력을 회전이용이 아닌 순수한 내부 변형에 대해서만 발생하도록 모델링하며, 이렇게 계산된 내부 감쇠력을 역학식에 안정적으로 반영한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 기존의 방법들에 비해 보다 다양한 재질의 옷감을 과도한 감쇠 효과 없어도 안정적으로 실시간에 생성할 수 있음을 보여주었다.

This paper is concerned with a new concept for the damper without neither a coil spring nor fluid. The new damper concept consists of the permanent magnets and the cylinder of the conducting material. The opposite pole magnets produces the repulsive forces and this is substituted for the coil spring. The relative motion between the magnets and conducting cylinder produces eddy currents thus resulting in the electromagnetic force, which turns out to be the damping force and is substituted for a damping fluid. This damper is called the eddy current damper(ECD). The important advantage of the proposed ECD is that it does not require any damping fluid and any external power and is non-contacting and relatively insensitive to temperature. In the present study, the proposed ECD was constructed and the experiments were performed to investigate its dynamic characteristics. The experiments shows that the proposed ECD has the excellent damping ability.

Numerical analysis of shear walls governed by flexural behavior is conducted for the seismic control performance of proposed friction dampers installed at the center of coupling beams. Control effectiveness of shear walls connected by beams with the proposed dampers are compared for single shear wall with same flexural rigidity. Average responses of the shear walls with the dampers are found with seven scaled-downed earthquakes based on KEC 2005 design spectrum. Slip load is the most important design parameter. It is designed to be 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90% of total vertical shear force at damper location to prevent damper slip in specific stories. Nonlinear time-history analysis is conducted by using SeismoStruct analysis program. Seismic control performance of the dampers is evaluated for base shear, energy dissipation, curvature and top-floor displacement. Results show that the dampers are the most effective in reducing the responses when their total slip load is 30% of total vertical shear force.

This research proposed a dashpot type mount design using MR fluids, and investigated experimentally the influence of the design parameters of the dashpot MR fluid mount, which affect the damping forces of the dashpot MR fluid mount. In order to observe the influence, the dashpot MR fluid mount which have the different effective length and the core structure is manufactured. The variations of the resistance forces according to different effective lengths of the magnetic pole of MR fluid mount, along which magnetic field is defined, was investigated. It was founded that the resistance forces from the MR mount decreased with increased input frequencies, while increased with increased applied electric current intensities. Nevertheless, there is no appreciable change in the resistance forces with respect to the effective length variations of the magnetic pole of MR fluid mount.
